Cisco Cluster Monitoring: Analyst and Database Files and Correlation

[David_Sun]

Prognosis Cisco cluster monitoring has Analyst and Databases for each cluster, these components are linked and work together to collect data.  

When a new cluster is added into Prognosis, the following files/folders are created:

• Create a cluster folder under \Server\Configuration\IPTM\Ccma\<clusterName>
• Create irclusterName.ini file in \Server\Configuration folder
• Start the following cluster database collection:

            0001dclusterName
            0001dclusterName-Calls

• Start the cluster Analyst 0001aclusterName
• Build the cluster Daily database summary (nightly) template: cma-database-day.txt:
   Source database: 0001dclusterName
   Destination database: 0001dclusterName-Day
• The NightlyProcessing is done by the cluster analyst by running the batch file:
   cma-database-day.bat
  
  Each CUCM cluster has its own cma-database-day.bat file, this file runs every day and builds the database summary template for the cluster.
  
  
• In the batch file, there is Nightly Processing file: cma-database-day.pcmd
  The cma-database-day.pcmd is the Daily summary template, it is the input file for ircmd.  It has the timing section, for example:

   Start 2020-09-09 00:00     

   Stop 2020-09-10 00:00

  These two timestamps are updated every night after the nightly processing is completed, and incremented 1 day. This is also the last successful time of the database summary.
