Prime Infrastructure 2.0 email charset problem

Dear all,
I have question regarding Guest portal managed through PI. Everything is set, but only one thing doesn't work as I expected.
When I make an account and print it, everything looks fine. When I sent it via email, then enconding of mail is wrong.
Problem is, that PI gives Charset : ANSI_X3.4-1968 (can see in email header).
I would like to have ther (in email) : CP1252 (or UTF) - basically something what can interpret national characters.
I have found this about similar problem, but absolutely have no idea where set it up.

In old WCS, there was no problem with this.
Does anyone has solution for this?
Thank you
Pavel

I see now, this is a poor carry over from NCS. The option that says include "controller" in email does provide the switch hostname. Hopefully by version 3.0 they will have all the wireless naming fixed when it applies to converged.
Thanks Rob!

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 - Email alert when device is unreachable

Is there a way for PI to send email alerts when a device becomes unreachable? I know there are alerts when an interface goes down, but I can't find how to get prime to alert me ONLY when a device becomes unreachable.
Does anyone know how to do this? I can't believe such a simple feature would be so difficult to configure...

PI also generates an event when it finds unreachable device. An event is an occurrence or detection of some condition in or around the network. An event is a distinct incident that occurs at a specific point in time. Examples of events include:
Port status change
Device reset
Device becomes unreachable by the management station
You can view the list of events using the Event Browser.
Choose Operate > Alarms & Events , then click Events to access the Events Browser page.
Prime Infrastructure discovers events by automatically polling devices and discovering changes; for example, device unreachable.
For more details on Events, please check here :

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 1.3 Tacacs+ authorization problem

Hello,
We are having trouble setting our new installation of Cisco PI 1.3 to work with Tacacs+ configured on ACS 4.2.
We have followed procedure explained in Cisco PI 1.3 configuration guide and in Tacacs+ logs we can see that we have successful authentification but authorization is unsuccessful:
21/05/2013,16:36:44,Authen OK,pradoicic,admins,192.168.187.109,,192.168.187.109,wifi-prime-p-vm01,AP,ACS1AERO,1,,,192.168.187.109,No Filters activated.,,,No,

We have added user group into ACS as is explained in configuration gude and we have also tried to add virtual domain at the beggining or at the and of the list but that didn't solve our problem.
Is there anything that we can do in order to make Cisco PI to authentificate users using Tacacs+?
Any help in finding solution for this problem will be very appreciated.
Regards,
Jelena

Hi,
On the Cisco PI side we have:
1. Added Tacacs+ server under Administration > AAA > TACACS+
We have entered all required parameters
2. Enabled AAA Tacacs+ mode under Administration > AAA > AAA Mode and we have choosed on auth failure or no server response oprion.
On the ACS side:
1. Under Network Configuration > New Entry we have added Cisco PI
2. Under Interface Configuration >TACACS+ (Cisco IOS) > New Services >
we have added Prime and HTTP (we have checked box infront of these service).
3. Under Group Setup > Edit Settings > prime HTTP service we have added custom attributes that we have copied from Cisco PI Admin group. We have also exported virtual domain information from Prime and have imported them on the beggining of the custom attributes and we have also tried to place that virtual domain information on the end but we have the same behavior.
For some reason ACS doesn't know how to return authorization information.

Jelena

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Image Distribution Problem

Hey Guys,
Trying to upgrade a switch using Prime. The switch Sync's fine with Prime, SNMP and Telnet/SSH credentials seem to work. However when trying to push an Image I get the following errors in the job description:
Distributing image c3560-ipbasek9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar using protocol TFTP FAILURE
Distributing image c3560-ipbasek9-tar.150-2.SE6.tar using protocol SCP FAILURE
How can I find out more details as to what exactly the failure is?
Thanks!

Interesting note:
I found that when using the "Software Deployment" instead of the "Image" tab under a device in the "Device Work Center" to do upgrades, I encounter this problem less often.
However the problem still does occur at times and an additional problem I'm facing is that at times the upgrade jobs succeed fine, but the devices never get rebooted (in spite of having the snmp-server system-shutdown string in the config). In that case the job will never finish and shows as 'running' 10 days later. The Job also can't be cancelled or aborted successfully.

Prime Infrastructure 2.0 email alerts with hostname?

