Create reports on your CUCM backup's health

[Manuel Azevedo]

Hi guys,

Checking everyday if backups are being done can be daunting and tedious. We found out in a big customer that some backups were not being done after an upgrade (CUCM 8/CUCM 10 upgrade).

This prompted me to make a script that would help our support team have a daily overlook on how the backups are.

I've created a simple Perl script that crawls a Collaboration backup directory and subdirectories (tested with CUCM, CUCX, PLM and UCCX) and directories and creates an HTML report than can be sent by email:

The script has several customization options (command line and configuration file) to fit many needs.

You can easily configure a cron (Linux) or a Task (Windows) job to send the email. I've also created a simple PowerShell script to help with sending emails in Windows.

You can find the documentation in my website (no ads!) and the link to github where you can get it:
