Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Chapter: Serviceability and Administration
Serviceability and Administration
Serviceability and Administration
MediaSense offers a web-based user interface for administrative activities, such as adding and configuring MediaSense servers, managing users, and checking and configuring storage management parameters.
The interface also provides access to support system serviceability functions that are required to service the product. MediaSense offers most of these functions through the Real Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT), which is similar to Unified Communications Manager and other Cisco voice products. RTMT is a thick client that can be downloaded onto any Microsoft Windows system (other operating systems are not supported) from the MediaSense serviceability web pages.
RTMT provides the following capabilities:
- Collecting log files of specific types and specific time periods from MediaSense servers. Remote log browsing is also available so that logs can be viewed without having to download them.
- Displaying alerts (including system conditions). System conditions are service-impacting conditions, such as the temporary or permanent outage of a server or critical subsystem, an overload condition, or loss of connectivity to a dependent service. Events that raise or clear system conditions may also be sent to a SYSLOG server or trigger proactive notifications to be sent by email.
- Displaying and graphing a large array of both system and application level counters, statistics, and performance measurements including the amount of space in use on the media partitions and the number of recordings in progress at any given time. RTMT also allows thresholds to be configured for these values that when cross over create an entry on the Alerts screen. As with system conditions, these alerts can also be sent to a SYSLOG server or trigger proactive notifications to be sent by email.
Separate from RTMT, MediaSense provides a specialized browser-based Serviceability user interface that provides administrators with the following capabilities:
MediaSense also supports a command line interface (CLI) for many additional service functions. Administrators of the Unified Communications Manager will already be familiar with most of these functions.
SNMP is not supported at this time.