I have configured email alerts however in the message it shows up with the IP address instead of hostname.
Is there a way to configure the hostname to be added? Custom text or adding the switch differently (added by direct IP search)?
Thanks,
Chris

I see now, this is a poor carry over from NCS. The option that says include "controller" in email does provide the switch hostname. Hopefully by version 3.0 they will have all the wireless naming fixed when it applies to converged.

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 Email frequency (alert reminders)

Hi,
We have deployed a Cisco PI 2.2 and are able to receive emails when alerts are generated in the network, but emails are ony sent once. Is there any way to set the email frequency for alerts? In the case an alert hasn't been cleared in a certain period, to have the PI send another alert notification.
Thanks.

Have you found a solution to this issue? We are having the same issue at our location.

Prime Infrastructure - Email Alerts by Virtual Domain

We are currently providing wireless to various buildings and districts via flexconnect controllers and use Prime as a monitoring device each separate group is able to access individually to view their maps and APs. I have received a request for email alerts when APs are down from one district, but I see no way to group the email alerts that Prime sends out. It seems to be you can vary by type (APs vs switches) but not by virtual domains or groups of devices. Is there any way to pull this off directly from Prime?
I could potentially have all email alerts sent to one inbox and then forward based on rules to include the AP syntax for each district, but that would be quite messy, especially if only one of the many districts wants the alerts.
Thanks for any idea you can provide.

Just an update for anyone who may stumble on this issue and have the same problem. In version 1.4 of Prime Infrastructure if you change your virtual domain in the top right and then go to alerts and choose email options you have a completely new list you can set up. Doing this you can do a root folder for a company or district you are providing for and setup email alerts for only that teir and bellow of access. This way they only see alerts from APs and devices they have access too. Meanwhile you can leave the root teir to email yourself and then separate them out via inbox rules as desired.
This may be possible on older versions of Prime, but I did not notice the email alerts being an option while under the other domains until 1.4.

Licences installed (ncs stopped,rebooted)
Added all devices via Bulk Import (Inventory>Device Management>Network Devices)
Problem 1:
The Cisco 5500 WLCs are not listed in Inventory>Device Management>Network Devices (see screen shot) but listed under "All Devices"!
The Cisco 4400 WLCs and the 8500 WLCs are listed within their subgroup.
Devices are in "Managed State"
Problem 2: fixed! (Browser issue)
Problem 3:
Unable to run "Wired Detailed Device Inventory" report because I get the error message: Failed to run report: Unable to retrieve data for: Chassis Information (if Chassis Information is selected, if System Information is selected I get the error message with ...retrieve data for:System Information)
All devices do have an "Admin Status = Managed" and the Last Inventory Collections Status = Completed.
Has anyone the same issues or a tip for me?
Another topic, the "User Defined Fileds" are not exported when with running a "Device Export" (Inventory > Device Management > Network Devices). ;-(

Hallo Bastian,
I think you still have browser issue, Using IE is still the best with Prime.
I have exactly same prime 2.2 and installed fixes/software/device packs.
I have no problem I can see all views. I use now IE 11, with Chrome 42.0.2311.90 and firefox 37.01 I have problems too with lots of views. You have not tell what browser + version you have.
Since you have same prime 2.2 as me. I have other problems, can you check yours?
Can you see a functional CLI template page at Configuration > Templates > Features & Technologies:

Email Notifications on Prime Infrastructure 2.1

Hi Everyone,
I have a Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 with almost 100 switches registered and managed properly. I have configured the Mail Server and alarm notifications are sent with no problems.
The deal is that I don´t want to recieve alarm mails for every single device that is registered. Is it possible to recieve mails just for a group of devices? I was checking the Cisco documents but could not find something clear about this.
Thanks for your help,
Ricardo

Problem with implementing license in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2

Goodday,
For Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2 I downloaded an license from the license portal.
This concerns a eval/demo license, for an demo of Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.2.
When selecting the the type of license you get a few options, from which I selected the basic, advanced and lifecycle evaluation licenses. This is the type of license that is required for our demo.
After completing the wizard I can download en implement the license.
Until this point everything goes as it supposed to be.
When i go to the Prime Infrastructure 2.2 appliance (running on VMWare ESXi 5.5.0).
When I go to the license section in Cisco Prime Infrastructure I can implement the license, however if I implement the .lic file I get the error “Unknown feature (PI_VM)”.
I have done implementing license files before, but this is the first time i encounterd this problem.
Who can help me with this error?
Regards,
Dennie Verhoeven

