Ops View

The Ops View or Cluster View in the Home page (Monitor > System View > OpsView) provides high-level information about the Cisco Unified CM and VCS clusters that are available in the system. Based on your mode of deployment, you can view the details of all the clusters in your system or clusters for a specific customer. The Ops View displays the unregistered count of the hard and soft endpoints as separate entity.

For Cisco Prime Collaboration Release 11.5 and later

The Ops View or Cluster View is in the Home page (Network Health Overview > OpsView).

For Cisco Prime Collaboration Release 11.6 and later

The OpsView tab also displays the details of SIP trunks that are connected to Unified Communications Manager cluster.

Prerequisites:

  • The cluster must be discovered in Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance for the cluster data to be displayed in the Ops View.

  • A user must be associated to a domain or customer that has one or more Cisco Unified CM or VCS clusters in the system. However, this is not applicable for globaladmin users as they have access to all the domains.

  • Add the Cisco Prime Assurance Server as a syslog receiver in the CUCM. This ensures that the Ops View is dynamically updated to reflect the trunk status changes in a cluster.


Note

In case the Ops View is blank, refer to the note in the section Getting Started with Prime Collaboration Assurance in the Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance and Analytics Install and Upgrade Guide.


You can view the details of the cluster either in Treemap view or List view.

For the SIP Trunks that are associated with Unified Communications Manager cluster, the list view displays the column names for the following states:
  • No Service

  • Partial Service

  • UNKNOWN-Options Ping Enabled

  • Full Service


Troubleshooting

  1. Issue: The Ops View does not display the clusters

    Recommended Action: Check that the following conditions are met:
    • Ensure the cluster has been discovered and Cisco Unified CM is in managed state in Inventory Management

    • Ensure the CDT discovery is completed for the clusters, and are displayed in Inventory Management

    • The Endpoint Diagnostics displays all the endpoints

  2. Issue: The Registration status does not display the correct count

    Recommended Action: Check that the following conditions are met:
    • Ensure the CDT discovery had updated the count information

    • You must re-trigger the CDT discovery if the CDT discovery is not completed successfully

    • Ensure Cisco Unified CM is enabled to send syslogs to Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance.

  3. Issue: The leaf color of the UCM SIP Trunk does not change as expected.

    Recommended Action: Check that the following conditions are met:
    • Check if the Prime Collaboration Assurance is added as a syslog receiver in the CUCM since the trunk status change comes as a syslog update to Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance.

    • Another workaround is to rediscover the CUCM.

  4. Issue: Sometimes the globaladmin user is unable to view the OpsView Dashlets page.

    Recommended Action: Run the following script:

    A new script opsview_globaladmin.sh is created.

    Recommended path: Save the script at the following path: /opt/emms/emsam/bin

  • License Type—Displays the different types of licenses available, such as, CUWLPremium, CUWLStandard, UCM Advanced, and so on.

  • Product —The product type to which the license type belongs.

  • Status—The status for a license type - valid, violated, demo.

  • Remaining—Count of licenses available or unused, for each license type.

This dashlet is populated once, after nightly CDT discovery is completed, by default. This dashlet is also refreshed after every CDT discovery.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Standalone Prime Licensing Manager (PLM) shows as a non-Cisco Device in Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance 11.6.

Recommended Action: This is likely to happen when PLM has a SNMP community string configured. To discover PLM correctly, ensure there is no community string configured. If it is, delete it and proceed to discover PLM in Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance. Basically, PCA does not support SNMP community string configuration for PLM discovery.


Note

Not every co-resident PLM uses OS-Admin user to get license information. It depends on the user roles created on CUCM. In most customer deployments, the web administrator has privileges assigned to the CLI/OS Admin. The Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance can get the license information from this user.


VCS License Usage
You can view the Traversal and Non Traversal license usage for all VCS clusters, individual VCS servers in a cluster, standalone VCS server(s), Cisco Expressway-Core, Cisco Expressway-Edge or a Cisco VCS with Cisco Collaboration Edge or Core. For Cisco Expressway-Core and Cisco Expressway-Edge clusters, you can also view the peak number of calls since last restart in the Expressway Peak Concurrent Video Calls column.

