Change Interface availability threshold from Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

Dear Community,
I’m working in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and I’m having the following problem:
I want to monitor the interfaces availability from all the devices of my network. But only makes sense send an email notification for the most critical interfaces. I don´t want to receive an email notification every time anyone unplugs the network wire.
How can I achieve this?
I already tried to change the interface availability threshold from the Interface Health Threshold Template, but this one isn´t available to configure.
The idea was to change the severity of the alarm so I could distinguish what type of alarm would send email notification.
I also created a Custom SNMP Template that gets the ifOperStatus using the MIB IF-MIB. This also didn’t work because Prime Infrastructure doesn’t allow me to define thresholds to a Custom SNMP Template.
Without threshold, no alarm, without no alarm, no email notification!
Can you help?
Regards,
Daniel CJ

Only on the HA pair which would be the secondary.
High Availability (HA) RTU: If Cisco Prime Infrastructure is deployed in a high availability configuration with one primary and one secondary instance in an HA pair, then an HA RTU is required. You only need to purchase a single set of the regular licenses (for example, Base, Lifecycle, and so on) for the primary instance.
Thanks,
Scott

Upgrade from Cisco Prime infrastructure verion 2.0 to 2.1

Request you all to please let me know if i have to install point patch before upgrading the cisco prime infrastructure 2.0 to 2.1.

After moving to 2.1, there is a 2.1.1 point patch currently available.
You should install that and the latest device package (4.0 as of this posting).
As always, the Release Notes are the best place to check the current available updates.

Collecting logs from Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Hi ,
I am currently working in integrating Cisco Prime Infrastruture with the siem tool Qradar.
Can any one help me out in below issues:
1)How and where is the log stored in Cisco Prime.?
2)Does the logs contains the logs of the devices that Cisco Prime manages?
3)Is there any way to sent out the logs from Cisco Prime to a third party device.?

Hi,
1)How and where is the log stored in Cisco Prime.?
/opt/CSCOlumnos/logs
2)Does the logs contains the logs of the devices that Cisco Prime manages?
AFAIK,
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 .
Till now PI support only SEV 0,1 and 2 syslog.
3)Is there any way to sent out the logs from Cisco Prime to a third party device.?
unfortunately , this feature is not there in PI so far.
Thanks-

Export Alarm/Event Data from Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1+

I am looking to export the current Alarm data for my CPI 2.1 deployment. This so we can go through and organize the data in excel and better configure alarm/events....currently getting 3k a week and we need to tighten what constitutes a critical event and some other parameters. We need the raw data in csv format so do some analytics on it.
My issue is there is no reference in the admin/user guides to export alarm data. Also no button or option within the GUI. How can this be accomplished?

The supported method going forward is to have external tools interact with Prime Infrastructure via the REST API.
See the documentation on your Prime server for "GET Alarms":
https://<your server address>/webacs/api/v1/data/Alarms?_docs
...or you can download a copy of the API Reference here.

Upgradding Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0

Hello,
A customer currently have 2,500 Cisco Prime Infrastructure Lifecycle device license using Prime Infrastructure version 1.2 and LMS 4.x. the customer wants to upgrade to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0.
Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to version 2.0 without additional cost? the licenses from
Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 has to be upgraded or we need only to rehost the VUDI.
Also could be possible to upgrade LMS 4.x to Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0?
thanks!

The two features you mention are two big missing ones. Another is full syslog capability. I don't believe CiscoView or day one support via package updates is included either.
Another is less tangible - the depth of experience and documentation available for LMS vs. Prime Infrastructure (particularly the wired management features). I agree for wireless PI 2.0 looks good. Some new features are coming for wired that look promising but they are new as of PI 2.0 so I'm taking a wait and see on them.
I hope to get 2.0 up in my lab in the next week or so and will hope to be pleasantly surprised but that's seldom the case with a major new release.

Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.

Can i install Cisco prime infrastructure 1.3 with 1.1 license.To be more precise it will be fresh installation
but the licenses I have is of 1.1.As per my overview from Cisco prime Infrastructure 1.2 NCS and NCS(WAN)
has been bundled into one service.But both were seperate entities in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.1.

It doesn't matter if you want to make a new installation or an upgrade. The questions is the license.
The base license is necessary for network management nodes (devices). But to get updates for your system you need the additional to your Base License the Lifecycle License (which can be ordered for 12, 24 or 36 months).
The Lifycycle License is also based on the number of managed devices. In your case 50 devices. So you have that License - congratulations!
Otherwise order the Lifecycle License for 50 devices (L-N-PI12-50-M). This generates CON-PSUU-PI12LF50 for 12 months, list price 414,81$. Then Upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2, patch the system and upgrade to 1.3.
Have fun,
Chris

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Custom Reports

Hi, I need to generate a custom Guest User report from Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1. It needs to have a couple more fields added to the existing "Guest User Association" report.
Is it possible to connect to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Database and Generate custom reports? Is there any documentation on this?
Thanks

Programmatic access to PI's data is via the REST API.
Check the help menu on your PI server to see documentation regarding the supported tables and fields that can be queried via that method.

Hi Jeremy,
SNMP traps are shown in the events and alerts section of PI.
SNMP config looks fine. Can you run the SNMP debug (debug snmp packets ) .check the logs and see if the device is actually sending the TRAPS to the PI server.
Thanks-

Cisco Prime infrastructure Change severity Switches and hubs - link down alarm

Hi, I want to change the severity of the link down alarm in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3, but in the menu Administration -> System Settings -> Severity Configuration i can not find the alarm. Some body knows where is it? o where i can change the severity of that alarm?
Thanks in advanced.

