1.1 Features and Benefits

The module includes Knowledge Scripts to create jobs that monitor the health, availability, and performance of key services, applications, and the operating system. These scripts allow you to monitor and manage any or all of these crucial Cisco Unified Communications servers and Cisco Universal Presence Server resources. Each Knowledge Script can be configured to send an alert, collect data for reporting, and perform automated problem management when an event occurs.

With AppManager for CiscoUCM, you can monitor a Cisco Unified Presence (CUPS) server for:

  • Active instant message sessions between SIP and XMPP

  • Ad-hoc and persistent text conferencing rooms

  • Active incoming and outgoing subscriptions

  • Calendar subscriptions that are currently active

  • Client emulation sessions between Presence Engine and Jabber Session Manager

  • Failed logins for the Jabber Session Manager

  • Messages in the last time slice for the Jabber Session Manager

  • Message packets through the Jabber Session Manager

  • Online users being managed by the Jabber Session Manager

You can also monitor a Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (UCCX) server for:

  • Critical errors with a database

  • Database replication failures

  • Live data feeds having stopped

  • Reporting server being unable to run a report

  • Cisco Unified Intelligence Center service unavailable

  • Presence of internal errors within Reporting Server which may prevent it from functioning correctly.

This module also monitors general system properties relevant to the CUPS and UCCX servers as well other server types:

  • User-specified Performance Monitor counters

  • Operational status of active services on Unified Communications servers

  • Number of hours the Unified Communications server has been operational since its last reboot

  • CPU, memory, and disk usage for a Unified Communications server

  • Availability of and round-trip time to the ccmadmin and ccmuser Web pages