Note

The licenses must be installed for the peak number of calls to be displayed. For VCS clusters, the column for peak number of calls displays N/A when the license is not installed or when the value is zero.


This dashlet does not auto refresh. You have to refresh the dashlet to get current data.

For VCS version 7.0 and later, any traversal or non-traversal call licenses that have been installed on a cluster peer are available for use by any peer in the cluster. For versions earlier than 7.0 licenses are not shared across the cluster; each peer can only use the licenses that are installed in it.

The number of licenses that can be installed on any one individual peer is limited to the maximum capacity of each VCS unit, as follows:
  • 500 non-traversal calls
  • 100 traversal calls
  • 2,500 registrations

The registration licenses are not shared across a cluster. If a cluster peer becomes unavailable, the shareable licenses installed on that peer will remain available to the rest of the cluster peers for two weeks from the time the cluster lost contact with the peer. This will maintain the overall license capacity of the cluster - however, each peer is still limited by its physical capacity as listed above. After this two week period, the licenses associated with the unavailable peer are removed from the cluster. To maintain the same capacity for your cluster, you should ensure that either the problem with the peer is resolved or new option keys are installed on another peer in the cluster.

Customer Voice Portal License Usage

The Customer Voice Portal (CVP) License Usage is categorized under Prime License Manager licenses. This dashlet displays the license usage of CVP call server.

Contact Center Assurance Topology Dashboard

Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance Advanced provides you with the logical top-level view of an entire IP-based Contact Center, where the Unified Contact Center devices, managed by Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance, are displayed in a simple topology.

The Contact Center topology lets you view the entire set of devices in an IP-based Contact Center, considered as primary data center (represented as side A in the topology), which is connected to a secondary data center (represented as side B) via the private and public clouds.

If you have deployed Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance in Enterprise Mode, go to Monitor > System View > OpsView > Contact Center Topology.

For Cisco Prime Collaboration Release 11.5 and later

If you have deployed Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance in Enterprise Mode, go to Network Health Overview > Contact Center Topology.

If you have deployed Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance in MSP mode, all devices that are managed by Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance, for a specific customer, are displayed in this dashboard. To navigate to the Contact Center Topology page: go to the Home page, click a customer (Customer Summary > Customer name). Click Contact Center Topology to view the corresponding Topology for that customer. Managed IP address is displayed for devices in the topology view.

For the clouds (public and private clouds) in the topology, the corresponding interface information, which has been configured, is displayed.

Click on the performance counter name or value (displayed below each device icon in the topology) to view the performance dashboard for that counter in a new tab. For more information on Performance dashboard, see Create Custom Performance Dashboards.

The Contact Center Assurance topology focuses on relationship between various devices in a contact center. Rest your mouse-pointer over a device to view the IP address and host name details. The following devices are displayed in the Contact Center Topology dashboard.

For a list of devices, see Supported Devices for Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance.

For Cisco Prime Collaboration Release 11.6 and later

The following table lists the link status between devices in the Unified Contact Center:

CVP Virtualized Voice Browser (VVB) No

Note

You can view Virtualized Voice Browser (VVB) devices in the Contact Center Assurance topology, when VVB is integrated with CVP 11.5 and later versions.


You can select Contact Center deployment router pair from the Select Any Router drop-down list. The topology is displayed for the selected router pair. If a router is deleted from inventory, then the drop-down list does not list the deleted router and corresponding side (Side A or Side B) to which that router belongs to does not appear in the topology.

This is applicable only if you have deployed Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance in Enterprise mode.

Troubleshooting through Topology View

In the Contact Center Assurance topology view, alarm icons appear next to the device when an alarm is generated on the device. The topology also helps you troubleshoot the issue by allowing a quick launch to the Device 360° view when you rest the mouse over the device IP address. From the Device 360° view, you can see the Alarm and Interface. It also allows you to perform a trace route, ping the device, or go the Alarms and Events page. For details on Device 360° view, see "Managing Inventory" chapter in the Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance Guide - Advanced.