Hi Rollin and Daniel,
the first test i did changing the severity was with a new installation, with no devices added and it worked, when i did it in a Prime infrastructure with devices added it didn´t work, well, for this Prime with devices i upgraded it with the patch for 1.3 version and now it works too, the alarms is ok as the alarm severity, this is the link for the patch:
http://software.cisco.com/download/release.html?mdfid=284652876&flowid=38562&softwareid=284272933&release=1.3.0&relind=AVAILABLE&rellifecycle=&reltype=all
i hope this helps,
Regards,

After Update Cisco Prime Infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0 imported floor plans has black background

Hello everybody,
we have updated cisco prime infrastructure from 1.3 to 2.0. When we now import a floor plan (autocad-file, dwg-format), the background from finally image, that is show in prime, is black. Previous imported floor planes has a white background. We also tried to import a previous imported floor plan again, the background is now black. Is there a possibilty to change the background to white? Thanks

Hi,
Look no further, these issues are related to know bugs. It seems that autocad files have multiple issues with PI 2.0, Only feasible way is to convert them to JPGs and import them. Lets hope these will get fixed to the level they where at PI 1.3.
CSCuj63017, PI 2.0 dwg(AutoCAD file) import reports Tailormade is for Demo use only
Symptom:
When dwg files are imported to Prime Infrastructure, they report
"For Demonstration Purposes only
Tailor made software"
Conditions:
Prime Infrastructure - 2.0.0.0.294
Use of dwg (Auto cad) files
Workaround:
None at this time
Further Problem Description:
CSCuj94500, Loading DWG floor maps on PI 2.0 appears in black background
Symptom:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map, the map appears in black background.
Conditions:
On PI 2.0 when we try to import autoCAD .dwg file to map
Workaround:
use 3rd party tool like Draftsight or AutoCAD Trueview to change the file to .jpg and import again to PI, after that the map appear in white background in PI 2.0.
Further Problem Description:
However, the same .dwg file when we imported it to PI 1.3 appear in map with white background.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 not showing alerts from switch

Hello,
I have a prime infrastructure 2.0 running at a customer place and the customer now complains that he is not receiving link up/down messages from the switch. When i checked I have seen that if I shut down a port in the switch the prime identifies after a long time, but its not generating an alarm still. How can I fine tune the prime to fix this issue. Please help on this.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Same problem here.
I am using Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 (evaluation version for 60 days). I want to deploy port monitoring for my trunk ports between switches and some other important ports e.g. servers. Basically I want to get alarms when these ports are down, there are errors on ports and etc.
So in Design>Port Grouping I created User Defined group with important ports. In Deploy>Monitoring Deployment I selected Interface Health (default)>Deploy selected Port Groups and when selected port group I created.
Now the rule shows Deployed: Yes and Status: Active. After that I just pulled out one port which was in monitored group, waited 5min as it is set in Interface Health (default) template, and nothing happened, and worse, alarms started to show up of other ports where regular users are connected (computers was turned off), which I do not want to see at all. I tried redeploy template, I even created my own template but still no desired result.
Any suggestions how to make port monitoring work?

Web Interface of Cisco Prime Infrastructure Not Working

Hi All,
I installed the trial version of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 on ESXi server.
It installed propersly and and i am able to ping it and also ssh into it.
But when I try to access it via web interface, it does not work.
I am provided with a login screen but after putting my credentials the page goes blank.
There also an error on the page "Error occured while fetching Meatdata for Slider Panel" and there is a advertisemnt to download Google chrome Framework.
When i do "NCS status" in CLI i see that every service is running.
Does anyone know how to solve this.
All your help is highly appreciated.

Google Chrome Frame isnt supported anymore, using Google Chrome doesnt work with all features and forget about Firefox. Up until this morning I had it working on IE11 but some update caused me to have this problem again. Cisco needs to get this fixed. I use several applications from Cisco and they still can't figure out a way to have them all work on a single browser.

URGENT---cisco prime infrastructure 1.2. change default theme

hello guys,
I wanted to ask you a question.
I have installed in my company the cisco prime infrastructure 1.2.
As you know, the lifecycle theme has enough bugs, but these bugs are overtaken if we use the classic theme.
I have several users working with cisco prime infrastructure 1.2, and i was wondering if it is possible to define classic theme as default for all people.
thnks

I would think if they logged in they can change their own preference. You only can change it from the account you logged in as.

Including Interface Description in Cisco PRime Infrastructure Alarm Message

Hi all,
i succesfully configured a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 applliance to display an alarm and to send me an e-mail when switch uplink ports goes down.
The text displayed in alarm message is :
port 'interface_id' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
I'd like to include in this text also the interface description so the text will display :
port 'interface_id' 'interface_descriprion' is down on device 'device_ip_address'
Is this possible?
Thankyou in advance

Hi,
i followed these steps :
SWITCH SIDE
- configured Prime Infrastructure as snmp-server host;
- enabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown events globally;
- disabled snmp-traps for linkup and linkdown on non relevant interfaces using the no snmp trap link-status command
PRIME INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE
- under "Deploy/Monitor Deployment" i deployed template "Interface Health" for all the interested switches
- under "Administration/System Settings/Mail Server Configuration" configured my internal SMTP server to make Prime Infrastructure able to send e-mails
- under "Operate/Alarms & Events" click on "Email Notifications" , then on "Switches and Hubs"
- check the "critical" box , insert the destination e-mail address into the "To" field then click "Save"
- check the "switches and Hubs" box and then click Save
As i know is possible to avoid to configure every single not-interesting port on the switches with "no snmp trap link-status" command (it's a bit annoying when you have tens of switches), using Port Grouping configuration on PI but i tried it without success.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
