Cisco Unified Serviceability Alarms and CiscoLog Messages

Cisco Unified Serviceability alarms provide information on runtime status and the state of the system, so you can troubleshoot problems that are associated with your system. The alarm or error message information includes the application name, machine name, and recommended action and other critical information to help you troubleshoot.

You configure the alarm interface to send alarm information to multiple locations, and each location can have its own alarm event level (from debug to emergency). You can direct alarms to the Syslog Viewer (local syslog), SNMP traps, Syslog file (remote syslog), SDI trace log file, SDL trace log file (for Cisco Unified CM and CTIManager services only), or to all destinations.

You use the Trace and Log Central option in the Cisco Unified Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) to collect alarms that get sent to an SDI or SDL trace log file. To view the alarm information sent to the local syslog, use the SysLog Viewer in RTMT.

Note

All the alarms are logged based on their severity and settings of alarm event level. For information on viewing the alarm configuration settings, refer to the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide.

CiscoLog Format

CiscoLog Format

CiscoLog, a specification for unified logging in Cisco software applications, gets used in the Cisco Unified RTMT. It defines the message format when messages are logged into file or by using the syslog protocol. The output that is provided by Cisco software applications gets used for auditing, fault-management, and troubleshooting of the services that are provided by these applications.

Be aware that CiscoLog message format is compatible with one of the message formats that is produced by Cisco IOS Release 12.3 by using the syslog protocol when Cisco IOS Software is configured with the following commands:

service sequence-numbers—A default sequence number that is produced by Cisco IOS. An additional sequence number can also be enabled with this command. This command forces sequence numbers to be shown in terminal output, but results in two sequence numbers in the syslog output. CiscoLog standardizes on a format with just one sequence number. Thus, the compliant Cisco IOS Software configuration occurs when the second number is disabled by using the no service sequence-numbers command.
logging origin-id hostname—The CiscoLog HOST field remains consistent with that produced by the Cisco IOS Release 12.3 when configured with this command. This command does not get documented in the Cisco IOS Software documentation but is available in Cisco IOS Release 12.3. CiscoLog stays compatible with the results that Cisco IOS Software produces in this field.
service timestamps log datetime localtime msec show-timezone year—The CiscoLog TIMESTAMP field remains consistent with the timestamp format produced by Cisco IOS Release 12.3 when configured with this command.

Note

CiscoLog uses the same field delimiters as Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3.

Log File and Syslog Outputs

When CiscoLog messages are written directly into a log file by an application, each message is on a separate line. The line separator should be a standard line separator used on a given platform. On Windows, the line separator must be the sequence of carriage return and line feed characters (ASCII decimal values 13 and 10; often designated as "\r\n" in programming languages). On Solaris and Linux, the line separator is a single line feed character (ASCII decimal value 10 and in programming languages typically "\n"). Two line separators must never appear one after another, for example, you cannot have "\r\n\r\n" on Windows, but "\r\n" is fine because these two characters are a single line separator.

In practical terms, this means that applications should be careful when appending data to an existing log. In some cases an initial line break is required and in others not. For example, if application crashes when writing CiscoLog message, but before it wrote a line break to file, then when the application starts up, it should print an initial line break before printing the next message. An application can determine if an initial line break is necessary during startup by checking the last character sequence in the log file that will be used for appending.

CiscoLog message format is identical for messages written directly to a log file or those generated by using the syslog protocol with two minor exceptions. When CiscoLog messages are written directly into to a file they must be appended with line separators. When CiscoLog messages are sent by using the syslog protocol then the syslog RFC 3164 protocol PRI header must be prepended to each CiscoLog message.

The syslog PRI field encodes syslog message severity and syslog facility. The severity encoded in the PRI field must match the value of the CiscoLog SEVERITY field. Any syslog facility can be used regardless of the content of the message. Typically, a given application is configured to send all its messages to a single syslog facility (usually RFC 3164 facilities local 0 through local 7). Refer to RFC 3164 for details about how to encode the PRI field. Below is an example of a CiscoLog message with the syslog protocol PRI field <165> which encodes the severity level of notice (5) and facility value local4.

<165>11: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 12:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-5-CONFIG: Configured from
console by vty0 [10.0.0.0]

Messages as shown in the example above can be sent to UDP port 514 if using RFC 3164 logging mechanism.

Syslog RFC 3164 provides additional guidelines for message content formatting beyond the PRI field. However, RFC 3164 is purely information (not on IETF standards track) and actually allows messages in any format to be generated to the syslog UDP port 514 (see section 4.2 of RFC 3164). The RFC provides observation about content structure often encountered in implementations, but does not dictate or recommend its use. CiscoLog format does not follow these observations due to practical limitations of the format defined in the RFC. For example, the time stamp is specified without a year, time zone or milliseconds while the hostname can only be provided without the domain name.

CiscoLog messages must remain unaltered when relayed. The PRI field is not part of a CiscoLog message, but rather a protocol header. It can be stripped or replaced if necessary. Additional headers or footers can be added to and stripped from the CiscoLog message for transport purposes.

Standard Syslog Server Implementations

Standard syslog server implementations can be configured to forward received log messages or to store the messages locally. Most syslog server implementations strip the PRI field from the received messages and prefix additional information to the message before storage. This additional information typically includes two extra fields: the local time stamp and the host identifier (IP or DNS name) of the server, which generated or relayed the message.

The following example of a CiscoLog message shown the output after being logged by the Solaris 8 syslog server:

Jun 13 12:12:09 host.cisco.com 11: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 12:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-5-CONFIG: Configured from console by vty0 [10.0.0.0]

There is no standard that defines how syslog servers must store messages. Implementations vary greatly. CiscoLog only addresses the format in which messages are sent to the syslog server, not how they are stored by the server that receives them. Specifically, the format and presence of any additional header fields in syslog log files is outside of the scope of this specification.

Note

The CiscoLog specification recommends that the syslog server implementation store CiscoLog messages in exactly the same format as it receives them only stripping the PRI field and without any extra headers. This would provide an identical storage format for CiscoLog messages written directly to the log file by an application or logged through syslog protocol.

Clock Synchronization

It is important that the clocks of all hosts of a distributed application be synchronized with one authoritative clock. This can be accomplished by using protocols such as NTP. Clock synchronization is recommended because the time stamps in log messages are required in order to be able to reconstruct the correct sequence of events based on messages originating from multiple processes or multiple hosts. Clock drifts can still occur, but ongoing synchronization should reduce this issue to a minimum.

Multipart Messages

ASCII control characters are not permitted in any of the fields of CiscoLog message format. Control characters include characters such as line feed, form feed and carriage returns. This means that multi-line messages are not allowed unless to allow:

Better presentation (for example, a stack trace)
Fragmenting messages which exceed 800 octet limit

Multi-part CiscoLog message consists of a set of multiple valid CiscoLog messages. Messages are grouped together using a special tag key "part", which identifies the part number and the sequence number of the original message.

All messages which are part of a multi-part message must have a "part" tag as well as identical values for the HOST, TIMESTAMP, APPNAME, SEVERITY fields and other TAG values. However, the sequence number of each message has to be incremented as usual.

Example of a multi-part message:

16: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.468 UTC:
%BACC-3-UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: %[pname.orig=rdu][part=16.1/3]: Null pointer
 exception
17: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.468 UTC: 
%BACC-3-UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: %[pname.orig=rdu][part=16.2/3]:   
com.cisco.Source:123
18: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.468 UTC:
%BACC-3-UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: %[pname.orig=rdu][part=16.3/3]:   
com.cisco.Main:1112

In this example, the first message has part number 1 and its sequence number, 16, embedded in the part tag. Subsequent messages embed the sequence number of the first message part and provide their own part number. The trailing "/3" in each part tag value means that the message consists of three parts.

CiscoLog Message Format

The CiscoLog message format follows:

All fields gets separated by a single colon character (ASCII decimal value 58) and a single space character (ASCII decimal value 32). The HEADER field is also preceded by a percent character (ASCII decimal value 37).

The TIMESTAMP, HEADER and TAGS fields have internal formatting. Below is a complete format with details for TIMESTAMP and HEADER fields:

<SEQNUM>: <HOST>: [ACCURACY]<MONTH> <DAY> <YEAR> <HOUR>:<MINUTES>:<SECONDS>.<MILLISECONDS> <TIMEZONE>: %<APPNAME>-<SEVERITY>-<MSGNAME>: [TAGS: ]<MESSAGE>

All fields except for ACCURACY and TAGS are required.

The following example shows a CiscoLog message:

11: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-5-CONFIG: Configured from 
console by vty0 [10.10.10.0]

The following example shows the optional TAGS and ACCURACY fields in a CiscoLog message:

12: host.cisco.com: *Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-4-BAD_REQUEST: 
%[pname.orig=rdu][comp=parser][mac=1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33][txn=mytxn123]: Bad request 
received from device [1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33]. Header missing.

The values of the specific fields in the above example are as follows:

SEQNUM – "12"
HOST – "host.cisco.com"
ACCURACY – "*"
MONTH - "Jun"
DAY – "13"
YEAR – "2003"
HOUR – "23"
MINUTES – "11"
SECONDS – "52"
MILLISECONDS – "454"
TIMEZONE – "UTC"
APPNAME – "BACC"
SEVERITY – "4"
MSGNAME – "BAD_REQUEST"
TAGS – "%[pname.orig=rdu][comp=parser][mac=1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33][txn=mytxn123]"
MESSAGE – "Bad request received from device [1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33]. Header missing."

Message Length Limit

The maximum length of a complete CiscoLog message must not exceed 800 octets.The term octet is used for 8-bit data type instead of byte because byte is not 8 bits on some platforms. The words "character" and "octet" are not synonyms in parts of this specification because in places were internationalization is supported a single character may need to be represented with multiple octets. This limit is dictated by RFC 3164. The limit of 1024 octets reserves some extra space for syslog forwarding headers and/or fields that may be formalized in later specifications.

When CiscoLog message includes the syslog PRI field, then the combined CiscoLog messages and PRI field length must not exceed 805 octets.

