Cisco Unified Analysis Manager for Cisco Unified Contact Center Express
The Cisco Unified Analysis Manager (Unified Analysis Manager), a tool included with the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT), is used to perform troubleshooting operations. Unified Analysis Manager also allows you to monitor various aspects of the devices added to the tool. When the Unified Analysis Manager is launched, it can be used to collect troubleshooting information from your system and provide an analysis of that information. You can use this information to perform your own troubleshooting operation or to send the information to Cisco Technical Assistance for analysis.
The Analysis Manager application is installed as an option when you install the RTMT software. The Analysis Manager interface is accessed from the RTMT main menu and quick launch channel.
Once it is installed, the application can identify the supported UC products and applications that you have in your system and troubleshoot call failures across these UC applications, collecting trace and log files, and other platform and configuration information.
The Unified Analysis Manager will support the following products:
Cisco Unified Contact Center Express (Unified CCX)
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM)
Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE)
The three primary components of the Unified Analysis Manager interface are:
Administration—The system component lets you import device and group configuration from an external file and provide a status of jobs run by the Unified Analysis Manager.
Inventory —The inventory component is used to identify all of the devices in your system that can be accessed and analyzed by the Unified Analysis Manager.
Tools —The tools component contains all of the functions that Unified Analysis Manager supports. This includes configuring traces settings, collecting logs and viewing configurations.
Note
For detailed information on the Analysis Manager and its use with
Unified CCX, see Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool Administration Guide, Release 9.0(1).
The Unified Analysis Manager application is installed as part of the RTMT installation. Once you complete the RTMT installation and connect to Unified CM server, you will have access to the Unified Analysis Manager features.
The Unified Analysis Manager application is not displayed when RTMT is connected to a Unified CCX server because this tool is dependent on the Unified CM database.
When you use RTMT to connect to a Unified CM or a Unified CM Business Edition server, you can add nodes to include Unified CCX servers (or any of the supported products) which form part of the Unified Communications solution in Unified Analysis Manager.
Unified Analysis Manager for Unified CCX connection
To monitor and troubleshoot a Unified CCX based solution with the help of Unified Analysis Manager, you must connect to a Unified CM server and then add the Unified CCX nodes accordingly. Other supported products which form the solution should also be added as required.
Caution
The Unified Analysis Manager is designed in such a way that you need to connect to Unified CM server to be able to use the Unified Analysis Manager features, which otherwise are not available when connected to a Unified CCX server. This is because the Unified Analysis Manager is dependent on the Unified CM database for its functioning.
Add Unified CCX Node
The following procedure explains how to add a Unified CCX
node or edit an existing configuration:
Procedure
Step 1
From the Unified Analysis Manager menu, select
Inventory > Node.
The Node window displays.
Step 2
Click the
Add button to add a node or select a node from
the list or click the
Edit button to edit an existing configuration.
The
Add or Edit Node screen displays.
Note
Fields on this screen that are marked with an asterisk (*) are
required fields.
Step 3
Use the
Node Type drop-down list box to select the
node as
Unified CCX.
Step 4
In the
IP/Host Name field, enter the host name or the
IP address of the node you are adding or editing.
Step 5
In the
Transport Protocol field, select the protocol
you want to use. Options for this field depend on the
Product Type you selected.
Note
The
Transport Protocol field is automatically
populated with the default value specific to Unified CCX and is not editable.
Step 6
In the
Port Number field, enter the port number on
the node that you will be using.
Note
The
Port Number field is already populated
with the default value and needs to be changed only if it has been changed
explicitly on the Unified CCX nodes, which is rare.
Step 7
In the
User Name and
Password fields, enter the user name and
password that gives you access to the node. Re-enter the password in the
Confirm Password field.
Note
For the
User Name and
Password fields, use the same Platform
Administrator username and password that you use for Cisco Unified Operating
System Administration on the Unified CCX server.
Step 8
In the
Description field, you can optionally provide
a brief description of the node you are adding.
Step 9
In the
Associated Call Record Server and
Associated Trace File Server fields, use the
drop down list to select the respective servers you want to use for the node.
Step 10
Use the Associated Group checkboxes if you
want to add the node to an existing group.
Step 11
If you have a NAT or Terminal Server configuration, use the
Advanced button to display the
Add Node-Advanced screen. Enter the
appropriate information in the
Alternate IP/Hostname and Alternate
Port fields.
Step 12
Click the
Save button to add the node. You can use the
Cancel button to end the operation without
adding the node.
Add call record server
The following procedure explains how to add a call record
server or edit an existing configuration:
Procedure
Step 1
From the Unified Analysis Manager menu, select
Inventory > Call Record
Repositories.
Step 2
The
Call Record Repository window displays with a
list of configured servers. Click the
Add button to add a new server or highlight a
server on the list or click the
Edit button to edit an existing configuration.
Step 3
Use the
Repository Type drop down list to select
Unified CCX.
Step 4
In the
Hostname field, enter the name of the server
you are adding.
Step 5
In the
JDBC Port field, enter the port number on the
server that you will be using.
Note
The
JDBC Port field is automatically populated
with the default port number if you have chosen Unified CCX as the repository
type.
Step 6
In the
JDBC User Name and
JDBC Password fields, enter the user name and
password that gives you access to the server. Re-enter the password in the
Confirm Password field.
Note
Enter ‘uccxsct’ in the
JDBC User Name field. You can however
reset the password for this user from the Password Management page of the Cisco
Unified CCX Administration. The new password should be used to configure the
Call Record Repository.
Step 7
In the
Description field, you can optionally provide
a brief description of the node you are adding.
Step 8
Use the
Nodes Available for Association to select the
nodes that will have access to the server.
Step 9
If you have a NAT or Terminal Server configuration, use the
Advanced button to display the
Add Call Record Server-Advanced screen. Enter
the appropriate information in the Alternate Hostname
and
Alternate Port fields.
Step 10
Click the
Add button to add the server or
Edit to update the configuration. You can use
the
Cancel button to end the operation without
adding the server.
What to Do Next
After you are done with adding the node(s) and call record
repository(s), click
Test Connectivity from the Unified Analysis
Manager screen to check the connectivity and confirm that the node(s) and call
record repository(s) are up and working.