For a device with alarms, the highest severity of the alarm only will be displayed. When an alarm is generated, it remains in the Contact Center Assurance topology view until it is cleared. The cleared alarm is removed after you invoke the Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance purge operation.

If you have deployed Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance in the MSP mode, the shared components are managed under a common deployment. For the device that is shared, you can view the IP address only. If you do not have access to devices that are shared, you cannot launch Device 360° for them (shared devices will be in the view-only mode for those customers who have no access to such devices).


Note

  • If you have deployed Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance in the MSP mode, topology view is not supported in cases where you manage both shared (4 K Shared Contact Center) and dedicated deployment models.

  • The topology view is automatically refreshed every two minutes.
  • Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance supports single Unified CCE enterprise deployment only.
  • Expand/collapse icons are available for abstract devices only.
  • Unified CCE Topology is not supported if more than one peripheral gateway (PG) server is managed in either side. Delete the additional peripheral gateways (PGs) from Inventory Management for the topology to launch successfully.

Normal priority signals include call processing functions, key presses, and on-hook and off-hook notifications, among other events. A large number of normal-priority events will cause degraded performance on Unified CM, sometimes resulting in delayed dial tone, slow call connection, or loss of dial tone. Use this counter in conjunction with the Queue Signals Processed Normal counter to determine the call processing delay on Unified CM. Remember that high-priority signals must complete before normal-priority signals begin to process, so check the high-priority counters as well to get an accurate picture of the potential delay.

Low: Indicates the number of low-priority signals in the Unified CM queue. Low-priority signals include station device registration (except the initial station registration request message), among other events. A large number of signals in this queue could result in delayed device registration.

Lowest: Indicates the number of lowest-priority signals in the Unified CM queue. Lowest priority signals include the initial station registration request message during device registration. A large number of signals in this queue could result in delayed device registration.

Normal: Indicates the number of normal-priority signals that are processed by Unified CM for each 1-second interval. Use this counter in conjunction with the Queue Signals Present Normal counter to determine the processing delay on this queue. Remember that high-priority signals are processed before normal-priority signals.

Low: Indicates the number of low-priority signals that are processed by Unified CM for each 1-second interval. Use this counter in conjunction with the Queue Signals Present Low counter to determine the processing delay on this queue. The number of signals that are processed gives an indication of how much device registration activity is being processed in this time interval.

Lowest: Indicates the number of lowest-priority signals processed by Unified CM for each 1-second interval. Use this counter in conjunction with the Queue Signals Present Lowest counter to determine the processing delay on this queue. The number of signals that are processed gives an indication of how many devices began the Unified CM registration process in this time interval.

CTI Manager

Displays information about the devices and applications that interfaces with the CTI Manager. Its displays the following information

Open Devices

The number of devices open by all applications that are connected to CTI Manager.

Open Lines

The number of lines open by all applications that are connected to CTI Manager.

CTI Connection

The number of applications that are connected to CTI Manager.

CM Links

The active Unified Communication Manager link to CTI Manager.

Heartbeat
Displays heartbeat information for the Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco TFTP service.
CMs Heartbeat

Current Value represents the heartbeat of Unified CM. This is an incremental count that indicates that Unified CM is running. If the count does not increment, then Unified CM is down. Past 1 min displays the delta; a value of 0 indicates that Unified Communications Manager is down.

TFTPs Heartbeat

Current Value represents the heartbeat of the TFTP server. This is an incremental count that indicates that the TFTP server is running. If the count does not increment, then the TFTP server is down. Past 1 min displays the delta; a value of 0 indicates the TFTP server is down.

SIP Activity

Displays SIP activity on Cisco Unified Communications Manager, including summary requests, summary responses, summary of failure responses in, summary of failure responses out, retry requests out, and retry responses out. SIP Activity includes all nodes in the cluster, if applicable.

Summary Requests

Displays the summation of total number of SIP request messages received by the SIP device, including retransmissions + the total number of SIP request messages sent out (originated and relayed) by the device. Where a particular message is sent more than once, for example as a retransmission or as a result forking, each transmission is counted separately.

Summary Responses

Displays the summation of total number of SIP response messages received by the SIP device, including retransmissions + the total number of SIP response messages sent (originated and relayed) by the SIP device, including retransmissions.