SEQNUM Field

The SEQNUM field contains a sequence number, which can be used to order messages in the time sequence order when multiple messages are produced with the same time stamp by the same process. The sequence number begins at 0 for the first message fired by a process since the last startup and is incremented by 1 for every subsequent logging message originated by the same process. Every time the application process is restarted, its sequence number is reset back to 0. The sequence number of each message must be in the exact order in which messages are fired/logged by the application.

This may mean that in a multi-threaded application there must be some kind of synchronization to ensure this and another consideration may have to be made for Java applications that have some native (C) code in JNI. If log messages originate in both native and Java parts of the same process, the implementation needs to be synchronized to use the same sequence number counter across the two process parts and to fire messages in the order of sequence numbers.

The maximum numeric value of the SEQNUM field is 4,294,967,295 at which point the counter must be reset back to 0. The maximum positive value of a 32-bit unsigned integer as used in Cisco IOS. Cisco IOS uses ulong for the sequence number counter and ulong is a 32-bit unsigned integer on all current Cisco IOS platforms including mips, ppc, and 68k.

Sequence numbers are process specific. If application architecture has multiple application processes on a single host, which share a single logging daemon, the sequence number still has to be process-specific. Thus, each process has it is own sequence number which it increments.

Sequence numbers also help detect lost messages. Therefore, sequence numbers cannot be skipped. In other words, a message must be produced for every number in the sequence order.

HOST Field

The HOST field identifies the system originating the message with a Fully Qualified DNS Name (FQDN), hostname or an IPv4/IPv6 address. If the FQDN or hostname is known, one of the two has to appear in the HOST field. It is expected that in most deployments the hostname is sufficient. However, if a deployment spans multiple domains, then using FQDNs is recommend. If an application is expected to be deployed in both scenarios, then it is recommended that the application default to the FQDNs, but make it a configurable option.

If neither FQDN nor hostname can be identified, then the IP address of the host must be used. If the IP address cannot be identified, then a constant "0.0.0.0" (without quotes) must appear in place of the HOST field.

Note

With regards to the compliance with Cisco IOS format. Cisco IOS Release 12.3 supports producing hostname, IP address, or any user-defined string in the HOST field. If it is configured to provide a hostname and it is not set on the device, it will use a string such as "Router."

The length of the HOST field must not exceed 255 octets.

FQDN and Hostname
IP Addresses

FQDN and Hostname

If multiple FQDNs or hostnames are known for a given system, applications must use the primary FQDN/hostname or an arbitrary one if no primary is designated. However, applications must use the same HOST field value until some relevant configuration change takes place. In other words, the FQDN/hostname value should not arbitrarily change from message to message if system is configured with multiple FQDNs/hostnames.

Only printable US ASCII characters (those with decimal values 32-126) and foreign language characters are allowed in the HOST field when encoding an FQDN or hostname. The appropriate character set and encoding for HOST should be compliant with RFC 1123 / STD-3.

The acceptable character set per these standards includes US ASCII letters, numbers, dash and dot separator characters (although not starting or ending with a dash). The reason that these are only recommendations of adhering to these standards is that, in practice, many hosts do not follow the convention and use characters such as underscore in the hostname. However, the HOST field cannot contain a character sequence of ": " (colon and space) as this sequence is used as a field delimiter in the CiscoLog format.

Foreign language characters outside of the printable US ASCII characters have to be encoded according to internationalization rules.

Use of non-printable (control) ASCII characters is not allowed in the HOST field. Control characters include characters with ASCII decimal values 0-31 and 127. If an application provides a CiscoLog-compliant library with a host string, which includes one or more control characters, the logging library must do the following. If the horizontal tab character (ASCII decimal value 9) is encountered, it must be replaced with one or more space characters (ASCII decimal value 32). Eight spaces per tab are recommended because this is a convention on most Unix and Windows platforms. Other control characters must each be replaced with a question mark character (ASCII decimal value 63).

While DNS is letter-case agnostic, CiscoLog places an additional recommendation of using only lower-case characters in the HOST field for ease of readability. The use of the trailing dot at the end of the FQDN is optional. The following examples are valid HOST fields:

host123
host-123
host123.cisco.com
host123.cisco.com.

IP Addresses

The IP address value used in the HOST field can be either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. If a device has multiple IP addresses, the primary IP address of the device must be used regardless of the interface through which the CiscoLog message is sent to syslog server. If no primary IP address is designated, a fixed/static IP address is preferred to a dynamically assigned one. If multiple static IP addresses exist, any one can be used, but it must be used consistently in all messages until a relevant configuration event occurs on the system.

IPv4 Address—IPv4 address should be represented in dot notation "x.x.x.x", where x is a decimal value from 0 to 255 encoded as ASCII text. If an IP address is unknown, "0.0.0.0" (without quotes) must be used as a place holder. Examples of valid IPv4 addresses are 0.0.0.0 and 212.1.122.11.

Below is an example of a message with an IPv4 address in the HOST field:
```
11: 212.1.122.11: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC:
%BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request received from device [1.2.3.4]. Missing header.
```
Below is an example of a CiscoLog message when FQDN, hostname or IP are all unknown:
```
11: 0.0.0.0: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC:
%BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request received from device [1.2.3.4]. Missing header.
```
IPv6 Address—IPv6 address representation must follow conventions outlined in RFC 3513, sections 2.2.1, 2.2.2 and 2.2.3. Specifically, all three conventions are supported. Both lower-case and upper-case letters can be used in the IPv6 address, but the lower-case letters are recommended. If an IP address is unknown, "0.0.0.0" (without quotes) should be used as the IP address. Examples of valid IPv6 addresses:
- 1080:0:0:800:ba98:3210:11aa:12dd (full notation)
- 1080::800:ba98:3210:11aa:12dd (use of "::" convention)
- 0:0:0:0:0:0:13.1.68.3 (last 4 octets expanded as in IPv4)
- 0.0.0.0 (unknown FQDN, hostname and IP address )

Below is an example of a message with an IPv6 address in the HOST field:

11: 1080:0:0:800:ba98:3210:11aa:12dd: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC:
%BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST:  Bad request received from device [1.2.3.4]. Missing header.

TIMESTAMP Field

The TIMESTAMP field provides date with year, time with milliseconds and a time zone identifier in the following format:

[ACCURACY]<MONTH> <DAY> <YEAR> <HOUR>:<MINUTES>:<SECONDS>.<MILLISECONDS> <TIMEZONE>

Below are several examples of valid time stamps:

Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTCJun  3 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC
Jun 22 2003 05:11:52.525 -0300
*Feb 14 2003 01:02:03.005 EST

In some cases, it is possible that a device may not have the knowledge of the date and/or time due to hardware or software limitations. In such circumstances, the following string must be produced TIMESTAMP field: "--- 00 0000 00:00:00.000 ---". Below is an example of a CiscoLog message from a device which has no knowledge of date and/or time:

11: host.domain.com: --- 00 0000 00:00:00.000 ---: %BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request received from device [1.2.3.4]. Missing header.

Devices which are not aware of their clock, may choose to provide an uptime as a relative measure of time. If device is capable of providing uptime, it is recommended that does so as a substitute for unavailable time stamp. If uptime is provided it must be provided with a standard uptime tag as outlined in the CiscoLog Standard Tags specification.

The following table details each field specification.

Table 1 TIMESTAMP Field Specifications
Field	Specification
ACCURACY	This is an optional field. If present, it must be either a single asterisk character (ASCII decimal value 42), or a single dot character (ASCII decimal value 46). No separator character is used after this field. This field indicates the status of clock synchronization. Cisco IOS uses a special convention for time prefixes to indicate the accuracy of the time stamp. If dot character appears before the date, it means that the local time was synchronized at some point via NTP, but currently no NTP servers are available. The asterisk character in front of the date means that the local time is not authoritative, i.e. NTP servers are not setup.
ACCURACY	CiscoLog supports the use of this convention, but does not require it. If an application is integrated with NTP client software, and knows that its time is out of sync, then it can optionally prefix the message with asterisk character. However, because applications may choose not to use this scheme, the lack of "." or "*" in CiscoLog messages should not be interpreted to mean that the local time is synchronized.
MONTH	Must be one of the following three-character month designations followed by a single space (ASCII decimal value 32) as a delimiter character: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Sep, Oct, Nov or Dec.
DAY	Must consist of two characters. If day is a single digit, it must be prefixed with a single space character. The acceptable range of values is from 1 to 31. The day value must be followed by a single space as a delimiter character.
YEAR	Must consist of exactly 4 digit characters followed by a space as a delimiter character.
HOUR	Must consist of exactly two number characters. The hour value is based on a 24-hour clock. Values range from 00 to 23. If hour value is a single digit, it must be prefixed with a single zero character. The hour value must be followed by a single colon as a delimiter character.
MINUTES	Must consist of exactly two number characters. Values range from 00 to 59. If minute value is a single digit, it must be prefixed with a single zero character. The minutes value must be followed by a single colon as a delimiter character
SECONDS	Must consist of exactly two number characters. Values range from 00 to 59. If seconds value is a single digit, it must be prefixed with a single zero character. The seconds value must be followed by a period as a delimiter character.
MILLISECONDS	Must consist of exactly 3 digit characters. Values range from 000 to 999. If milliseconds value is less then 3 digits in length it must be prefixed with extra zeros to make it a 3-character field. The milliseconds value is followed by a space as a delimiter character.
TIMEZONE	Must consist of at least one, but no more than 7 characters in the following ASCII decimal value range: 32-126. The value must not include a combination of colon-space-percent of characters – ": %" (ASCII decimal values 58, 32, 37) – as this character combination is reserved as a field delimiter that follows the time stamp. There is no standard set of acronyms for time zones¹. A list of common time zone acronyms and corresponding time offsets from UTC is provided in the UTC specification. Uppercase letters are recommended for time zone acronym values. CiscoLog recommends the use of time offset instead of time zone identifier in this field. The offset, if provided, must follow the following format "-hhmm" or "+hhmm" to indicate hour and minute offset from UTC. In this format time zone field must always contain 5 characters, with the last 4 characters being constrained to numbers only. Unlike a textual time zone identifier, this format provides a specific time offset from universal standard time. Cisco IOS Release 12.3 supports any 7-character string as a time zone identifier, so it can be configured in a way which is compatible with this recommendation. Multiple messages may and sometimes must be produced with exactly the same time stamp. This can happen naturally on a non-preemptive operating system or may need to be deliberately induced as in the case of multi-part messages. Sequence numbers then become helpful for establishing message order. Time stamp should always be accurate to the millisecond unless it can significantly hinder performance of the application. In either case, applications must always provide the administrator with an option to output messages with exact time stamp in milliseconds. If an application uses time stamp with accuracy to the second (instead of a millisecond), it must put the last known milliseconds value or 000 in place of the milliseconds. Whatever convention is chosen by the application, it should be followed consistently.

