Monitor Configuration for Cisco Unified Communications Manager Clusters and Cisco Unified Communications Managers

The Monitoring Configuration feature enables you to monitor the state of additional attributes that indicate the health, performance, and availability of Cisco Unified Communications Managers, their components, and associated devices. This feature also enables you to configure thresholds and generate incidents. This topic includes the following sections:

This feature is not available for Cisco Unified Communications ManagerExpress systems (systems listed in the UCMEs inventory).

From each form that you open from the UCM Clusters inventory, you can open the Monitoring Configuration window by clicking Actions > IP Telephony. In the Monitoring Configuration window, you can select additional monitoring attributes for the selected device. You can view the states of these additional attributes in the following formats:

  • Analysis pane in the inventory views
  • Reports (If you enable reporting)
  • If you configure thresholds. Incidents in the incidents inventory

Guidelines

  • For the monitoring categories that are displayed at the cluster level, you must always configure the monitoring of measurement types for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster, and then for the underlying Cisco Unified Communications Managers and components.
  • Deleting a measurement type for a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster results in automatic deletion of the same measurement type for the underlying Cisco Unified Communications Managers.
  • Threshold settings of a measurement type on a Cisco Unified Communications Manager cluster can be different from the threshold settings of the same measurement type on an underlying Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
  • On a newly discovered Cisco Unified Communications Manager, UCM Subscriber Group, or device pool, you must manually enable the monitoring of the same measurement types that are configured for the other devices in the cluster.
  • You cannot open multiple Monitoring Configuration windows at the same time. Before opening a new Monitoring Configuration window, make sure to click ( the Save icon) in the existing Monitoring Configuration window to prevent loss of configuration data.

In a Global Network Management (GNM) scenario, from the global manager console, you cannot add, delete, or disable the monitoring settings for the entities managed by the regional managers.

Monitor UCM Call Activities

You can configure the NNM iSPI for IP Telephony to monitor call activities for a Cisco Unified Communications Manager. You can monitor the following activities:

Call Activity Description
Calls in Progress Indicates the number of voice or video calls currently in progress on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager. This includes the number of active calls as well.
Completed Calls Indicates the number of calls that were connected and terminated through the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
Incomplete Calls Indicates the difference between the attempted calls and the completed calls.
Attempted Calls Indicates the calls attempted. A call attempt occurs when the phone is taken from the hook and replaced back on the hook. A call attempt gets registered irrespective of the call being made. A call transfer or a conference attempt increments the number of attempted calls.
Attempted System Calls Indicates the number of calls originating from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the attempted calls to the Unity Message Waiting Indicator.
Active Calls Indicates the number of voice or video calls currently active and connected to the Cisco Unified Communications Manager.
