Appendix A: Configuration
446 Netcool/Proviso Cisco IP Telephony Technology Pack User’s Guide, Version 4.3-W
resend_sent_files If true, the CUCM server will re-send files that it has already successfully
sent. Since the CUCM can be configured to send data files to any host
specified by CUCM Web administration configuration settings, this field
must be set to true to ensure that data files are also sent to the
DataChannel host that requested them.
Use the false setting in the following situations:
• If you prefer to have the data files pushed back to the DataChannel
host according to a schedule specified by CUCM Web administration
configuration settings. Set the CUCM configuration to push the data
files back to the DataChannel server where the ProvisoCUCM
instance is running.
• If data files are being pushed back to the DataChannel host too slowly
for your needs.
If this field is false, the ProvisoCUCM instance will request the data files
from the CUCM server and receive none. It will then check for the data
files in the location specified by the CUCM Web administration
configuration (at time intervals specified by run_interval or
perfmon_interval). If the files are there, ProvisoCUCM retrieves the
files and generates the CSV output to cdr_output_dir (or
perfmon_output_dir with Perfmon data) on the DataChannel host
that requested the data.
Example: resend_sent_files=true
grace_period The time, in milliseconds, to subtract from the polling start time. The
polling start time is the time that the ProvisoCUCM instance begins
polling the CUCM server for data.
The grace period is intended to help you avoid missing data files that the
CUCM has not yet written for the current time period.
ProvisoCUCM uses the polling start time specified in the field
start_time of the file cucm.TIMESTAMP. This file resides in the same
directory as the cucm.properties file.
If the file does not exist when ProvisoCUCM is instantiated, it starts
polling the CUCM server immediately, creates cucm.TIMESTAMP, and
writes the current time to it.
Example grace period (100 seconds): grace_period=100000
Example start time (1/20/2009 at 12:00): start_time=1232470820931
run_interval The interval, in milliseconds, at which ProvisoCUCM polls the CUCM
server for CDR and CMR data files, and checks cdr_output_dir for
data files pushed there by the CUCM server.
Example (15 minutes): run_interval=900000
perfmon_interval The interval, in milliseconds, at which ProvisoCUCM polls the CUCM
server for Perfmon data files, and checks perfmon_output_dir for
data files pushed there by the CUCM server.
Example (5 minutes): run_interval=300000
