2 Cisco Unified Service Statistics Manager Overview
Cisco Unified Service Statistics Manager (Service Statistics Manager) is a product from the Cisco Unified Communications Management Suite that collects and stores short-term operational data to perform longer-term analysis of IP telephony service quality, service availability, call volume, service trends, and resource utilization. Service Statistics Manager does the following:
•Extracts data collected by Cisco Unified Operations Manager (Operations Manager) and Cisco Unified Service Monitor (Service Monitor) and stores this short-term data in the Service Statistics Manager database. Operations Manager and Service Monitor collect Cisco Unified Communications statistics from various Cisco devices and systems.
•Analyzes the stored data and generates out-of-the box reports designed for users in executive, operations, capacity planning, and network administration roles.
Depending on your license level, Service Statistics Manager can also enable you to define Service Level Agreements (SLAs) as well as measure and verify them based on collected statistics.
Service Statistics Manager Components
When you install Service Statistics Manager, the following components are installed:
•Service Statistics Manager—Includes:
–The application server with the database and the backend processes that analyze data and create the reports.
–The web server through which you can access the user interface and view reports.
•SSM Agent—Obtains data for Service Statistics Manager on the Operations Manager or Service Monitor system where it is installed.
•SSM Administration Console—Manage groups, users, and roles. Only a user with admin privilege in Service Statistics Manager can log into this console.
After you install Service Statistics Manager, you can install SSM Agent and SSM Administration Console from the Service Statistics Manager user interface onto additional systems as needed:
•SSM Agent—You must have an SSM Agent installed on a single Operations Manager 2.0.1 system and on the system for each instance of Service Monitor 2.0.1 that has been added to Operations Manager.
•SSM Administration Console—A remotely installed SSM Administration Console communicates with the server where Service Statistics Manager is installed and updates the database on the server. SSM Administration Console is not accessible through a browser. You must launch SSM Administration Console while logged into the system—locally or using VNC—where it is installed.
Licensing
Service Statistics Manager features software-based product registration and license key activation technologies. The following table provides information about terminology used in the registration process.
Understanding Licensing Terms
Table 1 describes the PAK and the License file and usage of these terms.
Table 1 Understanding PAK and License File
Licensing Terms
|
Description
|
Product Authorization Key (PAK)
|
The PAK is printed on the software claim certificate included in product packaging. Use the PAK and the MAC address of the server where Service Statistics Manager will reside to get your license file from Cisco.com. The Service Statistics Manager license file includes support for up to 1,000 phones.
You can purchase incremental licenses to support additional IP phones, registering up to:
•5,000 phones with a single Service Statistics Manager with Standard Edition.
•30,000 phones with a single Service Statistics Manager with Premium Edition.
For each incremental license that you purchase, a PAK is shipped to you, and you must use that PAK to obtain a license file.
Note The Service Statistics Manager license limit must equal or exceed the Operations Manager license limit. Service Statistics Manager licensing checks the licenses for Service Statistics Manager and Operations Manager.
|
License file
|
When you use the PAK to register your product on the product licensing area of Cisco.com, you will receive a license file. To register, you need to provide both of the following:
•The MAC address of the server where Service Statistics Manager will reside.
•The PAK.
|
Obtaining and Installing a License File
Before you install the Service Statistics Manager product, you should register the product and obtain a license file.
Note If you are installing Service Statistics Manager for evaluation only, you do not need to perform this procedure.
To license your product, you must:
Step 1 Register the Service Statistics Manager product with Cisco.com using the MAC address of the server on which Service Statistics Manager will reside and the PAK.
The PAK is printed on the software claim certificate. Get your license file from:
http://www.cisco.com/go/license
Note You will be asked to log in. You must be a registered user of Cisco.com to log in.
Logging in allows your Cisco user profile information to autopopulate many of the product registration fields. Login is case sensitive.
Note If you purchased an incremental license to support additional phones, use the PAK that you received to obtain additional license files. You can install all license files using Step 3 and Step 4.
Step 2 Install the product using the Service Statistics Manager product CD.
Note Service Statistics Manager is installed with an evaluation license that expires after 90 days. To install a product license, continue with Step 3 and Step 4.
Step 3 Copy the product license file and incremental license files, if any, to the Service Statistics Manager server into this directory: NMSROOT\pw\licenses\cisco\etc\licenses.
Note NMSROOT is the directory where Service Statistics Manager is installed; its default location is C:\Program Files\CSCOpx. If NMSROOT exists, delete any files from it.
