[cisco-voip] [cisco-VoIP] VoIP Monitoring in Solar winds

[Thomas LeMay]

Hi, Jeremy and list members,

 

I have determined we are using both the NPM and the VQNM.  At this point
nothing has been configured with respect to the VQNM as we are looking for
best practice settings or configurations for QoS, VoIP, SLA and Monitoring
settings?  No one that we have spoken to seems to be able or willing to
provide this type of guideline data. If you or others on the list could that
would be appreciated.  With respect to basic up and down that is straight
forward.  What specific trigger levels do engineers normally set for CPU and
disk utilization or other stats?  Would one configure CPU to alert at above
95% for example?

 

Thank you,

 

Tom

Might need to provide more details to get a good answer.  Are you using
their NPM tool and want basic up/down/CPU/disk utilization, or their VQNM
tool that does specific VoIP/QoS/IP SLA testing/monitoring?

Basic monitoring in NPM is easy, just add an SNMP string to the UC servers
and discover the device within NPM.  I haven't had any hands-on experience
with VQNM to know how much different the process is there, but most
Solarwinds products are pretty easy to get up and working.  I have tried to
get some CUBE and PVDM statistics monitoring in NPM using Universal Device
Pollers with limited success.

Hi, 

 

We are starting to configure Solar winds to monitor VoIP (Call Manager,
Unity Connection Emergency Responder and Contact Center Express).  We are
new to the Solar winds product and are wondering what specific triggers
other engineers have configured for monitoring purposes.  Could anyone
provide some examples or details on what they are monitoring and what can be
monitored for VoIP and UC within Solar winds?

 

Thank you,

 

Tom
