Provisioning Dashboards and Reports

Provisioning Dashboards and Reports Overview

On a day-to-day basis, operations personnel are likely to use the Dashboard displays to monitor the IP telephony environment. Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning has three dashboards. They are:

  • Global Admin Dashboard—To manage the real-time information about the operational status of your processor, device, domain, and users.

  • Domain Admin Dashboard—To manage the real-time information about the operational status of your domain related devices and users.

  • User Dashboard—To manage the details of Running, Pending and Failed orders. The user dashboard is shown for users other than admin, ordering and self-care roles.

The benefits of Provisioning Dashboard are:

  • Easy access to information —You can view the processor capacity, device synchronization status, pending orders, deployment details. You can also view the logged in and locked users.

  • Easy customization—You can modify and personalize your dashboard and configuring your dashboard layout to display what you want to see.

  • Lightweight GUI—Data is displayed in the Unified Dashboard and use of external pop-up windows are minimized.

Global Admin Dashboard

The Home dashboard allows you to view important statistics and details of the processors, pending orders, status of the device synchronization, domains and their deployment details, and users who are logged in as well as locked.

The dashboards are available under Home.

You can see all of this on a single page, instead of navigating through several pages. You can also click the links provided in the dashboard to view the relevant details.

A Pie Chart displays the details of the Licensed and Used Voice Terminal (Endpoints). To view the Pie Chart, you need to have Adobe Flash Player installed in your system. If it is not installed, you are prompted to install it.

The table below describes the dashlets available under Global Admin, Domain Admin and User dashboards.

The Audit Log Trail report can also be used to track the orders. It helps you to track the activities performed by a user and also to identify when the action took place. For example, based on user login or logout events, you can search for the orders created by a particular user during the login period. You can export audit data in .tsv format based on filtering provided in the user interface. To view the details of a specific audit trail, hover over Quick View.

The audit table has the entries of last 24 hours by default. The user can select a specific date range from the date filter, and the entries that are available gets populated in the table.