HEADER Field

The HEADER field has the following format:

A single dash character (ASCII decimal value 45) serves a separator for the three fields.

APPNAME Field
SEVERITY Field
MSGNAME Field

APPNAME Field

The APPNAME field in the HEADER defines the name of the application producing the message. Cisco IOS uses FACILITY in place of APPNAME that names the logical component producing the message. Cisco IOS 12.3 defines approximately 287 facilities for 3950 messages. Example of some easily recognizable facilities: AAAA, SYS, ATM, BGP, CRYPTO, ETHERNET, FTPSERVER, CONFIG_I, IP, ISDN, RADIUS, SNMP, SYS, TCP, UBR7200, X25. A complete list of defined facilities is available in Cisco IOS documentation at http://.

Outside of the Cisco IOS, there can be multiple applications on the same host originating log messages. Therefore, it is necessary that APPNAME field identify the specific application. Additional source identifiers are available in the HOST field as well as various standard TAGS field values (pname, pid, comp, etc).

The APPNAME field must consist of at least two uppercase letters or digits and may include underscore characters. More precisely, the acceptable character set is limited to characters with the following ASCII decimal values: 48-57 (numbers), 65-90 (upper-case letters) and 95 (underscore).

The length of the APPNAME field must not exceed 24 characters.

Application names cannot conflict with other Cisco software applications and with Cisco IOS facilities.

On the Solaris platform, it is recommended (not required) that the application name values used in the APPNAME field be consistent with those used for the application installation package name, only in upper case and without the CSCO prefix. For example, an application registering as "CSCObacc" on Solaris should use "BACC" as the value of the APPNAME field.

Some applications may choose to specify a version as part of the APPNAME field. This is acceptable and may be useful in cases where the meaning of certain messages is redefined from one release to another. For example, an APPNAME value could be "BACC_2_5" for BACC version 2.5. The use the version within an application name is optional and may be introduced by applications in any release.

SEVERITY Field

The SEVERITY field is a numeric value from 0 to 7, providing eight different severities. The severities defined below match Cisco IOS severity levels. They are also standard syslog severities.

It is important that messages use the correct severity. An error in a certain component may be severe as far as the component is concerned, but if the overall application handles it gracefully, then the severity may be lower for the application as a whole. The following table lists guidelines that should be followed in determining the severity of a message.

Table 2 Name and Severity Level and Descriptions in Error Messages
Name/Severity Level	Description
Emergency (0)	System or service is unusable. Examples: Service repeatedly fails to startup System ran out of disk space while disk space is essential for this system to operate Application requires root privileges to run but does not have them
Alert (1)	Action must be taken immediately. Examples: Application is about to run out of licenses Application is about to run out of disk space Too many unauthorized access attempts detected Denial of service attack is detected
Critical (2)	Critical condition. Similar to alert, but not necessarily requiring an immediate action. Examples: Received an invalid authentication request Service crashed due to an error that could not be handled, like an out of memory condition, (provided it has a watchdog process to restart it, it does not necessarily require immediate action) Unexpected code error that could not be handled
Error (3)	An error condition, which does not necessarily impact the ability of the service to continue to function. Examples: Problem parsing/processing a particular request which does not prevent the application from handling other requests Unexpected, but handled code exception
Warning (4)	A warning about some bad condition, which is not necessarily an error. Examples: Lost network connection to some resource Timed out waiting for a response
Notice (5)	Notifications about system-level conditions, which are not error conditions. Examples: Configuration was updated (not audit level information) Process has started Process is shutting down gracefully on request
Informational (6)	Informational messages are distinguished from notification in that they provide information for internal flows of the application or per-request information instead of system-wide notifications. Informational messages are used for troubleshooting by users who are familiar with the basic flows of the application. Examples: Request received Request was parsed successfully Request being processed Response sent back Acknowledgement received Detailed audit information
Debug (7)	Debugging messages are similar to informational messages, but provide more detail and require the user to have better knowledge of system internal processing. These messages are typically reserved for very advanced users or Cisco technical support. Examples: Complete details for a request packet Internal state machine state changes Internal profiling statistics Internal events

If an application uses a default severity level to determine which messages should be logged, then it is recommended that this level be set at 5 (notice). This ensures that all messages of severity 5 or higher are logged by default.

MSGNAME Field

The MSGNAME field of the HEADER uniquely identifies the message within the context of a given APPNAME. A fixed severity and logical meaning is associated with a specific MSGNAME within a specific APPNAME. In other words, the same message name cannot appear with different severity or a completely different logical meaning for the same APPNAME value even if the message is originated by a different process.

Message names are only unique within a given application (a given APPNAME value) unless the message is one of the standard messages. Thus, applications interpreting CiscoLog messages should be careful not to assume that a message with a given name has the same meaning for all applications that may use this message name. Indeed, if the message is not one of the standard messages, it may have a different severity and meaning in a different application.

The MSGNAME field must consist of at least two characters. Acceptable characters are limited to the following ASCII decimal values: 48-57 (numbers), 65-90 (upper-case letters) and 95 (underscore). While IOS allows lower-case letters as well, the vast majority of IOS messages use only the upper-case letters. In order to be consistent with established conventions we opted to restrict the character set to upper-case letters, numbers and underscore characters.

Both numeric-only or alphanumeric message names are acceptable. However, per IOS convention, it is recommended that a user-friendly alphanumeric label be preferred to a numeric-only label. For example, "NO_MEMORY" message name is preferred to a "341234" identifier.

A special tag mid is defined in the CiscoLog Standard Tags specification for identifying a numeric id corresponding to a message name. This tag can be used to provide a numeric message is in addition to the MSGNAME. When this tag is used, a given MSGNAME must always correspond to a single message id value. CiscoLog defines mid tag values for each standard message.

The length of the MSGNAME field must not exceed 30 characters, but most message names should be more concise. MSGNAME value may not conflict with the names defined in this standard.

A separate message name must be defined for each logically different message. In other words, while the message text for a given message name can vary by virtue of some substitutable parameters, logically different messages must have different message names.

The following is an example of correct use of message name:

11: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-4-CONNECTION_LOST: %[pname.orig=rdu]: Server lost connection to host [1.1.1.1]12: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.458 UTC: %BACC-4-CONNECTION_LOST: %[pname.orig=rdu]: Server lost connection to host [2.2.2.2

Notice that while the IP address of the host changes, it is still logically the same type of message. The following is an example of an INCORRECT use of the message name:

15: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.458 UTC: %BACC-4-CONNECTION: %[pname.orig=rdu]: Server lost connection to host [2.2.2.2]16: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.468 UTC: %BACC-4-CONNECTION: %[pname.orig=rdu]: Server re-established connection to host [2.2.2.2]

The use of a single message name for two different events in the above example is wrong and unacceptable. This is referred to as a "catch-all" message name and they must be avoided. Another extreme example is defining a message named "ERROR" and providing all error log messages under the same message name. This defeats the purpose of having the message name field, which is to enable external filtering of messages or easily trigger actions.

The only exception to the "no-catch-all" rule is when message cannot be identified ahead of time with anything better than a generic description or the users will not benefit from distinguishing the various subtypes of the message.

Although some applications may choose to do so, there is generally no need to define a separate message name for all debugging messages because debugging messages are not intended for automated filtering and action triggering based on message name. The sheer number of debugging messages and the highly dynamic nature of what is produced in them makes it very hard to define separate messages.

This specification proposes establishing a mailing list that could be used by groups for consulting purposes when in doubt about how to define certain messages. Currently, the mailing list alias used for this purpose is "cmn-logging".

TAGS Field

The TAGS field is optional in the message format. It provides a standard mechanism for applications to provide structured content in the form of key-value pairs which can be used to categorize or filter a set of messages externally.

Tags can be used to identify virtual logging channels. A set of messages flagged with the same tag can later be grouped together. For example, an application may flag messages belonging to a particular thread by supplying the corresponding tag. This would then allow filtering and viewing messages based on threads.

Virtual logging channels can also be established across multiple applications. For example, if all applications could tag requests from a device with device id (mac, ip, etc), then it would be easy to filter all messages related to that device even thought it communicates with multiple components.

Each application may define its own set of supported tags. A single tag consists of key and value pair separated by the equals sign and surrounded by square bracket characters as in the following format: [KEY=VALUE]. This is an example of a valid tag key-value pair [ip=123.23.22.22].

The TAGS field is prefixed with a percent character (ASCII decimal value 37) and ends with a sequence of colon and space characters (ASCII decimal values 58 and 32). When multiple tags are assembled together, no characters should appear between the tags as separators. The following example has a complete CiscoLog message with four tags:

12: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-4-BAD_REQUEST:  %[pname.orig=rdu][comp=parser][mac=1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33][txn=mytxn123]: Bad request received from device [1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33]. Missing header.

If TAGS field is missing, the percent character prefix and the trailing colon and space must be omitted. Thus, when the TAGS field is missing, the HEADER and MESSAGE fields must be separated by just a single colon and a space which follows the HEADER field. For example:

12: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-4-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request received from device [1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33]. Missing header.

