2 months ago Pete Brightwell's display of NMOS specs according to theme suggests another way to check that our traits are sufficient. I see the themes below as being attractive from a partial backup and restore point of view. Note that some parts of a theme can be unique to a device whereas as some parts can be common across multiple devices. Where it looks like a theme has both parts I've separated them out into two parts below:
-
IS-04/09/08/05/07{codecs/fec/sips settings} -> device structure
-
IS-04 UUIDs -> entity identifiers
-
BCP-002-02 (e.g. vendor, serial numbers) -> device identity
-
IS-13 (user identifiers)
-
IS-05/07{network addresses} -> connectivity
-
IS-10 (e.g. certificates/passwords etc) -> security
-
BCP-008-02 and similar (statistics and alarms/SNMP etc) -> monitoring

I'm keen to check that the list of traits is flexible enough to deal with the various restore scenarios we might encounter. To explore that, here's a list of property types from one of our config files that we should assign traits to. If multiple types of data have the same trait, are there scenarios where we would want to restore some of the properties with that trait but not all of them? If so, do we need additional traits?
User supplied device name
User supplied asset number
serial number
software build information
Active license file
timezone
SNMP settings including addresses
Alarms
List of included cards
Ethernet interface settings
Stream data such as ip addresses, FEC
User supplied stream label
Streams statistics - last hour, last day, last week etc.
SFP info
Management IP interface (separate to media IP interfaces - DHCP? / Default gateway? etc)
BCP-002-02 type information
IS-13 type information
IS-05 codec type values
IS-05 network address type values
IS-05 activation times?
IS-08 audio mapping values
IS-04 UUID values
NcBlock type information (lists of other objects)
