Cisco Unified Serviceability Overview
Cisco Unified Serviceability, a web-based troubleshooting tool for Cisco Unified Presence, provides the following functionality:
•Saves alarms and events for troubleshooting and provides alarm message definitions.
•Saves trace information to various log files for troubleshooting.
•Monitors real-time behavior of components through the Cisco Unified Presence Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT).
•Provides feature services that you can turn on, turn off, and view through the Service Activation window.
•Provides an interface for starting and stopping feature and network services.
•Generates and archives daily reports; for example, alert summary or server statistic reports.
•Allows Cisco Unified Presence to work as a managed device for SNMP remote management and troubleshooting.
•Monitors the disk usage of the log partition on a node (or all nodes in the cluster).
•Monitors the number of threads and processes in the system; uses cache to enhance the performance.
Tip Cisco RIS Data Collector provides Process and Thread statistic counters in the Cisco Unified Presence RTMT. To configure the maximum number of processes and threads that are allowed, so Cisco RIS Data Collector can provide these associated counters, access the Maximum Number of Threads and Process service parameter for the Cisco RIS Data Collector service in Cisco Unified Presence Administration.

How To Access Cisco Unified Serviceability
To access Cisco Unified Serviceability, you must browse to the application from a computer that runs the supported browser. Cisco Unified Serviceability uses Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTPS) to establish secure connections.
Tip Cisco Unified Serviceability does not support the buttons in your browser. Do not use the browser buttons, for example, the Back button, when you perform configuration tasks.

Remote Serviceability Tools
To supplement the management and administration of the Cisco Unified Presence system, you can use remote serviceability tools. Using these tools, you can gather system and debug information for diagnostic help or remote troubleshooting. The tools can process and report on a collection of local or remote Cisco Unified Presence configuration information. With customer permission, technical support engineers sign into a Cisco Unified Presence node and get a desktop or shell that allows them to perform any function that could be done from a local sign-in session.
Cisco Unified Presence supports the following capabilities for remote serviceability:
•Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)—Provides remote management for managed devices such as Cisco Unified Presence.
•Show Command Line Interface—Displays Cisco Unified Presence system data.
•Syslog Analysis tools monitor and manage a wide range of events and error messages
Accessing Cisco Unified Serviceability
Before You Begin
If you have already signed into one of the applications that display in the Navigation list box (not Cisco Unified OS Administration or Disaster Recovery System), you can access Cisco Unified Serviceability without signing in. From the Navigation list box, select Cisco Unified Serviceability; then, select Go.
Procedure
Step 1 Enter https://<server name or IP address>, where the server name or IP address equals the server where the Cisco Unified Serviceability service runs.
Step 2 Select Cisco Unified Presence Administration.
Step 3 If the system prompts you about certificates, you must enable HTTPS to secure communications between the browser client and the web server.
Step 4 Enter the application username and application user password that you specified during installation when the system prompts you for a user name and password.
Step 5 After Cisco Unified Presence Administration displays, select Navigation > Cisco Unified Serviceability from the menu in the upper, right corner of Cisco Unified Presence main window.
Troubleshooting Tips
•Any user who has the Standard CCMUsers role assigned can access Cisco Unified Serviceability.
•After you sign into Cisco Unified Serviceability, you can access all applications that display in the Navigation list box without having to sign into each application. Select the application you require from the list box, and select Go.