Hi Dennie,
PI2X-BASE-LF-AS-US-VM-N-EVAL-90   >> I think you have used this product name while generating the license
Either you try generating a new license or contact cisco license team to generate a new license
with the information like below ::
Product Name                : R-PI2X-K9
    Product Description         : R-PI2X-K9:R-PI2X-K9 : Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.x
    Product Qty                 : 1
    UDI                        : PID: PRIME-NCS-VAPL SN: ANY:ANY
Serial no : with ANY:ANY will work as starting from PI 2.2 , there is no node locking with license.

Syslog Email forwarding on Cisco Prime Infrastructure

Hi everybody,
We are performing a migration from LMS 4.2 to Prime Infrastructure 2.1 and we are realizing that some features are not in this new platform.
I suspect that one of them is syslog forwarding by email. In our old LMS we collect some syslog messages, we filtrate them and we email some of them, based on a criteria. Some of them we email to someone, and some of them are droped.
Does someone know if this feature is avaliable in Cisco Prime? I think we can collect syslog messages and view them, but we can not process. Am I right?
Regards and thank you in advance,
David

Hi David,
Yes , unfortunately so far syslog forwarding is not supported.
Also so far only SEV 0.,1 and 2 syslogs are supported in PI. Hoping to have these features in PI 2.2
Thanks-

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.0 and ASA 55xx platform problem

Hello,
We recently upgraded to Prime Infrastructure 2.0 with the hope being able to manage our ASA's from PRIME (and complete an LMS migration).
When I attempt to add ASA's to prime i get the following collection errors:
Unable to collect processor and RAM information.          Processor and RAM information.          Unexpected error. See the log file inventory.log for details.
In the logfile I get the following XML parsing error on the MIB:
<palError>
<deviceId>6284310032</deviceId>
<code>VALIDATION_ERROR</code>
<message>Failed to validate output XML: cvc-maxInclusive-valid: Value '3484331296' is not facet-valid with respect to maxInclusive '2147483647' for type 'int'.</message>

        </MemoryPoolStatistics>
To me it seems that the ASA returns a value that is bigger then int32 and thus causes an overflow? Any clues? Workarounds to add an ASA to Prime without checking these MIB'S?
Regards,
Marcel

Hi,
does anyone happen to know if that problem is fixed? My currently setup looks like this:
1. Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 with updated device pack.
2. Assurance license
3. ASA5510 which has enabled netflow. Netflow is being sent to Cisco Prime 2.1
I do receive netflow raw data within Cisco Prime 2.1 but any graphical display of netflow data is not working. Does anybody has an idea where the problem is? Could it be that the graphical data is only displayed when sending netflow 1, netflow 5 or netflow 7?

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 problem with sorting devices in device groups

Hi,
I have a problem with prime infrastructure, namely prime is not doing appropriate sorting of devices in default device groups.
Example: device type > routers > Cisco 2800 series integrated services routers - under shown results there are Cisco 2911 Integrated Service router, Cisco 2901 etc.
Any solution?
Tnx

Hi all:
I have tried using Designing Monitoring Template to set the Health Check Polling time from default 15 minutes to 5 minutes and also tried also 1 minute.
The result is 5 minutes is working but 1 minute is not working.
May I know any one can help on this?
Many thanks!

Prime Infrastructure 2.1 - SFP port alarms to email/show total network traffic speed

Hello,
Running Prime Infrastructure 2.1 with assurance license.
I have two questions:
1. Setting up alarms in PI 2.1. I've set up a port group of my main switches that have TenGig links to our main router. I have set up a monitor template that has only interface availability on it and then deployed it. In theory, this should email me, the contact (where I put my email address in), when the ports that I have set up go down, correct?
2. I want to monitor the entire traffic of the network going in to the router from our TenGig ports. I've messed around with the dashlets and adding my port group to the WAN utilization dashlet but only see % of utilization. I'd like to be able to see raw traffic stats from those ports. I'm sure I'm missing something. Where do I need to look in PI to check raw traffic data in Mbps/Gbps from my ports.

In my first question, I do not get an email when a port goes down. I set up a test port and when I pulled it, after about 10 minutes, it had never sent me an email. I will continue to look through what I've been doing to see if I can figure it out.
