Cisco Prime 2.1 Third Part Integration

Does anybody already has integrated Cisco Prime with Third party system through Sockets or CORBA ?

Those aren't supported methods. The REST API is the recommended method to integrate external tools.

Cisco Prime Service Catalog & Process Orchestrator Integration

Hi,
I want to integrate Cisco Prime Service Catalog with Cisco Process Orchestrator using service link.
How to integrate it. Is there any docs for CPO & CPSC integration.

I replied on your other thread on the same topic. Please see that.

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>

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-

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 -- Third Party Devices

Hello,
we are using cisco prime infrastructure 2.0. Is it possible to manage third party devices? (We have a lot of Enterasys Switches)
When i want to Archive the config of the device there is an error --> No Device Package found for the specific device.
It is necessary to install device packages for third party devices? Where can i find and install these packages?
Thx in advance

it seems not to be on the road-map according to the functional /feature comparison between LMS and PI 2.0:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/guide_c07-729089.html
...and I doubt it will come (quickly) because config management has a lot of pitfalls and Cisco has a lot to do to get around all of them with their own devices..
However, Inventory Management for third party devices is on the road-map
older version of the document (feature comparison PI 1.2 - LMS 4.2) can be found here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/netmgtsw/ps6504/ps6528/ps12239/app_note_c27-716230.html

Can we Monitor third party Windows servers through Cisco Prime

Hi Team,
We are using Cisco Prime assurance and are currently monitoring Cisco UCCE Components through it.
Meanwhile we have few third party windows servers , which we would like to monitor it through Cisco Prime , just to maintain a single monitoring tool.
If yes, please share the steps or link.Also highlight the limitations in that.
Regards,
krishna

Seems Cisco Prime Assurance Manager is now obsolete and end of life already.
It is replaced by Cisco Prime Infrastructure. CPI supports third party/vendor devices to some minimum extent with limited management details collected via SNMP Templates.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Third Party NetFlow

Hi,
is it possible to collect on the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 NetFlows from Third Party Devices, like a SonicWALL Firewall?
I mean it is possible to poll SNMP informations from a third party device, so maybe it is also possible to get the NetFlow from this Device?
Best Regards,
Sven K.
Sent from Cisco Technical Support iPad App

Hi Sven,
As per my understanding for 3rd party Only below thing are supported:

• Auto Discovery of a 3rd party Device
• Basic Inventory collection
• Basic lifecycle management of 3rd party device
• Ability to show traps and syslog for 3rd party devices
• Device reachability status polling
• Ability to load new MIBs & to create new monitoring templates
• For both Cisco and any SNMP device

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 ?

Limit Syslog DB size Cisco Prime

Hi All,
I have an issue with my Cisco Prime 4.1.
I have a log file for syslog who’s getting bigger and bigger every day. We have created a purge policy to limit the size to 1 gigabyte. This seamed to be a good solution.
But at the same time, I have a database located under Cscopx/database/rmeng/syslog.db, in three parties, syslogfirst, second and third. The problem is that those files grow and never stop growing (5GB and more), until the disk space is full.
At the start the syslog db didn't grow anymore since I configured the purge job for the syslog file. But after a while the syslog db began to grow again.
Are those 2 (syslog file and DB) related in any way? Does anyone has the same problem? I suppose there is an easy way to limit the size of the syslog db.
Thanks,
Best Regards,
Joris

Syslog.log and Syslog*.db are connected to each other. Syslogs sent from device are received in syslog.log and then processed and written in syslog db. All syslog reports come from Db.
To control the log file the logrot utility is used and to control the db the syslog purge and other administrative fuctions are used.
For more details on logrot configuration see :

Hello Jason,
Thank you very much for welcoming me to your expert discussion :) I feel to be in the right place, at the right time. Thank you also for answering question beyond your scope here, much appreciated. The information received will help me to go further as such I have submitted a 5 start rating for your first reply.
That sounds promising about the LMS part so yes, I stay tuned and wait patiently.
Ok, now let’s revert to the actual topic discussed here. Cisco Prime Service Catalog and Process Orchestrator solutions I have briefly read up on this on CCO (where elseJ) and picked out the following quote
---- Quote from the Cisco Prime Service Catalog Data Sheet
Today’s end users want self-service and easy access to IT tools and services.
Simultaneously, organizations are seeking ways to extend their cloud management
platforms beyond self-service delivery of virtual machines and infrastructure resources
while increasing their use of cloud-based solutions to enhance business agility and effectiveness.
Cisco Prime™ Service Catalog offers tremendous benefits to organizations that want to unify the ways in
which all types of IT services are ordered and fulfilled, not just infrastructure requests
---- un quote ---
I try to understand what (at high level of course) happens in the back ground when an order is raised and which vendor solution your product can interact with.
As mentioned in the quoted text, this service catalogue goes beyond the standard infrastructure.
Let’s say, a user wants to deploy a new email services, or in your example, extends or create a new web-portal (i.e. for HR to view and manage holiday, staff absence and benefits).
Your solution will need to interact somehow with the 3rd party vendor application that is capable building such portal I believe.
Without disclosing to many information, I assume the portal is linked to backend VM,s that spin up requested resources (and more magic of course). Perhaps I am mixing this up with another cisco product where a user can go on the portal and spin up virtual Firewalls, virtual Routers can be provisioned in now time.
Out if interest; Is this product also known as Mozart? (project code within Cisco?)
I hope query is ok.
Best wishes

Cisco Prime and UCS 220M3

Dear folks,
I have a confusion in one of my deployments. My client ordered initially a UCS 220M3 server, which came along with a windows CD. It was supposed to be used as an LMS 4.1 server. Later on there were some variation and customer wants to have prime infrastructure over it. Now I am unable to understand how to do it. The server which came doesnt have any OS. It has one 600 GB hard drive. Can anyone guide me what should i do / or order additionally to work out through this. I am pasting the BoQ for this server which is the original one before variation, the task is to make it work with Prime Infrastructure. Along with this i am attaching some snaps of the physical server and CIMC console...just to clear out any doubts... i will be very thankful if you suggest me the correct way.