Multiple tags with the same tag key can be provided in the same message. This essentially provides the capability for handling multi-valued keys. Below is an example of a message produced from a device which has two IP addresses where the application chose to provide both IP addresses in the TAGS field as well as the process name:

12: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-4-BAD_REQUEST:  %[pname.orig=rdu][ip.orig=1.1.1.1][ip.orig=1.1.1.2]: Bad request received from device [1,6,aa:bb:cc:11:22:33]. Missing header.

Any number of tags can be provided in a given message. The only limit is the overall length limit of the CiscoLog message of 800 octets.

If multiple tags are present, it is recommended that they appear in the alphanumeric order of the keys. This insures that tags are always produced in the same order. However, a different order may be chosen by an application if the order of tags is used to communicate some semantic value.

Tag Keys
Tag Semantic Extensions
Tag Values
Tag Guidelines
Process Identification Tag

Tag Keys

Tag key must contain at least one character. The characters are limited to ASCII characters with decimal values 48-57 (numbers), 65-90 (upper-case letters), 95 (underscore), 97-122 (lower case letters). Use of lower-case letters is recommended. There is no strict limit on tag key length, although a general message limit of 800 octets applies and dictates that one should attempt to define short tag key names.

Tag Semantic Extensions

In some cases, a tag can have a standard value syntax, but different meaning depending on the content in which it is used. Tag semantic extensions are used to differentiate the contextual meaning of tags.

The semantic extension tags are created by appending the tag key with a single dot character (ASCII decimal value 46) and a text string consisting of characters from a proper character set.

For example, an "ip" tag defines syntax for an IP address representation, but no semantic value. An "ip" tag found in a CiscoLog message generally means only that this IP address is somehow related to the message. In some cases, such vague association is sufficient. However, sometimes, communicating semantic value could be useful.

A message may have two IP address tags associated with it, for example, from and to IP addresses. In this case, using tags "ip.from" and "ip.to" would communicate both the syntax of the tags and some semantic value. Another example, is a standard tag "ip.orig", which specifies the IP address of the host which originated the message. The following is an example of all three tags appearing together:

[ip.from=1.1.1.1][ip.to=2.2.2.2][ip.orig=123.12.111.1]

Multiple levels of semantic extension tags are allowed with each extension providing meaning that is more specific. For example, tag key "ip.to.primary" is valid and could mean the primary IP address of the destination host.

The semantic value is much harder to standardize than the syntax because there can an infinite number of meanings for a given value depending on the context. Thus, it is anticipated that defining tag semantics extensions will be largely application specific.

Tag Values

Tag values may contain zero or more characters. The empty (zero characters) value is interpreted as unknown or undetermined value. The value must only include printable US ASCII characters (those in the ASCII decimal value range 32-126) and foreign language characters

There is a restriction on the use of three characters: "["," ]" and "\". The bracket characters (ASCII decimal values 91 & 93) must be escaped with a back slash character (ASCII decimal value 92) . This helps to avoid confusion with the brackets that signify the start/end of the tag. Thus, when the tag value needs to represent characters "[" or "]", a sequence of "\[" or "\]" is used instead respectively. When the escape character itself needs to be represented in the tag value, then instead of the "\" character a sequence of "\\" is used.

Use of non-printable (control) ASCII characters is not allowed in the TAG value field. Control characters include characters with ASCII decimal values 0-31 and 127. If application provides to a CiscoLog-compliant library a tag value string, which includes one or more control characters, the logging library must do the following. If the horizontal tab character (ASCII decimal value 9) is encountered, it must be replaced with one or more space characters (ASCII decimal value 32). Eight spaces per tab are recommended because this is a convention on most Unix and Windows platforms. Other control characters must each be replaced with a question mark character (ASCII decimal value 63). Technically, we only need to require escaping a closing bracket. However, requiring escaping both open and closing brackets simplifies parser code and provides for a more consistent display in raw form.

There is no strict limit on tag value length; although a general message length limit of 800 octets applies and dictates that one must be conservative.

Tag Guidelines

The TAGS field is optional in the CiscoLog message format. Tags do not replace substitutable parameters in the message body. Tags merely provide an additional way to identify and categorize messages.

Since tags are optional, they can be enabled or disabled by the application/user as required. There is no requirement for the same message to always be produced with the same set of tags. If the application supports a given tag, it does not necessarily mean that it must always produce it. This can be configurable. Indeed, it is recommended that applications provide the administrator with at least limited control over which tags get produces.

Application developers have a choice as to what information to make available in the tags and what in the message body. In some cases, the information may be duplicated between the two. This is acceptable.

The general guideline is to put all required information in the message body and make appropriate information available via tags. In other words, the message should provide sufficient meaning even when all tags are disabled. Tags merely provide additional useful information and a way to present it in a standard, easily filtered, form.

The following are two valid examples of a message where both the message and the message tags contain a MAC address. Example with tags disabled:

11: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST: Bad request received from device [1,6,aa:bb:11:22:33:aa]. Missing header.

In the above example, the MAC address appears as part of the message field – it is not a tag. In the following example, the tags are enabled. Even though MAC address is duplicated between the tag and the message, it is acceptable.

11: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-3-BAD_REQUEST:  %[mac=1,6,aa:bb:11:22:33:aa][tid=thread1][txn=mytxn123]: Bad request received from device [1,6,aa:bb:11:22:33:aa]. Missing header.

Process Identification Tag

One of the standard tags, pname.orig, is used to identify the logical process name which originates the message. Any application that seeks to provide originating process information must do so using the "pname.orig" tag.

This tag is extremely valuable in addition to information in the APPNAME field because some applications consist of multiple processes, each of which may originate logging messages. It is recommended that any application which consists of multiple processes always provide the "pname.orig" tag.

MESSAGE Field

The MESSAGE field provides a descriptive message about the logging event. This field may consist of one or more characters. The character set is limited to printable US ASCII characters (ASCII decimal values 32-126) and foreign language characters.

Use of non-printable (control) ASCII characters is not permitted in the MESSAGE field. Control characters include characters with ASCII decimal values 0-31 and 127. If application provides a CiscoLog-compliant library with message string, which includes one or more control characters, the logging library must do the following. If the horizontal tab character (ASCII decimal value 9) is encountered, it must be replaced with one or more space characters (ASCII decimal value 32). Eight spaces per tab are recommended because this is a convention on most Unix and Windows platforms. Other control characters must each be replaced with a question mark character (ASCII decimal value 63).

The maximum length of the MESSAGE field is constrained only by the maximum length of the entire message. The maximum length of the CiscoLog message must not exceed 800 octets. Another practical limitation is a potentially highly variable length of the TAGS field.

Message text may contain substitutable parameters, which provide necessary details about the message. For example, the IP address in the following example is a substitutable parameter.

11: host.cisco.com: Jun 13 2003 23:11:52.454 UTC: %BACC-3-INVALID_REQUEST: Invalid request received from device [1.22.111.222]. Missing header.

It is recommended (but not required) that substitutable parameters be surrounded by bracket characters "[" and "]" as in the above example. It is further recommended that the message text and values of substitutable parameters do not include bracket characters. When it is not possible to avoid brackets characters in the values of substitutable parameters, it is recommended that the value at least does not include unbalances brackets (like an opening bracket without a closing one). When these recommendations are followed, it would be possible to programmatically extract substitutable parameter values out of a CiscoLog message. However, this recommendation is not a strict requirement.

Message text should be spell-checked. Editorial review is recommended. This includes all messages that can be seen by the customers, even debugging messages.

If the first word of the message is an English word, the first letter should be capitalized. Single sentence messages do not require a period at the end.

Internationalization

Foreign language characters are defined as characters with ASCII decimal values 0-126. Foreign language characters are supported in the HOST field, the value part of the TAGS field and the MESSAGE field.

Foreign language characters must be encoded using the Unicode standard UTF-8. UTF-8 provides encoding for any language without requiring the application to know local encoding/decoding rules for a particular language. In fact, the application encoding the message does not even need to know the language of the message. UTF-8 can encode any Unicode character.

UTF-8 encodes US ASCII characters exactly as they would normally be encoded in a 7-bit ASCII convention. This means that applications interpreting CiscoLog messages can assume that entire messages are encoded in UTF-8. On the other hand, applications producing CiscoLog messages can encode the entire message using US-ASCII 7-bit convention if they are known not to support foreign languages in their products.

Since UTF-8 can encode characters in any language, it is possible to mix and match languages. For example, it is anticipated that a one use-case would be the inclusion of just some parameters in foreign language in an otherwise English message. For example, an English message about user authentication could have a username in Japanese. Similarly, any number of languages can be combined in a CiscoLog message.

In order to take advantage of messages, which include a foreign language, a log viewer capable of interpreting UTF-8 would be necessary. Most likely, the log viewer would also require that the appropriate language fonts be installed on a given system. In a US-ASCII only editor, the user will see garbage for non-US-ASCII characters encoded in UTF-8, but should be able to see all US-ASCII text.

Internationalization support can be readily used with CiscoLog messages written to a local file. Syslog RFC 3164, however, does not currently define foreign language support. Thus, in order to take advantage of internationalization with a syslog server, one would need to use a server implementation, which was tested to correctly relay or store all 8-bits of each octet unchanged. This would ensure that UTF-8 encoded parts of the message retain all their information when foreign languages are used.

In UTF-8, a single character is encoded with one or more octets. The CiscoLog message length limit is specified as 800 octets. Developers must be aware that with foreign languages, the 800-octet length limit may mean fewer than 800 characters. When a message is split into a multi-part message, octets belonging to a single character must never be split into separate lines.

Versioning

CiscoLog does not provide any versioning information in the message format. Extensions to the format must be made within the restrictions of the format. CiscoLog message formats provides for extensions by way of defining additional tags.

If applications require changes to existing messages, the value of APPNAME can redefine message within the new space. For example, the application version can be appended to the application name as BACC_2_5 for BACC 2.5.

IMEOverQuota

This alert indicates that the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers that use this Cisco IME service have exceed the quota for published direct inward dialing numbers (DIDs) to the IME distributed cache. The alert includes the name of the Cisco IME server as well as the current and target quota values.

