Events in the log file

What caused the event?

What values were changed?

Where do I see what values were changed?

@greygit1

Maybe if you did a search you would have found the answer to your question: -

Why do I have a daily CWMP session on my router although for a Hub One I am sure it applies to a Hub Two

There are answers from plusnet staff so I expect it to be accurate.

I am aware that tr-069 is used for remote management of devices. It is, however, rather opaque on what actually happens.

Out of interest, the "crash course" has this...

"It collects data that can be used in business analysis, for example, detecting active users to whom additional offers can be made"

What sort of data could be collected for that purpose?

@greygit1 what information are you requesting that isn't covered by my explanation in the thread @Dan_the_Van linked to?

To answer your question theoretically, pretty much any information contained in a hub's data model can be collected at time of inform. For Plusnet, this is pretty limited though, to things like the PPP user, IP address, firmware version, and activation/last/first contact times.

Support staff also have access to tooling that provides insight into a customer's home network configuration (read: network topology etc.) and allows them to make remote changes to things like Wi-Fi settings, restarting/factory resetting the hub.

Edit: For business analysis, you could for example collect information about the number of devices on a customer's network, what they are, and how much data each downloads/uploads. This could be used to inform whether or not a customer is on the appropriate package for their needs e.g. if somebody has three games consoles, multiple IP streaming devices and hosts an HTTP web server, then they're likely going to have a rough time of things if they are on a low bandwidth service.

You have subsequently answered much, much more. Even if 'theoretically'.

As I expected, the use of the protocol is opaque. And (understandbly) operates over HTTPS. Which increases the opacity.

I thank you for your theoretical opennness on the possibilities.

Me? I'm just naturally inquisitive. Or should that be nosey...

It didn't answer what I thought it would
