<body class='hmmessage'><div dir='ltr'>Stephen,<div>Very impressed with the PhoneView application. Having the ability to remotely see and control a phone from a user's perspective would really cut down on the guesswork when troubleshooting.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Travis,</div><div>The feature of Variphy that stands out the most to me is the Change Management reporting. Select two configuration snapshots from different days and it outputs a comparison summary where you can drill down.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Anthony,</div><div>I wrote our UC portal in Perl. We use it to do quick lookups against various systems that pertain to UC. Call Manager for devices, UCCE for agents, Verint for channel maps, Active Directory for users, etc. I probably would have saved a great deal of time by going with PHP as you did, but old habits die hard!</div><div><br></div><div>I've been really tempted to start an open source project for UC management. The biggest problem I've seen in our UC deployments is not the lack of standards & conventions, but the lack of the ability to programmatically define those standards & conventions which would then give you the ability to audit resources. For instance, each of our business units employs a slightly different standard for naming partitions, CSS, etc. You could create a site template that describes how a business unit's locations should be configured, then create phone templates that describe how the phones in a location should be configured. I'm sure someone has done something similar but I couldn't find anything on Google.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Pete</div><div><br><div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Sat, 18 Jan 2014 10:08:24 -0600<br>Subject: Re: [cisco-voip] CUCM Multicluster Information Lookups<br>From: avholloway+cisco-voip@gmail.com<br>To: jpb@chykn.com<br><br><div dir="ltr"><div>I have several clusters as well and have gone down the "down and dirty" path.</div><div><br></div>What server side language did you go with Pete?<div><br></div><div>I find that PHP's built in SOAP client handles CUCM's AXL Schema pretty well if not 100%, however I cannot find a Python module to even come close.

<div><div dir="ltr">Does anyone know of an existing software package that can be configured to query device information & status from multiple CM clusters? Our group supports 8 CM environments for different business units within the company. Often we're not given enough information on an issue (sometimes just a name) and have to log into a few different clusters before we get the right one. <span style="font-size:12pt;">I ended up building a quick & dirty internal web site that sends queries to all the clusters at once via AXL, but I wonder if there are any existing (supported) products that provide this type of functionality?</span><div>
