Network usage data export

The system stores up to approximately 1GB of network usage data, deleting

the oldest as needed. Data size is based on site topology complexity, not usage,

so it’s very predictable. On a system with the largest supported site topology,

it’s only one day’s worth of usage data, but most systems should retain data

for a substantially longer period.

Determine an appropriate download interval for your site topology and

download network usage data to your PC at that interval. See “Exporting

Network Usage Data” on page 427.

CDR export

If you want to preserve detailed call and conference history data in

spreadsheet form off the Polycom DMA system, periodically download the

system’s CDR (call detail record) data to your PC. See “Call Detail Records

(CDRs)” on page 412.

Dashboard

When you log into the Polycom DMA system, the system Dashboard appears.

You can return to the Dashboard from any other page by clicking the

(“home”) button to the left of the menus. Use the system Dashboard to view

information about system health and activity levels.

The Dashboard is highly customizable. Initially, it contains six default panes.

You can close any of these that you don’t want, and you can add others. You

can add multiple copies of the same pane, each showing information for a

different cluster. The maximum number of panes is 50.

Click the Add Panes button to see the panes that are available. In the Settings

dialog box (see “Settings Dialog Box” on page11), you can specify the

maximum number of columns for the Dashboard. The panes arrange

themselves, up to that number across, to best fit your browser window.

The system remembers your Dashboard configuration, and you’ll see the

same configuration when you log into any cluster of the supercluster.

The buttons on the right side of each pane’s title bar let you access help, go a

related page (where appropriate), maximize the pane to fill the window,

restore it to its normal size, or close the pane. Hover over a button to see what

it does.

An alert icon appears in the title bar of a pane if there is an alert related to its

information. Hover over it to see the alert message.