Summary Failure Responses In

Displays the summation of total number of 4xx class SIP responses received by the SIP device, including retransmissions. This class of responses indicates request failure by a SIP device that provides a client function + the total number of 5xx class SIP responses received by the SIP device, including retransmissions. This class of responses indicates failure responses received by a SIP device that provides a client function + the total number of 6xx class SIP responses received by the SIP device, including retransmissions. This class of responses indicates failure responses received by a SIP device that provides a client function. The responses generally indicate that a node has definitive information about a particular called party, not just the particular instance indicated in the Request-URI.

Summary Failure Responses Out

Displays the summation total number of 4xx class SIP responses sent by the SIP device, including retransmissions. This class of responses indicates request failure by a SIP device that provides a node function + the total number of 5xx class SIP responses sent by the SIP device, including retransmissions. This class of responses indicates failure responses sent by a SIP device that provides a node function + the total number of 6xx class SIP responses sent by the SIP device, including retransmissions. This class of responses indicates failure responses sent by a SIP device that provides a node function. The responses generally indicate that a node has definitive information about a particular called party, not just the particular instance indicated in the Request-URI.

Retry Requests Out

Displays the total number of Request retries that have been sent by the SIP device.

Retry Responses Out

Displays the summation of the total number of Final Response retries that have been sent by the SIP device + the total number of non-Final Response retries that have been sent by the SIP device.

Process

Displays information about the processes that are running on the node.

Process

Name of the process.

PID

The task's unique process ID, which periodically wraps, although it never restarts at zero.

& CPU

The task's share of the elapsed CPU time since the last update and is expressed as a percentage of total CPU time.

Status
The task's process status:
  • 0: Running

  • 1: Sleeping

  • 2: Uninterruptible disk sleep

  • 3: Zombie

  • 4: Traced or stopped (on a signal)

  • 5: Paging

  • 6: Unknown

Shared Memory

The amount of shared memory, in kilobytes, that a task is using. Other processes could potentially share the same memory.

Nice

The nice value of the task. A negative nice value indicates that the process has a higher priority while a positive nice value indicates that the process has a lower priority. If the nice value equals zero, do not adjust the priority when you are determining whether to run the task.

VmRSS

The virtual memory (Vm) resident set size (RSS) that is currently in physical memory in kilobytes, including Code, Data, and Stack.

VmSize

The total amount of virtual memory, in kilobytes, that the task is using. It includes all code, data, shared libraries, and pages that have been swapped out: Virtual Image = swapped size + resident size.

VmData

The virtual memory usage of the heap for the task in kilobytes.

Thread Count

The number of threads that are currently grouped with the task. The negative value –1 indicates that this counter is currently not available because thread statistics (including all performance counters in the Thread object as well as the Thread Count counter in the Process object) have been turned off because the system's total processes and threads have exceeded the default threshold value.

Datastack Size

The stack size for task memory status.

Page Fault Count

The number of major page faults that a task encountered that required the data to be loaded into memory.

Database Summary

Provides connection information for the server, such as the change notification requests that are queued in the database, change notification requests that are queued in memory, the total number of active client connections, the number of devices that are queued for a device reset, the number of replicates that have been created, and the status of the replication.

Change Notification Requests Queued in DB

Displays the number of records from the DBCNQueue table.

Change Notification Requests Queued in Memory

Displays the number of change notification requests that are queued in memory.

Total Number of Connection Clients

Displays the number of change notification requests that are queued in memory.

Replicates Created

Displays the number of replicates that were created by Informix for the DB tables. Every table contains at least one replicate. This counter displays information during Replication Setup.

Replication Status
Displays the state of replication:
  • 0 = Initializing ReplTask thread

  • 1 = Replication setup script fired from this node

  • 2 = Replication is good; replication is set up correctly and most of the tables in the database should be in sync for all nodes of the cluster

    Note

    Run the CLI command utils dbreplication status to see if any tables are out of sync


  • 3 = Replication data transfer is bad in the cluster

    Note

    When the counter shows a value of 3, repli
