Overview: Reports

You can use Cisco Unity reports to gain information about subscribers and system activity. Some Cisco Unity reports provide information about subscribers and system activity over a period of time. Others offer a "snapshot" of a particular Cisco Unity entity as it stands at the time you run the report.

Refer to the following sections in this chapter to learn more about using Cisco Unity reports:

About Report Data—This section provides information about how Cisco Unity gathers and stores report data, and which settings you can change to ensure that your reports contain the data you need.

Generating Reports—This section details how to generate, view, and print Cisco Unity reports.

Refer to the following sections in this chapter for information on specific reports:

Subscriber reports:

Subscribers Report—This report includes profile and account information about each subscriber.

Subscriber Message Activity Report—This report shows when subscriber messages were left and when they were accessed.

Distribution Lists Report—This report shows the owner, members, and creation date of public distribution lists.

Failed Login Report—This report shows details of failed attempts to log on to subscriber accounts (by phone) and to the Cisco Unity Administrator.

Storage Usage Report—This report shows the storage limits and disk space used for messages by a subscriber or by all subscribers.

Transfer Call Billing Report—This report provides information about call transfers from call handlers and subscribers; this information can be used for billing purposes.

Outcall Billing Report—This report provides information about outgoing calls made by Cisco Unity for message notifications; this information can be used for billing purposes.

System reports:

Administrative Access Activity Report—This report shows details of all changes entered into the Cisco Unity Administrator; this information can be used as an audit trail of commands entered by system administrators.

Event Log Report—This report provides information from the Windows application log.

Port Usage Report—This report shows activity on each port; this information can be used to determine when to add new ports.

System Configuration Report—This report provides information on system resource allocation.

Unresolved References Report—This report shows any call handlers that were left in an invalid state when the Cisco Unity Administrator was not used to delete subscriber accounts.

Call Handler Traffic Report—This report shows how many calls are routed through a particular call handler and how callers are choosing to exit that handler.

AMIS Out Traffic Report—This report provides information about outbound AMIS calls.

AMIS In Traffic Report—This report provides information about inbound AMIS calls.

About Report Data

Cisco Unity reports that provide information about subscribers and system activity over a period of time contain log-based data. For example, the Call Handler Traffic report shows how many calls are routed through a particular call handler and how callers are choosing to exit that handler during the time period that you specify. Other Cisco Unity reports offer a "snapshot" of subscriber or system data as it stands at the time you run the report, and therefore they reflect the current status of a particular Cisco Unity entity. For example, the Storage Usage report shows the current storage limits and disk space used for messages by a subscriber or by all subscribers.

Cisco Unity automatically gathers and stores data that is used in log-based reports every 30 minutes. You specify how long Cisco Unity stores the data in the Cleanup Interval for Logger Data Files in Days field on the System > Configuration > Settings page. For example, if you have set this field to three, a log-based report will reflect activity only for the last three days, even if you specified more than three days in the time range for the report.

You should regularly delete the report files that you generate, to avoid accumulating large amounts of data. By default, Cisco Unity deletes report files every seven days. To change how often reports are deleted, adjust the settings for the Cleanup Interval for Report Files in Days field on the System > Configuration > Settings Page.

Generating Reports

When you generate a report, you can specify some or all of the following:

The subscribers, administrators, or distribution lists to include in the report

The date and time range to include

The sort order for the data in the report

You also choose to save the report either as a Web page or as a comma-delimited file:

Web page

An HTML file. You use a Web browser to view and to print the report. In some cases, a report may be too large to be viewed in a Web browser.

Comma-delimited file

A text file (also known as a comma separated or CSV file). Each row in the report appears on a separate line, and values are separated by commas. Select this format if you want to view the information in another application, for example, a spreadsheet program.


The best time to generate reports is when the system is not busy: after regular business hours when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls, or when there are no other processes running (for example, before or after a full backup). Note that for large systems, reports that offer a "snapshot" of subscriber or system data may take a significant amount of time to run.

In the current release of Cisco Unity, reports cannot be scheduled in advance, and if you turn off Cisco Unity while there are reports in the report queue, the reports will be deleted.