You have the necessary CPU, memory and hard drive specifications for an Express size installation (Reference).
To install Prime Infrastructure 2.0 you will need to first install VMware ESX/ESXi. This is documented in the same Getting Started Guide I linked to above at this link.
Once you get that far along, just follow the setup wizard and installation is pretty simple.
FYI you will get better attention to Prime questions over in the Network Management forum.

NetFlow is also supported by these devices Cisco 800, 1700, 1800, 2800, 3800, 6500, 7300, 7600, 10000, CRS-1 and these Catalyst series switches: 45xx, 55xx, 6xxx.
NetFlow export is also supported on other Cisco switches when using a NetFlow Feature Card (NFFC) or NFFC II and the Route Switch Module (RSM), or Route Switch Feature Card (RSFC). However, check whether version 5 is supported, as most switches export version 7 by default.
You can check the below steps to diagnose the issue::
To verify that NetFlow is exported from a device to PI, follow the steps below:
1)   Browse to Administration > Data Sources page. Check the value in column ‘Last Active Time’ for the ‘Device Data Sources’ table. If the table is empty or the value does not represent recent time, then
it is possible that the device is not exporting NetFlow or PI Assurance license is not applied / expired.
2)   Login to PI console ( via SSH) as root user and run the command:
                netstat –an | grep 9991 – Output of this should be like : udp        0      0 :::9991         :::*
                Check the firewall settings on PI server using the command: firewall -L
1)   Check the configuration on an IOS / IOS –XE device. Run the commands
a)   sh running-config | inc destination
1)   This should list the IP address of the PI SERVER ( along with other outputs if any)
b)   sh running-config | inc 9991
1)   This should list at least one entry.
c)   If the above are fine, then verify that the flow monitor, flow exporter and the flow records are correctly configured on the device.
Refer to the URLs below to configure NetFlow export.

I have installed Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.2 and I want to make a synchronization between the PI and the active directory
note:
I want to make that to be able to search about the users on cisco prime infrastructure using Hostname instead of serching on it using IP or MAC address.
how can I do this task ???

Cisco Prime Collaboration Usage

Hi,
Many Asia costumers complain it is very difficult to maintain the Cisco Collaboration system.
So we are considering the Cisco Prime Collaboration system, see which can help or not.
I have few questions about the Cisco Prime Collaboration Provisioning (CPCP) for SME customer / Cisco Prime Collaboration Assurance (CPCA) for Big customer.
1. CPCP Standard version is free? one cluster? no adv. features? What is the adv. features on adv. versions?
2. I see the CPCP will deploy the new configurations into the CM clusters, that is fine on the new CM, but the existing CM will access the CPCP push into new configurations? Any impacts will happen on delopying the new CPCP into the existing CM?
3. CPCA lic. counted by every end devices, that is really expensive. Any cost effective methods to deploy the CPCA?
4. If we want to monitor the TP endpoints or DX video phones, I have to plug the lan to the 37XX or above switches? 29XX cannot?

Hi,
Been out of the office but see that no one has yet responded to this. I can answer some of the questions.
1. CPCP Standard version is free?
CUCM 10+ users are entitled to use the Standard version.
one cluster?
Yes
no adv. features?
Not missing a lot, especially for smaller one cluster networks.
What is the adv. features on adv. versions?
The Standard and Advanced versions are pretty much the same except for the following:
Advanced can handle multi-cluster networks
Advanced allows administrator delegation. This means that different administrators can be assigned to different groups of end-users.
Standard does not have advanced workflows (Approver, MAC assigner, Shipper and Receiver).
Advanced provides a northbound API for integration to another network management application, HR system or custom UI.
2. I see the CPCP will deploy the new configurations into the CM clusters, that is fine on the new CM, but the existing CM will access the CPCP push into new configurations?
CPCP can push configurations to new or existing clusters. Changes made directly on a cluster will be pulled back to PCP so they stay in sync.
Any impacts will happen on deploying the new CPCP into the existing CM?
CPCP was designed to add to a UC network at any time. When added to an existing network, CPCP can use it's reverse sync process to import users and CM configurations.
3. CPCA lic. counted by every end devices, that is really expensive.
List price may appear really expensive but you need to work with a sales person to determine the actual price. There is also the option to have an enterprise license agreement which might be more cost effective if this is for a Big Customer.
Any cost effective methods to deploy the CPCA?
ELA as mentioned above, or use the free standard version. It the standard version provides enough functionality, it might be an option. Cost effective may be hard to define. If the product significantly lowers the cost to operate the network (faster fault resolution, less administrators, usage reports, resource utilization savings, etc.) it would be cost effective. I don't know how big the Big Customer is or what/how many endpoints/devices/apps are in the network so I cannot provide any better advice.
I am not sure how to answer the last question so will leave it for a TME or other expert on CPCA. It looks like a medianet question. CPCA is not completely dependent on medianet to monitor TP environments and can provide some call trace and performance without it. This is best answered by someone on the Assurance PM/TME team.
Regards
