Appendix A: Configuration

Field

Description

 

 

 

 

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
