[cisco-voip] UCCX HA and CUIC Historical Data Source

[Nick Britt]

Hi Anthony,

Sorry to grave dig but just wondered if you ever got an answer for this?

I am about to go down this rabbit hole myself as a customer wants a better
explanation (documentation) as to how this is supposed  to be configured
and how this should behave.

Cheers

Nick
