Cisco Cisco MediaSense Release 8.5(1) Guía De Instalación

Monitoring Server Status

The Systems tab lists all critical services related to the system and the Unified MCP tab defines

all critical services related to the Unified MCP. These critical services are enabled when VOS

starts.

Understanding Performance Monitoring

Cisco Unified Communications provides counters for application performance monitoring.

These counters are frequently referred to as perfmon counters. Perfmon counters allow to track

application performance in real time. You can monitor the performance of various system

components by choosing the counters for any object in RTMT. The counters for each object

display when you expand the folder. Refer to 

 (http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps556/

prod_maintenance_guides_list.html) for detailed information on the interface and logs.

Unified MCP directly updates perfmon counters. The counters contain simple, useful information

 on the system, such as the number of Unified MCP perfmon

counters.

Single object contains most of the Unified MCP performance counters, and these counters have

only one instance. The instance-based counters that belong to the other objects can have zero

or more instances.

Using RTMT for Perfmon

RTMT integrates with the administration and serviceability software for Unified MCP. RTMT

displays performance information for all Unified MCP components. RTMT provides alert

notification for troubleshooting performance. It also periodically polls performance counter to

display data for that counter.

Perfmon allows you to perform the following tasks:

•

Monitor performance counters including all the Unified MCP nodes in a cluster.

•

Monitor Unified MCP servers.

•

Continuously monitor a set of preconfigured objects and receive notification in the form of

an e-mail message.

•

Associate counter threshold settings to alert notification. An e-mail or popup message provides

notification to the administrator.

•

Save and restore settings, such as counters being monitored, threshold settings, and alert

notifications, for customized troubleshooting tasks.

•

Display up to six Perfmon counters in one chart for performance comparisons.
