Can Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 work as syslog server

Hello all,
Customer want Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 to work as syslog server. they want to query text in syslog and get raw log file from Cisco Prime Infra. but when i see in user interface. I think that it cannot query and search text in syslog. but i am not sure whether we can get raw log file per devices from Cisco Prime Infra. Can anyone know about this.?
thanks

Hi Sompoj,
In the prime infrastructure Syslogs are directly read from udp port 514 and then filtered
, the non SEV1 and SEV2 syslogs will be dropped and will not be entered into db . The
syslog messages will not be saved into log files .
Thanks-
Afroz

Cisco Prime Infra and SMS gateway integration

Hello,
Can anyone point me to right documents or resources to integrate cisco prime infra 2.x with SMS gateway?
Is there any way I can get SMS alerts for critical events in Cisco Prime Infra 2.x?
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Girish

Not directly.
If you configure PI to email you on alerts, many carriers allow you receive SMS via an email address - i.e. <your_number>@<your_carrier>

Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 Standard Install using OVA File HD Requirements

   Hi guys,
       I wanna install the Cisco Prime Infra Standard 2.1 using the OVA File but I haven't 900 HD Space continuous in Storage.
   Two questions
       01) The Virtual Machine allocate this space (900 HD) during the install or allocate dynamically as needed ?
       02) There is a option to install the Standard Version using less HD space ?
      Thanks
      My Best Regards
      Andre Gustavo Lomonaco

Initially we installed medium when Prime 2.0 came out, however about 3 months lately we needed to upgrade to standard/pro. Upgrading the CPU/Core was seamless
Install a smaller OVA with enough cpu/cores for the standard and just add disk space later on

Its not a recommended practice but there are work around...

Cisco Prime Infra 1.2 Web server

Hello,
I have installed a version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2.11 with a kickstart .ova file on my production network.
Everything goes fine and I follow the instructions for installation ; i can ping my Cisco PI server and ssh into it as admin.
However, when I try to reach the web server via https, it does not work. I have reviewed my proxy settings and they are not to blame. The nslookup returns the IP address when I poll it. I have read elsewhere that I would need "NCS" service to be started, but I can't find anything called NCS on my Prime Infra server in CLI mode.
Anyone with a suggestion for this issue ?
Thanks
Jeremy

Actually I know what's happening ; the PnP (plug n play) setup was not configured, and so 443 port was not up.
I configured PnP using "pnp setup" command, but then I have to supply a list of certificates and keys :
Enter absolute pathname of PnP Gateway server key file:
Enter absolute pathname of PnP Gateway server certificate file:
Enter absolute pathname of Prime Infrastructure server certificate file:
I tried to do this with the private key I had for my server. I created it on my Certificate Authentication and got a .key and a .csr (certificate server request).
However when i feed them to my PnP setup I get this error :
Setup is in progress.......
Stop PnP Gateway server
OpenSSL command failed for mycert.csr and mykey.key
any idea as to why this is happening?
I read elswhere again that i need to run commands with "ncs" but I don't have "ncs" commands on my prompt...
Thank you for your time

CISCO PRIME INFRA 1.1 License

Hai Recently, we are installing cisco Prime NCS 1.1 and we are facing some issue for License.
I would like to clarrify the below licneses.
L-WCS-NCS1-M-K9
L-PINCS11-300-U
L-PINCSW11-300-U
We installed the second licnese and got 300 device limit. But we have 500 access points in our network. We are using NCS only for Wireless Management and not for Network Devices which is using LMS .
I am confused, we have additional 2 more licenses as above and why is that for??? can any one let me know these!!! Y we are using WCS-NCS license and it is having lonly 25 device limit support , which we cannot import since i already upload the second licnes. Also y this L-PINCSW11-300-u WAN license used for????

You can always remove the license if you installed the wrong license....You need to install your base first then your adder. You don't need to use the LMS or WAN as this comes free with NCS 1.1. The WCS to NCS migration comes with a free 25 ap base license. You just need to make sure you have purchased the correct license to cover your 500 ap count.
Here is another thread regarding the license:

Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 for Wireless and Wired Management

Hi All,
I've two CPI 2.1 physical appliances running in HA mode. Currently they are used to manage Wireless infrastructure.
Now, we are planning to buy licenses and add wired devices to CPI.
We've two separate teams. Team-A manages Wireless only and Team-B manages Wired infrastructure.
Both teams want their own Admin accounts to access CPI and they don't want to use shared credentials. If Team-A logsin with their Admin Account, they should see Cisco Prime Infrastructure dashboard and if Team-B logs in with their own Admin Account, they should see CiscoWorks LMS Dashbaord.
How can we achieve this? I can create user accounts and provide access to the CPI, but I'm not sure how to specify which dahsboard they will get access to.
Thanks,
CJ

You should consider merging team doing wired & wireless, it is difficult to manage these individually.
By any chance if you deploy 3850/3650, it is both WLC & Switch, so managing by two different teams does not make sense.

