Pollers for Tandberg\Cisco VCS Expressway

jonchill Feb 9, 2011 9:25 AM

We've just installed on of these and before I start digging at the MIB, I wondered if anyone had any useful cistom pollers for the VCS and wouldn't mind sharing them?

Thanks

Jon

Jon,

You make any progress on this? I have a new C60/VCS/TMS installation myself and would like to start gathering some more info.

  No I haven't made any progress and can;t fathom out the MIBS to try and extract it.

Hi Jon,
do you have a more specific idea what data you would like to collect from those devices (video, overall performance)?
thanks,
Michal

    Hiya,
    I believe the SNMP on the VCS's is only for TMS and VCS to talk.
    Sorry for the bad news.

      Semi-related. Posted an NCM template today to enable NCM to backup configuration of VCS and VCS expressway appliances via SSH. You still need to create backups manually from GUI to enable an easy import/restore process, but this grabs the raw settings via the NCM process, to ensure you have a current settings backup. Hope someone else finds useful.

I have the same problem, and was told to submit a feature request for XML API and Cisco is moving to XMLAPI instead of SNMP
You can vote for it here, and hopefully they will deliver.