Ensure that you have correctly provisioned the DID prefixes on all of the Cisco Unified Communications Manager servers that use this Cisco IME service.

If you have provisioned the prefixes correctly, you have exceeded the capacity of your Cisco IME service, and you need to configure another service and divide the DID prefixes across the Cisco IME client instances (Cisco Unified Communications Managers) on different Cisco IME services.

IMEQualityAlert

This alert gets generated when Cisco Unified Communications Manager determines that a substantial number of Cisco IME calls fail back to PSTN or fail to be set up due to IP network quality problems. Two types of events trigger this alert:

A large number of the currently active Cisco IME calls have all requested fallback or have fallen back to the PSTN.

A large number of the recent call attempts have gone to the PSTN and not been made over IP.

When you receive this alert, check your IP connectivity. If no problems exist with the IP connectivity, you may need to review the CDRs, CMRs, and logs from the firewalls to determine why calls have fallen back to the PSTN or have not been made over IP.

InsufficientFallbackIdentifiers

This alert gets generated when too many Cisco IME calls that are currently in progress use the same fallback DID and no more DTMF digit sequences exist to allocate to a new Cisco IME call that Cisco Unified Communications Manager is processing. The new call continues, but the call cannot fallback to the PSTN if voice-quality deteriorates.

If this alert gets generated, note the fallback profile that associates with this call. Check that profile in Cisco Unified CM Administration, and examine the current setting for the "Fallback Number of Correlation DTMF Digits" field. Increase the value of that field by one, and check whether the new value eliminates these alerts. In general, this parameter should be large enough so that the number of simultaneous Cisco IME calls that are made to enrolled numbers that associate with that profile is always substantially less than 10 raised to the power of this number. For example, if you always have fewer than 10,000 simultaneous Cisco IME calls for the patterns that associate with this fallback profile, setting this value to 5 (10 to the power of 5 equals 100,000) should keep Cisco Unified Communications Manager from generating this alert.

However, increasing this value results in a small increase in the amount of time it takes to perform the fallback. As such, you should set the "Fallback Number of Correlation DTMF Digits" field to a value just large enough to prevent this alert from getting generated.

Instead of increasing the value of the DTMF digits field, you can add another fallback profile with a different fallback DID and associate that fallback profile with a smaller number of enrolled patterns. If you use this method, you can use a smaller number of digits.

Critical-Level Alarms

The critical-level alarm equals 2 and action may need to be taken immediately; auto-recovery is expected, but monitor the condition.

This alarm acts similar to the alert-level alarm but not necessarily requiring an immediate action. A system-affecting service had a failure but recovered without intervention. Examples follow:

Service crashed due to an error that could not be handled but a watchdog process exists that will restart the service. The crash does not necessarily require immediate action. Examples are:
- Out of memory conditions
- Uninitialized variables
- Memory scribblers
Unexpected code error occurred that could not be handled but for which the system automatically restarts.

BChannelOOS

The B-channel is out of service. The B-channel indicated by this alarm has gone out of service. Some of the more common reasons for a B-channel to go out of service include are as follows:

Taking the channel out of service intentionally to perform maintenance on either the near- or far-end
MGCP gateway returns an error code 501 or 510 for a MGCP command sent from Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Cisco Unified CM)
MGCP gateway does not respond to an MGCP command sent by Cisco Unified CM three times

CertExpiryCritical

Certificate is about to expire in less than 7 days. Regenerate or reimport certificate. Name of the service generating this alarm is Cisco Certificate Expiry Monitor. The alarms are generated when any certificate generated by the system or uploaded into the system expires. Cisco Unified CM uses certificates for Tomcat (Web Server), CallManager, IPSEc and Directory. Refer Security guide for more details on various certificates. When a certificate generated by Cisco Unified CM, the default validity of the self-signed certificate is for 5 years. In case of Certificates signed by a CA, the validity is dependent on the Expiry date set by CA while issuing the certificate. Once a certificate is about to expire "Cisco Certificate Expiry Monitor" service generates alarms. The severity of the alarm is dependent on how much time is left for the certificate to expire.

The impact to system operation depends on the which certificate expired. This information is contained in the alarm. If Tomcat certificate expired, while connecting to Cisco Unified CM web pages, browser will throw an error stating certificate has expired. One can still ignore the warning and continue to connect to Cisco Unified CM pages.

In case of Directory-trust, if Directory trust certificate uploaded to Cisco Unified CM expires, Cisco Unified CM may not be able to establish SSL connection with external LDAP server. The overall impact is that SSL connection between Cisco Unified CM and other external Servers will fail.

ErrorChangeNotifyClientBlock

A change notification client is busy (blocked). If the change notification client continues to be blocked for 10 minutes, the system automatically clears the block and change notification should resume successfully. Changes made to the database are not being consumed by one of the recipients. This does not always represent an issue. However, if the change notification client continues to be blocked for 10 minutes, the system automatically clears the block for all clients except the blocked one, which means that change notifications should resume successfully for all other clients. To clear the blocked client, you must restart the server.

CARSchedulerJobFailed

Critical CAR scheduled job failed. The jobs are PopulateSchedules, DailyCdrLoad, TaskMonitor, or DatabaseMaintenance. The particular CAR scheduler job that failed cannot be run properly. This can cause significant impact on CAR functions.

If PopulateSchedules job fails, CAR scheduler cannot schedule jobs to run for the day; this would result some/all of CAR scheduler jobs cannot start.
If DailyCdrLoad job fails, CAR loader would not be able to load CDR/CMR records from CDR/CMR flat files into CAR database; this would result records found upon running CAR reports, and causes accumulation of CDR/CMR flat files unprocessed.
If TaskMonitor job fails, CAR scheduler will not be able to perform the daily DB IDS memory clean up task; this would result higher DB shared memory usage.
If DatabaseMaintenance job fails, CAR scheduler will not be able to perform the daily optimized database maintenance Update statistics procedures; this would result CAR database not optimized for its operations.

Name of the service generating this alarm is CAR Scheduler service.

The CCD requesting service detected that it can no longer reach the learned patterns through IP. All learned patterns from this forward will be marked as unreachable (via IP) and to allow calls to learned patterns to continue to be routed until IP becomes reachable again, all calls to learned patterns will be routed through the PSTN. Calls can be routed through the PSTN for a certain period of time before PSTN failover times out.

CCDPSTNFailOverDurationTimeOut

The internal limit on PSTN failover has expired.

When learned patterns are not reachable through IP, Unified CM routes calls through the PSTN instead. Calls can be routed through PSTN for an internally-controlled duration. When this alarm occurs, the PSTN failover duration has expired and calls to learned patterns cannot be routed. All learned patterns will be purged from Unified CM.

