SIP Probe for ACE

Does anyone have a good health check for SIP?

Currently ACE is not SIP aware.
ACE will support SIP with version 2.0. It will support SIP load-balancing over TCP and UDP, it can load-balance based upon the SIP header i.e. can load balance based upon the Call-ID (even though information for many calls are in the same TCP connection). It
can also do stickiness based upon Call-ID.
Additionally, ACE 2.0 supports SIP probes.
Currently you can only use udp probes
probe UDP5060 udp
interval 1
faildetect 2
passdetect interval 60
passdetect count 2
port 5060
probe ICMP icmp
interval 1
faildetect 2
passdetect interval 60
passdetect count 2
serverfarm SIP
rserver 192.160.246.147
inservice
rserver 192.160.246.148
inservice
probe ICMP
probe UDP5060

ACE Health probe for SIP

I've setup a SIP probe to check the health of a Microsoft OCS. The health of this server is always failed. What am I missing? I also tried it with a telnet probe on port 5061, but got the same result. A telnet from ACE to the server on port 5061 works fine.
See below a show probe SIP detail and the relevant configuration.

Peter,
make sure to NOT run version A2(1.1a) as SIP probes are broken in that specific release.
If your version is something else, get a sniffer trace on the server to see what is going on.
Seems like we don't get a reply according to the line :
"Last disconnect err : Server reply timeout (no reply) "

ACE Probes for authentication to imaps, smpts or pop3s servers

Dear all,
we have the demand to do health checks using authentication for servers running SSL-encrypted services like imaps, smpts or pop3s. Has someone implemented tcl scripts for that ? Unfortunately the "SSL_PROBE_SCRIPT" provided by Cisco does only do a "Client Hello". Maybe it is possible to enhance that script in order to test authentication ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Bernd

Dear Gilles,
thank you very much for your reply. This answers my question.
But ... I would like to turn this into a feature request, because I believe this demand is not that much out of common. There already is a https probe which works in a similar way, so it should be easy for Cisco to add probes for common ssl-encrypting protocols or - even better - add a generic ssl probe.
Best regards,
Bernd

HTTP probe in ACE

we have a simple layer3-4 port 80 app thta is being load balanced by ACE and created an HTTP probe that actually acts more like a TCP probe, since we took a default on just about all the attributes:
probe http WEB_SERVERS
expect status 200 200
Unfortunately, when we activated this probe, we saw the following:
probe : WEB_SERVERS
type : HTTP
state : ACTIVE
description :
port : 80 address : 0.0.0.0 addr type : -
interval : 120 pass intvl : 300 pass count : 3
fail count: 3 recv timeout: 10
http method : GET
http url : /
conn termination : GRACEFUL
expect offset : 0 , open timeout : 10
expect regex : -

The obvious culprit here is the return code. How do we assign the correct return code here?
Thanks...

Hi,
I wouldn't just let it default. It is better to probe for a particular page if that is possible. If this is a page you create, then it offers the possibility of being able to take a server out of rotation simply by renaming the page. E.g.
probe http PROBE-iamhere
interval 30
passdetect interval 10
request method head url /serverhere.html
expect status 200 200
Alternatively, it looks like you are getting a 302 response code (a redirect) then you could just change the line in the probe to expect that.
probe http WEB_SERVERS
expect status 302 302.

TCP Probe on ACE 4710

Hi,
I am trying to configure proble on ACE device and I have few queries on those:
1. I want to probe 10 different tcp ports for a serverfarm, is there any way i can give the range on probe ? if not and if i have to probe individual port and then configure in a serverfarm, how it would behave i.e. I want to fail the probe only when all the configured ports are failed.
2. I am trying to configure probe for a particular tcp port, but I suppose server is not sending RST to that port, so probe is failing. However if I try to telnet that port from any other location it is getting connected. How can I configure probe in that case for that port ?
Pls. suggest.
Thanks
Pawan

You will need to configure a probe for each port.
Add all the probes to the serverfarm.
Use the command "fail-on-all" under the serverfarm.

DTrace probes for oracle database 10g in solaris 10

Hi guys,since a mounth i`ve learnt about solaris DTrace and its D scripts and tried to look for probes for administrating oracle database but til now,nothing!so my question,does there DTrace probes for oracle application ?i really need it now,that`s my project:tracing oracle with DTrace in solaris 10 SPARC!anyone can help me pleaaase!!!