Cisco Prime Infra 2.1 fails to import an image from file

We have a standard Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 install. The software repository has been built up by importing the IOS images from the discovered network devices. To implement netflow capabilities on some 3750X switches we need to upgrade the IOS on the chassis and the NM card C3KX-SM10G. I was able to download from Cisco Support the 3750X IOS .tar file and import it from my machines local file system. However, the modules tar file c3kx-sm10g-tar.150-2.SE6.tar fails on the upload from my local file system. When I look at the import rob results they are as follows:
Image collection from source SUCCESS
Copying Image to Staging Location SUCCESS
Copying Image to Repository FAILURE
I've tried to import just the .bin file but this also fails at the same stage as above.
I've also tried to scp the file directly into the backend file structure with no success into the folder /opt/CSCOlumos/conf/ifm/swim/jobs with the other images (oddly noticed the above .tar file for the 3750X isn't listed with the other .bin files - although is available through the webGUI).
I need to distribute the NM .tar file across multiple switches and I'd prefer to use Cisco Prime for the job. Any help would be gratefully received.
Thanks.

I had (still have?) the same problem with it not copying the image over. I put in a ticket and they told me to upgrade to Prime Infrastructure 2.1-Device Pack 4 pi_2.1device_packs_4-40.ubf which helped but it still fails sometimes.
I had read a post from another thread about going through software image management to distribute and that seems to work a little better, but still fails sometimes.
So I think that there are still quite a few issues in Prime that need worked out.
We have over many switches that need software upgrades and I was hoping to do it quickly through Prime but I don't want to send out more then one image at a time to switch because I don't want it to fail. So it's a drawback right now, just doing one at a time to make sure it takes.

Cisco Prime Infra 2.2 + Third Party Inventory and configuration backup

Hi All,
I am having a doubt related to Cisco prime solution capability to do a discovery and config backup for non-cisco devices.
Requirement is to use Cisco prime to do a discovery, inventory and take configuration backup for non-cisco devices. Is it something possible out of the box ?
If not possible out of the box, is there any method to do that using any custom API ?
Can we monitor 3rd party( Non-cisco) devices using Cisco Prime 2.2 ?

Can Cisco Prime send a peer to peer connectivity report

I'm trying to discover if we have any peer to peer wireless clients (not ad-hoc WLANs) talking to each other. I was asked to turn off peer to peer on the wireless network, so I need to find out if there are any clients talking to one another, and if so, what are they, etc.
I've looked through the reports and didn't see anything there.
We have Cisco Prime 7.2, 5508 WLCs and MSE.

How to install cisco prime 2.1 on a empty HP server

Hi all,
i want to install cisco prime 2.1 using the physical appliance ISO File on a new empty HP Server, because we have no vmware environment.
After booting from the ISO File I receive the error "connot find kickstart file on cdrom". Because of this I am not able to install the software.
I have loaded the ISO image two times from cisco, so im pretty shure that the images is not broken.
Any Idea?
Thanks!

If you have control of an HP Server, why don't you load VMware into the server? PI requires VMware and can't be loaded onto a "bare metal" frame.

Prime Infra 2.0 alert when syslog message received

Dear member,
May I know did prime infra 1.3, 2.0 can support alerted user when received a syslog message?
if yes, and configiuration guide for reference?
Regards

Hi Russ,
PI does not actually keep a record of the raw syslog messages it receives, and there is no report for syslogs. When PI receives a syslog, it will immediately process the message and convert it to an event/alarm.
Also, note that PI only processes severity 1 and 2 syslogs. The closest thing you can get to a syslog report
would be to run anadvanced search for events
For other alarms and events you can go to Operate > Alarms
& Events > Email Notification page. Make sure that the alarm categories that you
want to have notifications for also has the Enable checkbox checked.

Check your machine's actual specifications here.
It looks like you can support up to 3 MByte in a 17" iMac and up to 4 Mbyte in a 20" iMac, if your cache size coordinates with the specs on the linked page.
OWC says you should be able to put 4 Gbyte into your machine here. Wherever you get the memory, it would be a good addition. This is the Apple Store listing for your machine, as near as I can figure it.

Moving buildings cisco prime infra 2.1

Hi,
is it possible to move a building from one campus to another if the building already exits within the "new" campus?

After adding a new building, you can move it from one campus to another without having to recreate it.