Reason Code Enum Definitions for EndPointTransientConnection

Value	Definition
1	Unknown—(SCCP only) The device failed to register for an unknown reason. If this persists, collect SDL/SDI traces with "Enable SCCP Keep Alive Trace" enabled and contact TAC.
2	NoEntryInDatabase—(MGCP only) The device is not configured in the Cisco Unified CM database and auto-registration is either not supported for the device type or is not enabled. To correct this problem, configure this device via Cisco Unified CM Administration.
3	DatabaseConfigurationError—The device is not configured in the Cisco Unified CM database and auto-registration is either not supported for the device type or is not enabled. To correct this problem, configure this device via Cisco Unified CM Administration.
4	DeviceNameUnresolveable—For SIP third-party devices, this reason code means that Cisco Unified CM could not determine the name of the device from the Authorization header in the REGISTER message. The device did not provide an Authorization header after Cisco Unified CM challenged with a 401 Unauthorized message. Verify the device is configured with digest credentials and is able to respond to 401 challenges with an Authorization header. If this is a Cisco IP phone, the configuration may be out-of-sync. First go to the Cisco Unified Reporting web page, generate a Unified CM Database Status report, and verify "all servers have a good replication status". If DB replications looks good, reset the phone. If that still doesn't fix the problem, restart the TFTP and the Cisco CallManager services. For all other devices, this reason code means that DNS lookup failed. Verify the DNS server configured via the OS Administration CLI is correct and that the DNS name used by the device is configured in the DNS server.
5	maxDevRegExceeded—Maximum number of device registrations have been reached.
6	ConnectivityError - The network connection between the device and Cisco Unified CM dropped before the device was fully registered. Possible causes include device power outage, network power outage, network configuration error, network delay, packet drops and packet corruption. It is also possible to get this error if the Cisco Unified CM node is experiencing high CPU usage. Verify the device is powered up and operating, verify network connectivity between the device and Cisco Unified CM, and verify the CPU utilization is in the safe range (this can be monitored using RTMT via CPU Pegging Alert).
7	InitializationError—An internal error occurred within Cisco Unified CM while processing the device registration. It is recommended to restart the Cisco CallManager service. If this occurs repeatedly, collect SDL/SDI detailed traces with "Enable SIP Keep Alive (REGISTER Refresh) Trace" and "Enable SCCP Keep Alive Trace" under Cisco CallManager services turned on and contact TAC.
8	DeviceInitiatedReset—Indicates that the error was due to device initiated reset.
9	CallManagerReset—Indicates that the error was due to call manager reset.
10	AuthenticationError—The device failed either TLS or SIP digest security authentication. If the device is a SIP phone and is enabled for digest authentication (on the System > Security Profile > Phone Security Profile, check if "Enable Digest Authentication" checkbox is checked), verify the "Digest Credentials" in the End User config page are configured. Also, check the phone config page to see if the phone is associated with the specified end user in the Digest User drop box. If the device is a third-party SIP device, verify the digest credentials configured on the phone match the "Digest Credentials" configured in the End User page.
11	InvalidX509NameInCertificate—Configured "X.509 Subject Name" doesn't match what is in the certificate from the device. Check the Security Profile of the indicated device and verify the "Device Security Mode" is either "Authenticated" or "Encrypted". Verify the "X.509 Subject Name" field has the right content. It should match the Subject Name in the certificate from the peer.
12	InvalidTLSCipher—Unsupported cipher algorithm used by the device; Cisco Unified CM only supports AES_128_SHA cipher algorithm. Recommended action is for the device to regenerate its certificate with the AES_128_SHA cipher algorithm.
13	DirectoryNumberMismatch—Indicates mismatch between the directory number that the SIP device is trying to register with and the directory number configured in the Cisco Unified CM for the SIP device.
14	MalformedRegisterMsg—(SIP only) A SIP REGISTER message could not be processed because of an illegal format. Possible causes include a missing Call-ID header, a missing AoR in the To header, and an expires value too small. Verify the REGISTER message does not suffer from any of these ills.
15	ProtocolMismatch—The protocol of the device (SIP or SCCP) does not match the configured protocol in Cisco Unified CM. Recommended actions: Verify the device is configured with the desired protocol. Verify the firmware load ID on the Device Defaults page is correct and actually exists on the TFTP server If there is a firmware load ID configured on the device page, verify it is correct and exists on the TFTP server (On Cisco Unified OS Administration page, Software Upgrades > TFTP File Management, look for the file name as specified by load ID). Restart the TFTP and Cisco CallManager services. Use the Cisco Unified OS Administration TFTP File Management page to verify the configured firmware loads exist.
16	DeviceNotActive—The device has not been activated.
17	AuthenticatedDeviceAlreadyExists—A device with the same name is already registered. If this occurs repeatedly, collect SDL/SDI detailed traces with "Enable SIP Keep Alive (REGISTER Refresh) Trace" and "Enable SCCP Keep Alive Trace" under Cisco CallManager services turned on and contact TAC. There may be an attempt by unauthorized devices to register.
18	ObsoleteProtocolVersion—(SCCP only) A SCCP device registered with an obsolete protocol version. Power cycle the phone. Verify that the TFTP service is activated. Verify that the TFTP server is reachable from the device. If there is a firmware load ID configured on the Phone Config page, verify that the firmware load ID exists on the TFTP server (On Cisco Unified OS Administration page, Software Upgrades > TFTP File Management, look for the file name as specified by load ID).
23	DatabaseTimeout—Cisco Unified CM requested device configuration data from the database but did not receive a response within 10 minutes.
25	RegistrationSequenceError—(SCCP only) A device requested configuration information from the Cisco Unified CM at an unexpected time. The Cisco Unified CM had not yet obtained the requested information.
26	InvalidCapabilities— (SCCP only) Cisco Unified CM detected an error in the media capabilities reported by the device during registration. The device reported the capabilities in the StationCapabilitiesRes message.
27	CapabilityResponseTimeout— (SCCP only) Cisco Unified CM timed out while waiting for the device to respond to a request to report its media capabilities.
28	SecurityMismatch—Cisco Unified CM detected a mismatch in the security settings of the device and/or the Unified CM. The following mismatches are detected: The device established a secure connection, yet reported that it does not have the ability to do authenticated signaling. The device did not establish a secure connection, but the security mode configured for the device indicates that it should have done so. The device established a secure connection, but the security mode configured for the device indicates that it should not have done so.
29	AutoRegisterDBError—(SCCP only) Auto-registration of a device failed for one of the following reasons: Auto-registration is not allowed for the device type. An error occurred in the auto-registration stored procedure.
30	DBAccessError—(SCCP only) Auto-registration of a device failed because of an error that occurred while building the station registration profile.
31	AutoRegisterDBConfigTimeout—(SCCP only) Cisco Unified CM timed out during auto-registration of a device. The registration profile of the device did not get inserted into the database in time.
32	DeviceTypeMismatch—(SCCP only) The device type reported by the device does not match the device type configured on the Cisco Unified CM.
33	AddressingModeMismatch—(SCCP only) Cisco Unified CM detected an error related to the addressing mode configured for the device. One of the following errors was detected: The device is configured to use only IPv4 addressing, but did not specify an IPv4 address. The device is configured to use only IPv6 addressing, but did not specify an IPv6 address.

EndPointUnregistered

An endpoint that has previously registered with Cisco Unified Communications Manager has unregistered. In cases of normal unregistration with reason code "CallManagerReset", "CallManagerRestart", "DeviceInitiatedReset", "EMLoginLogout", or "EMCCLoginLogout", the severity of this alarm is lowered to INFORMATIONAL. An endpoint can unregister for many reasons, both intentional, such as manually resetting the device after a configuration change, or unintentional, such as loss of network connectivity. Other causes for this alarm could include a phone being registered to a secondary node and then the primary node come back online, causing the phone to rehome to the primary Cisco Unified CM node or lack of a KeepAlive being returned from the Cisco Unified CM node to which this endpoint was registered. Unregistration also occurs if Cisco Unified CM receives a duplicate registration request for this same device.

Recommended Action

Actions to take vary depending on the reason specified for the endpoint unregistration. If the reason is ConfigurationMismatch, go to the Device Configuration page in Cisco Unified CM Administration, make a change to the Description field for this device, click Save, then reset the device. In the case of a network connectivity or loss of KeepAlives problem, use network diagnostic tools and the Cisco Unified CM Reporting tool to fix any reported network or Unified CM system errors. In the case of an endpoint rehoming to the primary Unified CM node, watch for a successful registration of the device on the primary node. In the case of a duplicate registration request, it may be a non-malicious occurrence due to timing of an endpoint registering and unregistering; if duplicate registration requests continue or if the same endpoint has different IP addresses, confirm the IP address on the physical device itself by checking the settings on the device (settings button). If unregistration of this device was expected, no action is required. Also, refer to the reason code descriptions for recommended actions.

7	InitializationError—Indicates that an error occurred when the Cisco Unified CM tries to initialize the device.
8	DeviceInitiatedReset—The device has initiated a reset, possibly due to a power cycle or internal error. No action required; the device will reregister automatically.
9	CallManagerReset—A device reset was initiated from Cisco Unified CM Administration, either due to an explicit command from an administrator, or due to internal errors encountered. No action necessary, the device will reregister automatically.
10	DeviceUnregistered—The device has explicitly unregistered. Possible causes include a change in the IP address or port of the device. No action is necessary, the device will reregister automatically.
11	MalformedRegisterMsg—(SIP only) A SIP REGISTER message could not be processed because of an illegal format. Possible causes include a missing Call-ID header, a missing AoR in the To header, and an expires value too small. Verify the REGISTER message does not suffer from any of these ills.
12	SCCPDeviceThrottling—(SCCP only) The indicated SCCP device exceeded the maximum number of events allowed per-SCCP device. Events can be phone calls, KeepAlive messages, or excessive SCCP or non-SCCP messages. The maximum number of allowed events is controlled by the Cisco CallManager service parameter, Max Events Allowed. When an individual device exceeds the number configured in that service parameter, Unified CM closes the TCP connection to the device; automatic reregistration generally follows. This action is an attempt to stop malicious attacks on Unified CM or to ward off excessive CPU usage. No action necessary, the device will reregister automatically.
13	KeepAliveTimeout—A KeepAlive message was not received. Possible causes include device power outage, network power outage, network configuration error, network delay, packet drops and packet corruption. It is also possible to get this error if the Unified CM node is experiencing high CPU usage. Verify the device is powered up and operating, verify network connectivity between the device and Unified CM, and verify the CPU utilization is in the safe range (this can be monitored using RTMT via CPU Pegging Alert). No action necessary, the device will reregister automatically.
14	ConfigurationMismatch—(SIP only) The configuration on the device does not match the configuration in Unified CM. This can be caused by database replication errors or other internal Unified CM communication errors. First go to the Cisco Unified Reporting web page, generate a Unified CM Database Status report, and verify "all servers have a good replication status". If this device continues to unregister with this reason code, go to the Cisco Unified CMAdmin Device web page for the device and click Save. This allows a change notify to be generated to the Unified CM and TFTP services and rebuild a new config file. If the problem still persists, restart the TFTP service and Unified CM service.
15	CallManagerRestart—A device restart was initiated from Cisco Unified CM, either due to an explicit command from an administrator, or due to a configuration change such as adding, deleting or changing a DN associated with the device. No action necessary, the device will reregister automatically.
16	DuplicateRegistration—Cisco Unified CM detected that the device attempted to register to two nodes at the same time. Cisco Unified CM initiated a restart to the phone to force it to rehome to a single node. No action necessary, the device will reregister automatically.
17	CallManagerApplyConfig—An ApplyConfig command was invoked from Unified CM Administration resulting in an unregistration. No action necessary, the device will reregister automatically.
18	DeviceNoResponse—The device did not respond to a reset or restart notification, so it is being forcefully reset. If the device does not reregister within 5 minutes, confirm it is powered-up and confirm network connectivity between the device and Cisco Unified CM.
19	EMLoginLogout —The device has been unregistered due to an Extension Mobility login or logout.
20	EMCCLoginLogout—The device has been unregistered due to an Extension Mobility Cross Cluster login or logout.
21	PowerSavePlus—The device powered off as a result of the Power Save Plus feature that is enabled for this device. When the device powers off, it remains unregistered from Unified CM until the Phone On Time defined in the Product Specific Configuration for this device.
22	CallManagerForcedRestart—(SIP Only) The device did not respond to an Apply Config request and as a result, Unified CM sent a restart request to the device. The device may be offline due to a power outage or network problem. Confirm that the device is powered-up and that network connectivity exists between the device and Unified CM.
23	SourceIPAddrChanged—(SIP Only) The device has been unregistered because the IP address in the Contact header of the REGISTER message has changed. The device will be automatically reregistered. No action is necessary.
24	SourcePortChanged—(SIP Only) The device has been unregistered because the port number in the Contact header of the REGISTER message has changed. The device will be automatically re-registered. No action is necessary.
25	RegistrationSequenceError—(SCCP only) A device requested configuration information from the Unified CM at an unexpected time. The Unified CM no longer had the requested information in memory.
26	InvalidCapabilities—(SCCP only) Unified CM detected an error in the updated media capabilities reported by the device. The device reported the capabilities in one of the StationUpdateCapabilities message variants.
28	FallbackInitiated—The device has initiated a fallback and will automatically reregister to a higher-priority Unified CM. No action is necessary.
29	DeviceSwitch—A second instance of an endpoint with the same device name has registered and assumed control. No action is necessary.