Step 4 Restart the server:
a. Select Start > Programs > Cisco Unified Service Statistics Manager > Stop Server.
b. Select Start > Programs > Cisco Unified Service Statistics Manager > Start Server.
Adding Licenses to an Installed Service Statistics Manager
Use this procedure to add support for additional IP phones to Service Statistics Manager and to upgrade from an evaluation license to a purchased license.
When you purchase Service Statistics Manager and when you purchase an incremental license, you receive a PAK. Use each PAK to obtain a license file; then install each license file:
Step 1 Obtain the license file using the MAC address of the server where Service Statistics Manager is installed and the PAK that you received when you purchased the product. Get your license file from:
http://www.cisco.com/go/license
Note You will be asked to log in. You must be a registered user of Cisco.com to log in.
Logging in allows your Cisco user profile information to autopopulate many of the product registration fields. Login is case sensitive.

Step 1 Confirm that the Unified Communications Managers exist in Operations Manager device inventory.
Step 2 Ensure that up-to-date patches have been applied to the Unified Communications Managers:
•Check http://www.cisco.com for the most recent patches.
•See Release Notes for Cisco Unified Service Monitor 2.0.1 for a list of some recommended patches and workarounds for Unified Communications Manager.
Step 3 Configure Unified Communications Managers for use with Service Monitor.
Note Required configuration steps vary depending on the Unified Communications Manager software version. For more information, see Unified Communications Manager Configuration in User Guide for Cisco Unified Service Monitor.
Step 4 Add credentials for each Unified Communications Manager to Service Monitor.
Step 5 Verify that the configuration is successful in Service Monitor:
a. From the Unified Communications Manager Credentials page, confirm that Last Contact Status for each Unified Communications Manager is Success. If not, take steps to establish contact, including correcting the credentials and verifying that Unified Communications Manager is correctly configured for use with Service Monitor.
b. Run a CVTQ report, including all Unified Communications Managers in the report filter. If the report contains expected data, the configuration is successful.
Configuring Service Statistics Manager
Note Before you configure Service Statistics Manager, SSM Agent must be installed on the Operations Manager server and on the Service Monitor servers. (See Installing SSM Agent.)
For complete instructions, see the online help for Service Statistics Manager.
Step 1 If Operations Manager is configured in SSL mode, perform these steps:
a. On your Service Statistics Manage system, navigate to this directory: <Installation Directory>/pw/pronto/bin and open a command prompt.
b. From the command prompt, type this: ConfigureSSMToSSLOM <servername> (where servername is the IP address or DNS name of the Operations Manager server) and press Enter. Several messages are displayed.
c. Restart the Service Statistics Manager server. From the command prompt, type:
pw sys start
d. Close any existing browser sessions.
e. Start your browser again and log in to Service Statistics Manager.
Step 2 Start discovery and allow it to complete. This might take some time.
Step 3 Confirm the status of the SSM Agents that you installed on Operations Manager and each Service Monitor that has been added to Operations Manager:
a. In Service Statistics Manager, select the Administration tab and scroll to Advanced.
b. Click the Operations Manager/Service Monitor Details Show link. The Operations Manager/Service Monitor Details window appears. The status for each SSM Agent—one for Operations Manager and one for each Service Monitor—should be green. Green indicates that the SSM Agent is connected to and communicating with Service Statistics Manager.
c. If an SSM Agent Status is red, a user with Administrator role should access the SSM Administration Console and perform troubleshooting; see instructions in User Guide for Cisco Unified Service Statistics Manager.
After each SSM Agent status is green, Service Statistics Manager is configured correctly.
Note Service Statistics Manager reports are generated once daily at 1AM and will be available the day after you complete steps 1, 2, and 3. At that time, view daily Service Statistics Manager reports to verify that Operations Manager and Service Monitor are configured correctly to provide information to Service Statistics Manager and perform additional configuration if necessary.
Step 4 The day after you configure Service Statistics Manager, view some daily reports—weekly and monthly reports will not be available yet—that contain data primarily from:
•Service Monitor:
–Call Traffic and Duration Across Clusters—Daily.
–Call Failure Summary—Daily.
•Operations Manager:
–Detailed Performance—Daily. This report contains data for these device types: Cisco Unified Communications Manager, Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express, Cisco Unity, Cisco Unity Express, Cisco Unity Connection.
–Gateway Utilization—Daily. This report contains data for H323 gateways and MGCP gateways.
