Primary Collector
|
Specifies the Primary AMC (AlertMgr and Collector) server that collects clusterwide real-time information. Value must match one of the configured servers and, preferably, a server with no or minimal call processing.
This is a required field.
|
Failover Collector
|
Specifies the Failover AMC (AlertMgr and Collector) server. The server specified in this parameter is used to collect real-time data when the Primary AMC is down or unreachable. No data is collected if Failover Collector is not specified when Primary Collector is not active.
|
Data Collection Enabled
|
Determines whether collecting and alerting of real-time cluster information is enabled (True) or disabled (False).
This is a required field.
Default setting: True
|
Data Collection Polling Rate
|
Specifies the AMC collecting rate, in seconds.
This is a required field.
Default setting: 30
Minimum: 15
Maximum: 300
Unit: seconds
|
Server Synchronization Period
|
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that backup AMC (AlertMgr and Collector) waits at startup in order to determine if primary AMC is up and actively collecting. This parameter prevents backup AMC from assuming a collecting task prematurely.
This is a required field.
Note  Restart the AMC service on the backup server for the parameter change to take effect.
Default setting: 60
Minimum: 15
Maximum: 300
Unit: seconds
|
RMI Registry Port Number
|
Specifies the port number to activate RMI registry. This port is used for primary or backup AMC to locate other AMC, and for the RTMT servlet to find primary/backup AMC.
This is a required field.
Note Restart the AMC service for the parameter change to take effect.
Default setting: 1099
Minimum: 1024
Maximum: 65535
|
RMI Object Port Number
|
Specifies the port number used for RMI remote object. This port is used for AMC to exchange data with other AMC as well as with RTMT servlet.
This is a required field.
Note Restart the AMC service for the parameter change to take effect.
Default setting: 1090
Minimum: 1024
Maximum: 65535
|
AlertMgr Enabled
|
(For AMC troubleshooting purpose only.) Enables and disables the alerting (email/epage) feature.
This is a required field.
Note Restart the AMC service for the parameter change to take effect.
Default setting: True
|
Logger Enabled
|
(For AMC troubleshooting purpose only.) Enables and disables the logging feature (CSV files for generating reports).
This is a required field.
Note Restart the AMC service for the parameter change to take effect.
Default setting: True
|
Cisco Database Layer Monitor Service
|
Maintenance Time
|
Specifies the hour to begin CDR database maintenance. Use this parameter in combination with the Maintenance Window parameter. For example, specifying 22 in this parameter means that the CDR maintenance would begin at 10 p.m. If the Maintenance Window parameter is set to 2, it means that CDR maintenance will run every hour from 10 p.m. to midnight. If both parameters are set to 24, CDR maintenance will run every hour all day long. During CDR maintenance, the system deletes the oldest CDRs and associated CMRs, so the maximum number of records, as specified in the Max CDR Records parameter, is maintained. Also during maintenance, the system issues an alarm if the CDR file count exceeds 200, and checks for replication links between servers that have been broken and tries to reinitialize them.
This is a required field.
Default setting: 24
Minimum: 1
Maximum: 24
Unit: hours
|
Maintenance Window
|
Specifies the window of time during which CDR maintenance is performed on an hourly basis. For example, if this parameter is set to 12, CDR maintenance will run every hour for 12 hours, starting at the time that is specified in the Maintenance Time parameter. For example, if the Maintenance Time parameter is set to 7, and this parameter is set to 12, CDR maintenance will begin at 7 a.m. and run every hour until 7 p.m. If both parameters are set to 24, CDR maintenance will run every hour all day long. During CDR maintenance, the system deletes the oldest CDRs and associated CMRs, so the maximum number of records, as specified in the Max CDR Records parameter, is maintained. Also, during maintenance, the system issues an alarm if the CDR file count exceeds 200, and checks for replication links between servers that have been broken and tries to reinitialize them.
This is a required field.
Default setting: 2
Minimum: 1
Maximum: 24
Unit: hours