If a 4xx response caused the alarm, verify that the PDP has been accurately configured for the functionality and call routing that you expect it to perform. If a 500 response causes the alarm, check whether the PDP service is active and check the PDP server's log files for any errors. If a 503 causes the alarm, the PDP may be overloaded by requests. Take appropriate action to reduce the load on the PDP by following some or all of these recommendations: 1) consider adding more PDPs and provisioning Unified CM with additional call intercept profiles and call intercept trigger points in the various configuration pages under the Call Routing menu in Cisco Unified CM Administration; 2) provision a pair of policy servers per call-intercept profile to enable load balancing; or 3) verify that the PDP server in your deployment meets or exceed the hardware requirements specified in the documentation for Cisco Enterprise Policy Manager (CEPM) or the third-party PDP solution you have deployed. If a 505 response causes the alarm, check to be sure that the PDP supports HTTP version 1.1.

InsufficientFallbackIdentifiers

Cannot allocate fallback identifier.

This alarm is generated when Unified CM is processing a IME call, and is attempting to allocate a PSTN fallback DID and a DTMF digit sequence to associate with this call. However, there are too many IME calls currently in progress which are utilizing this same fallback DID, and as a result, there are no more DTMF digit sequences which could be allocated to this call. As such, this call will proceed, however mid-call fallback will not be possible for this call.

Parameter(s)

Fallback profile name(String)

Fallback E.164 number(UInt)

Current number of DTMF digits(UInt)

E.164 called party number(String)

Recommended Action

Your first course of action should be to identify the fallback profile associated with this call. Its name will be present in the alarm. Check that profile from the admin interface, and examine the current setting for "Fallback Number of Correlation DTMF Digits". Increase that value by one, and check if that eliminates these alarms. In general, this parameter should be large enough such that the number of simultaneous IME calls made to enrolled numbers associated with that profile is always substantially less than 10 raised to the power of this number. "Substantially" should be at least a factor of ten. For example, if you always have less than 10,000 simultaneous IME calls for the patterns associated with this fallback profile, setting this value to 5 (10 to the power of 5 is 100,000) will give you plenty of headroom and you will not see this alarm.

However, increasing this value also results in a small increase in the amount of time it takes to perform the fallback. As such, it should not be set arbitrarily large; it should be set just large enough to keep clear of this alarm. Another alternative to increasing this parameter is to add another fallback profile with a different fallback DID, and associate that fallback profile with a smaller number of enrolled DID patterns. This will allow you to get by with a smaller number of digits.

PublishFailedOverQuota

Each IME server has a fixed quota on the total number of DIDs it can write into the IME distributed cache.

You should only see this alarm if you are near, but below, your quota. This error is likely to be persistent, so that the corresponding E.164 number from the alarm will not be published into the IME distributed cache. This means that you will not receive VoIP calls towards that number - they will remain over the PSTN.

RsvpNoMoreResourcesAvailable

RSVP Agent resource allocation failed.

The alarm occurs when allocation of an RSVP Agent fails for all the registered RSVP Agents (RSVP Agents are basically MTPs or transcoder devices which provide RSVP functionalities) belonging to the Media Resource Group List and Default List. Each RSVP Agent may fail for different reasons. Following are some of the reasons that could cause an RSVP Agent allocation to fail: available MTP/transcoders do not support RSVP functionality; a capability mismatch between the device endpoint and MTP/transcoder, codec mismatch between the endpoint and the MTP/transcoder; a lack of available bandwidth between the endpoint and the MTP/transcoder; or because the MTP/transcoder resources are already in use.

A capability mismatch may be due to the MTP/transcoder not supporting one or more of the required capabilities for the call such as Transfer Relay Point (which is needed for QoS or firewall traversal), RFC 2833 DTMF (which is necessary when one side of the call does not support RFC 2833 format for transmitting DTMF digits and the other side must receive the DTMF digits in RFC2833 format, resulting in conversion of the DTMF digits), RFC 2833 DTMF passthrough (in this case, the MTP or transcoder does not need to convert the DTMF digits from one format to another format but it needs to receive DTMF digits from one endpoint and transmit them to the other endpoint without performing any modifications), passthrough (where no codec conversion will occur, meaning the media device will receive media streams in any codec format and transmit them to the other side without performing any codec conversion), IPv4 to IPv6 conversion (when one side of the call supports only IPv4 and the other side of the call supports only IPv6 and so MTP needs to be inserted to perform the necessary conversion between IPv4 and IPv6 packets), or multimedia capability (if a call involving video and/or data in addition to audio requires insertion of an MTP or transcoder then the MTP/transcoder which supports multimedia will be inserted).

Parameter(s)

Media Resource List Name(String)

Recommended Action

RSVP Agents are basically Cisco IOS MTPs or transcoder devices which provide RSVP functionalities. Check the user manual of the configured MTPs and transcoders to see whether they support RSVP functionality. If none of them support RSVP functionality either they need to be upgraded (if upgraded version support RSVP functionality) or additional MTP or transcoders need to be installed which support RSVP functionality. If the RSVP Agent (MTP or transcoder) allocation is failing due to a capability mismatch, it's possible that the media device does not support the requested capability (such as IPv4 to IPv6 conversion, passthrough) or the capability might not be configured in the device. Please check the user guide and documentation of the media device to make sure that device supports all the necessary capabilities.

Also, caution should be taken care if all the MTP or transcoders are configured with all the supported capabilities. There are certain capabilities (such as RFC 2833 DTMF or RFC 2833 DTMF passthrough or passthrough) which could be supported by most of the MTPs or transcoders and there may be certain capabilities (such as IPv4 to IPv6 conversion and vice versa or RSVP Agent functionality or Transfer Relay Point or multimedia capability) which can be supported by only by a single MTP or transcoder depending on the devices that you have.

For example, you may have end devices belonging to different locations and may need to reserve the bandwidth only between two locations; calls between other locations may not need to reserve the bandwidth. Now, suppose all the MTPs or transcoders are configured with all the supported capabilities and only one MTP/transcoder supports RSVP functionality; if this MTP/transcoder is configured with all the supported capabilities (which all the other MTPs or transcoders in the same MRGL or default MRGL also support) it may happen that this MTP can get allocated for Transfer Relay Point or RFC 2833 DTMF or RFC 2833 DTMF passthrough or passthrough instead. As a result, when a need arises to reserve the bandwidth (which other MTPs or transcoders in the same MRGL or default MRGL do not support), all the resources of this MTP/transcoder may be in use and the RSVP Agent allocation may fail.

To avoid this situation, set the priority of the media resources appropriately. This can be done only in the Media Resource Group List and not in the Default List of the media resources. In any Media Resource Group List all the Media Resource Groups have different priorities and during allocation the first Media Resource Group is checked for availability of the requested type of the media devices. The first Media Resource Group in the Media Resource Group List will have the highest priority, then the second one and so on. To check all the Media Resource Groups and their priority go the Media Resources and Media Resource Group List of Cisco Unified CM Administration page and click the appropriate Media Resource Group List and check the Selected Media Resource Groups; the priority decreases from top to bottom. Position the MTP or transcoder that you want to be selected for the basic functionalities in the higher priority Media Resource Groups whereas the ones with more rare functionality can be positioned in the Media Resource Groups with lower priority. RSVP Agent allocation may fail due to codec mismatch between the end point and the RSVP Agent or MTP/transcoder.

A solution may be to configure the MTP/transcoder with all the supported codecs (as specified in the user guide of the MTP/transcoder), but be aware that doing so might result in too much bandwidth being allocated for calls. You'll need to weigh different factors such as the total amount of available bandwidth, the average number of calls, approximate bandwidth use per call (not involving MTP/transcoder), and so on, and accordingly calculate the maximum bandwidth that can be allocated per call involving an MTP/transcoder and take that into consideration when configuring the supported codecs in the MTPs and transcoders. A good idea is to configure the media devices with all the supported codecs and set the region bandwidths to restrict too much bandwidth usage (refer to the Unified CM documentation for details on region and location settings).

Also, there may be codec mismatch between the endpoint and the MTP/transcoders after considering the region bandwidth between the MTP/transcoder and the endpoint. Increasing the region bandwidth may be a solution to the problem, but that decision should be made after careful consideration of the amount of bandwidth you're willing to allocate per call between the set of regions.

Another possible cause that an MTP/transcoder did not get allocated is because there was not enough available bandwidth for the call. This can happen if the MTP/transcoder and endpoint belong to different locations and the bandwidth that is set between the locations is already in use by other calls. Examine the bandwidth requirements in your deployment to determine whether bandwidth between the locations can be increased. However, note that increasing the bandwidth between these two locations means that you may need to reduce the bandwidth between other locations.

Refer to the System Guide, SRNDs, and related Unified CM documentation for more details. Be aware that reducing the bandwidth or removing the higher bandwidth codecs from configuration may result in poor voice quality during call. Consider increasing the total amount of network bandwidth. Finally, if RSVP Agent allocation fails due to MTP/transcoder not supporting RSVP functionality or capability mismatch or all the resources being in use, consider installing additional MTP or transcoder devices which support RSVP functionality.