Viewing and Printing Reports

When a report is ready, Cisco Unity sends an e-mail to the person who generated the report. The e-mail contains a link to the report file. To access the report file, all Cisco Unity administrators must have full read/write access and all Domain Users must have read rights to the CommServer\Reports directory located on the Cisco Unity server (these access levels are set by default). To have read rights, an administrator or user must either be a member of the domain that Cisco Unity is in or be associated with a domain that is trusted by the domain that Cisco Unity is in.

All reports contain a report header followed by columns of data. If, for example, you generate a report for all subscribers, the subscriber name is included above the data associated with the subscriber.

To view a report


Step 1 Click the link in the e-mail message.

Step 2 If the report is in Web page format, the browser will start automatically and display the information. If the report is in comma-delimited format, you may be required to choose an application in which to display the information.


To print a report


Step 1 View the report, as described above.

Step 2 Click Print in the File menu.


To view the status of a report

The ability to view report status is controlled by class of service.


Step 1 Go to http://<server name>/status, or double-click the desktop shortcut to the Status Monitor.

Step 2 Click Reports.

Use the Event Log report to list events from the Windows application log. You can generate the report for all application events on the Cisco Unity server, or for the events that apply only to Cisco Unity. Note that Cisco Unity writes events only to the Windows application log; it does not write events to the system or security logs. If you generate a report for all application events, you can identify the Cisco Unity events as those events that end in "_MC" (for example, "AvLogMgrSvr_MC").

You can also view application events by using the Windows Event Viewer (from the Start menu, click Programs > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer). For more information on Windows events, refer to the Windows Event Viewer online Help. If you want Cisco Unity to send e-mail, voice mail, or both to subscribers or public distribution lists in response to an application event on the Cisco Unity server, see the "Event Notification Utility" section on page 6-3 to set this up.

The Event Log report includes the following information:

Unresolved References Report

Use the Unresolved References report to locate primary call handlers (those call handlers that are associated with a subscriber account), other call handlers, and interview handlers that are left unresolved because of the improper deletion of a subscriber account. The problem occurs when a subscriber is deleted by using Microsoft Exchange or Windows administrator applications without first deleting the subscriber by using the Cisco Unity Administrator.

The Unresolved References report examines the Cisco Unity information stored in the Exchange directory and reports any problems that it finds. The report identifies the unresolved handler, describes the problem, and suggests a solution.

If the report finds an unresolved primary call handler, you will need to use the Cisco Unity SysCheck utility to remove it. To access the SysCheck utility, go to the directory in which Cisco Unity is installed (the default is C:\CommServer). Then, browse to the SysCheck subdirectory, and run SysCheck.exe.

The Unresolved References report includes the following information:

Handler Name

The name of the unresolved handler.

Handler/Access ID

The extension (if any) associated with the handler.

Handler Type

The type of handler found to be in an unresolved state. The type can include call handlers, interview handlers, the directory handler, or primary call handlers.

Owner

The owner of the handler.

Message Recipient

The message recipient associated with the handler.


Call Handler Traffic Report

Use the Call Handler Traffic report to track the number of calls routed by a particular call handler, and how callers chose to exit that handler.

There are four ways a caller can exit a call handler: by hanging up, by choosing a one-key dialing option, by dialing an extension that transfers the call to another call handler (or subscriber), or by being routed automatically by the after-greeting action specified in the call handler.

The Call Handler Traffic report includes the following information:

Start Time

The specific hour or date(s) by which data is broken down for the time period that you specified in the Date Range.

Total Calls

The total number of calls routed to the call handler.

Method Callers Use to Exit a Call Handler

The total number of times each exit method is used by callers. Callers can exit a call handler by hanging up, pressing a one-key dialing option, dialing an extension that transfers the call to another call handler (or subscriber), or by being routed to another call handler (such as the Good-Bye call handler) as specified by the after-greeting action.

Key

The number of calls in which the caller exited the call handler by pressing a one-key dialing option. The report includes a tally for each key.

DTMF ID

The number of calls in which the caller exited the call handler by dialing a valid extension to transfer to another call handler (or subscriber).