Hey!!of course that's a great site but U know,i've already visit it and it doesn't talk about probes for oracle!!howeiver i thought about another option,how do u think about exploiting oracle instance...i mean,do u think it's possible to monitoring oracle processes (LWGR,PMON,DBWR,SMON,...) with DTrace by using providers?like fbt or io,i don't know much!!remember,the aim is monitoring oracle database performance !!

IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe for SCOM

My SCOM 2012 environment feeds SCOM alerts to two IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe. In the probe property file the connector names are different and they show correctly in the Internal Connector tab.
However when I try to forward any alert directly from monitoring console, it doesn't show me the connector names but only IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe for both connectors. How and where can I change this name?
Thanks, Harry :-)

Hi Harry,
If we check the properties of both connector, where can we see "IBM Netcool/OMNIbus probe for SCOM", there should be a property that indecate that for both of them.
And from what I am thinking, this seems like designed by the connector, if we cannot change the above setting for both of the connector, then we may not be able to achieve the goal.

Yan Li

ACS support for ACE Module

Does ACS for Windows 3.3 support AAA for the ACE module?

I don't think that is correct. I am still
having issues with ACE and ACS. See below:
ACE version Software
loader: Version 0.95
system: Version A1(7b) [build 3.0(0)A1(7b)
Cisco ACS version 4.0.1
I am trying to authenticate admin users with AAA authentication for ACE management.
This is what I've done:
ACE-lab/Admin(config)# tacacs-server host 192.168.3.10 key 123456 port 49
warning: numeric key will not be encrypted
ACE-lab/Admin(config)# aaa group server tacacs+ cciesec
ACE-lab/Admin(config-tacacs+)# server ?
TACACS+ server name
ACE-lab/Admin(config-tacacs+)# server 192.168.3.10
can not find the TACACS+ server
specified TACACS+ server not found, please configure it using tacacs-server host ... and then retry

Health probe for RDP farm

I have an RDP server farm that lost a disk. The RDP service was still running but users were unable to log in. I'd like to create a health probe that does maybe a combination of TCP probe for port 3389 and something that can determine if the drive that stores user profiles is available.
I cannot add any new service (http or ftp) to the server.
Can anyone think of another way to do this? Is there any way I can check SNMP mibs on the windows server or maybe WMI through TCL?
Thanks.

Can you drop me a mail offline ([email protected]) and I can share what I have. Matthew

Configuring Probe on ACE

If I need to configure a request method probe for website www.abc.com, should the command be
request method head url /abc.com
OR
request method head url /www.abc.com
OR
request method head url www.abc.com
Regards.

None of the above
www.abc.com is hostname not URL
If you want to probe home page url at www.abc.com the just use
request method head url /
and make sure that you configure
expect status 200 200
under probe definition.

There have been few threads around this,
/t5/Cseries/Can-I-do-voip-on-the-c3-00-wifi-s40-sip/m-p/761253 and http://discussion.forum.nokia.com/forum/showthread.php?209961-Can-I-do-voip-on-the-c3-00-(wifi)-s40-... it seems like VoIP is not possible on C3-00.
If you are looking for VoIP capable Nokia device then perhaps this list in Forum Nokia could help you further, http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/VoIP_support_in_Nokia_devices#Support_in_Series_40_devices
Hope it helps

SIP settings for Nokia N95

Hi All,
Can anybody provide detailed guide on how to make SIP settings for N95 so that I can use internet telephony thru my router?
Thanks in advance.

It'll involve using a proxy put at your disposal by your VoIP provider. Contact them for more details. People here can't help you because they have no reason to know your provider's settings.

SIP ALG for NAT Cisco 3845

Does the SIP ALG for NAT have to be on the router where I am planning on running Call Manager Express for that to work properly, or can I have it running on an upstream router where I am currently preforming NAT functions?

You should be able to run it on either. If you have a choice, it would probably be better to run it on the upstream router. There are some things with SIP that aren't supported with the NAT ALG when the SIP is originated and fixed on the same router. One of these things I can name off hand is the 'sip bind' command which isn't supported on the same box.
It's still very possible to run it on the same box, however. But the SIP ALG doesn't require any information from CME to work properly.