Reason Code Enum definitions for SAFForwardError

Reason Code Enum Definitions for SAFForwardError

Value	Definition
400	SAF_BAD_REQUEST - SAF Forwarder was unable to accept the request due to incorrect syntax (malformed), missing required attributes, and other similar reasons. Investigate the configuration between the SAF Forwarder and Unified CM to be certain that all settings are correct for your deployment. In particular, check the Client Label configured on the router to make certain that it matches the Client Label configured in Cisco Unified CM Administration on the SAF Forwarder Configuration window (SAF > SAF Forwarder).
431	SAF_INTEGRITY_CHECK_FAILURE - A message failed to pass SAF Forwarder security validation. This can occur because of misconfiguration, a potential attack, or more commonly by incorrect provisioning of the password on the Forwarder and SAF client. Reprovision the password and keep a watch on further SAF INTEGRITY CHECK FAILURE alarms. If you receive a persistent number of SAF INTEGRITY CHECK FAILURE alarms, close the interface between SAF Forwarder and Unified CM and investigate the source of the IP packets.
435	INFO LEVEL SAF_MISSING_NONCE - A nonce (a random parameter generated when the message is sent) is missing from the message. The system will resend with a new nonce automatically. No action is required.
436	SAF_UNKNOWN_USERNAME - Unified CM sent the SAF Forwarder an Application User name that is not configured on the router or that does not match the router's configuration. Check the Application User Name on the router and in the Application User Configuration window in Cisco Unified CM Administration to be sure they match.
438	INFO LEVEL SAF_STALE_NONCE - A nonce (a random parameter generated when the message is sent) has aged out (gone stale). The system will resend with a new nonce automatically. No action is required.
471	INFO LEVEL SAF_BAD_CLIENT_HANDLE - SAF_BAD_CLIENT_HANDLE - Unified CM sent the SAF Forwarder a Register message (for KeepAlive purposes) or unregister message with the mandatory CLIENT_HANDLE value, but the SAF Forwarder did not recognize the client handle. Unified CM will attempt to reregister with the SAF Forwarder without a client handle. This alarm is for informational purposes only; no action is required.
472	INFO LEVEL SAF_VERSION_NUMBER_TOO_LOW - Unified CM published a service (such as Hosted DN) whose version number is now lower than when it was previously published to the SAF Forwarder. The service is out of sync with the SAF Forwarder. Unified CM will republish the service in an attempt to resynch with the SAF Forwarder. This alarm is for informational purposes only; no action is required.
473	INFO LEVEL SAF_UNKNOWN_SERVICE - Unified CM attempted to unpublish a service from the SAF network but the SAF Forwarder does not have a publish record for that service. This alarm is for informational purposes only; no action is required.
474	INFO LEVEL SAF_UNREGISTERED - Unified CM attempted to publish or subscribe to the SAF Forwarder, but Unified CM is not registered with SAF Forwarder. Unified CM will automatically reregister with the SAF Forwarder before attempting to publish or subscribe. This alarm is for informational purposes only; no action is required.
475	INFO LEVEL SAF_BAD_FILTER - Unified CM attempted to subscribe to the SAF Forwarder with a filter that does not match any of the SAF Forwarder's current filters. Unified CM will resend the subscribe message with the appropriate filter value. This alarm is for informational purposes only; no action is required.
476	SAF_UNKNOWN_SUBSCRIPTION - Unified CM sent a subscribe or unsubscribe message to the SAF Forwarder but the message contained a Service ID that was not familiar to the SAF Forwarder. Without a recognized Service ID, Unified CM cannot subscribe to the SAF Forwarder. Recommended action is to contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
477	INFO LEVEL SAF_ALREADY_REGISTERED - Unified CM attempted to register with the SAF Forwarder but SAF Forwarder indicates that Unified CM is already registered. Unified CM will close and reopen the TCP connection and send a new register request without a client handle to SAF Forwarder. This alarm is for informational purposes only; no action is required.
478	SAF_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL_VERSION - Unified CM attempted to register with the SAF Forwarder using a SAF protocol version number that is greater than the protocol version number supported by the SAF Forwarder. Issue a show version command on the SAF Forwarder CLI to determine the SAF Forwarder protocol version; refer to the information in this alarm for the SAF protocol version number. If the versions do not match, check the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Software Compatibility Matrix (available on Cisco.com) to determine whether the SAF protocol version number that is in use on this Unified CM is compatible with the SAF Forwarder protocol version. If it is not, upgrade the lower-versioned component so that both Unified CM and the SAF Forwarder use the same, compatible version.
479	SAF_UNKNOWN_AS - Unified CM attempted to register to the SAF Forwarder but the registration message contained a Client Label that was not familiar to the Autonomous System (AS) on the SAF Forwarder router. Recommended action is to issue the appropriate CLI commands on the SAF Forwarder to associate the Client Label with the autonomous system on the router (refer to the Configuration Guide for the router) and configure the same Client Label in the Client Label field on the SAF Forwarder Configuration window in Cisco Unified CM Administration and click Save. When the Client Label is saved in Cisco Unified CM Administration, Unified CM automatically sends a new registration request to the SAF Forwarder with the updated Client Label information.
500	INFO LEVEL SAF_RESPONDER_ERROR - Unified CM sent a message (such as register/unregister/publish/unpublish/subscribe) to the SAF Forwarder but the SAF Forwarder responded that it is unable to process the message at this time. This might be due to heavy message queuing, internal resource issues, and so on. Unified CM will wait several seconds and then retry the request. This alarm is for informational purposes only; no action is required.
1000	SAF_INVALID_CONNECTION_DETAILS

SAFResponderError

SAF Responder Error 500.

This is raised when SAF forwarder doesn't know the transaction ID within SAF response from this Cisco Unified CM.

SIPNormalizationResourceWarning

The normalization script has exceeded an internal resource threshold.

The normalization script for the indicated SIP device has exceeded an internal threshold for resource consumption. This alarm can occur for memory consumption, or when the script is close to exceeding the configured allowance of Lua instructions. When the amount of memory (as defined in the Memory Threshold field) or the number of Lua instructions utilized by this script (as defined by the Lua Instruction Threshold) exceeds an internal threshold, this alarm is triggered.

Examples

If the memory threshold is set to 100 KB and the internal threshold is 80%, this alarm will occur when this script has consumed 80 KB of memory. The internal threshold is not configurable and may fluctuate from Cisco Unified CM release to release.
If the Lua Instruction Threshold is set to 2000 and the internal threshold is 50%, this alarm will occur when the script has executed 1000 Lua instructions.

This alarm warns that the resources (either memory or Lua instructions) have crossed an internal mark, where investigation into the consumption of those resources may be advisable to ensure the health of the script.

In Use Lua Instructions(UInt)

Lua Instruction Threshold(UInt)

Recommended Action

Examine the thresholds (Memory Threshold and Lua Instruction Threshold) configured in the SIP Normalization Script Configuration window.
Evaluate if the thresholds can be increased (take into consideration the CPU resources and memory when deciding to increase these values), or examine the script to determine if the message handlers can be written more efficiently to reduce the number of instructions in the script.
Examine the script for logic errors. If the script is functioning normally but contains extensive logic, consider increasing the value in the Lua Instruction Threshold field. Be aware that more computing resources will be consumed as a result. You can also examine SDI trace files for additional details about this resource condition. For scripts provided by Cisco, contact the Cisco Technical Assistance Center (TAC).
Investigate and correct the resource issue before the script closes. When the values that have been configured in the Memory Threshold field, or Lua Instruction Threshold field or both the fields on the SIP Normalization Script Configuration window are met, the script closes and the SIPNormalizationScriptClosed alarm also occurs. For additional information when troubleshooting, check the SIP Normalization counter, MemoryUsagePercentage to learn the current resource usage.

SIPNormalizationScriptError

Description

A script error occurred.

Explanation

Cisco Unified CM encountered an error during loading, initializing, or during execution of the SIP normalization script for the indicated SIP device. If the error was due to a resource issue, the SIPNormalizationResourceWarning alarm will also be issued. The Configured Action shown in this alarm may differ from the Resulting Action shown in this alarm because certain errors, such as those occurring during loading or initialization, cannot be configured. If the script closes three times within a 10 minute window due to errors, Cisco Unified CM will follow the configured action three times; on the fourth occurrence of the error, Unified CM disables the script and issues the SIPNormalizationAutoResetDisabled alarm.

SIPTrunkOOS

All remote peers are out of service and unable to handle calls for this SIP trunk.

This alarm provides the list of unavailable remote peers, where each peer is separated by semicolon. It also provides the reason code received by the SIP trunk, in response to an Options request sent to remote peer. For each peer, the alarm provides the hostname or SRV (if configured on SIP trunk), resolved IP address, port number, and reason code in the following format:

ReasonCodeType=ReasonCode.

The ReasonCodeType depends on a SIP response from the remote peer as defined in SIP RFCs (remote), or depends on a reason code provided by Unified CM (local).

The examples of possible reason codes include:

Remote = 503 ("503 Service Unavailable" a standard SIP RFC error code)
Remote = 408 ("408 Request Timeout" a standard SIP RFC error code)
Local = 0 (local SIP stack is unable to send the message due to socket send error)
Local = 1 (request timeout)
Local = 2 (local SIP stack is unable to create a socket connection with remote peer)
Local = 3 (DNS query failed)

For Local=3, IP address in the alarm is represented as zero, and when DNS SRV is configured on SIP trunk then the port is represented as zero.

Parameters

SIP Trunk Name(String)

Unavailable remote peers with Reason Code(String)

Recommended Action

For Remote = 503, the possible reasons include:
- Route/SIP trunk for originating side does not exist on remote peer. If remote peer is Unified CM, add a new SIP trunk in Unified CM Administration for the remote peer (Device > Trunk) and ensure the Destination Address and Destination Port fields are configured to point to the originating host (the originating host is the same node on which this alarm was generated).
- Route/SIP trunk for originating side does exist on remote peer but the port is either used for a SIP phone or a different SIP trunk. If remote peer is Unified CM, in the Unified CM Administration for the remote peer (Device > Trunk), ensure the Destination Port on the originating side is configured to be the same as the incoming port on the terminating side SIP Trunk Security Profile.
- Remote peer has limited resources to handle new calls. If remote peer is administered by a different system administrator, communicate the resource issue with the other administrator.
For Remote = 408, the possible reason includes:
- Remote peer has limited resources to handle new calls. If remote peer is administered by a different system administrator, communicate the resource issue with the other administrator.
For Local = 1, the possible reason could be that no responses are received for OPTIONS request after all retries, when UDP transport is configured in the SIP trunk Security Profile assigned to the SIP trunk on the originating side.

To fix this issue, perform the following steps:
- If remote peer is Unified CM, in the remote peer Serviceability application, choose Tools > Control Center (Feature Services) and ensure the Cisco CallManager service is activated and started.<
