Cisco Expressway C & E - Status.xml based Monitoring

Hi UC & Collab Professionals,

We are trying to establish statistical monitoring and threshold based alerting for Expressway C and E application in our deployment. 

We have standard MRA solutions in our deployment , EXP-E > FW > EXP-C > CUCM/IMP

For one of the counters regarding calls - we are trying to poll data from following url path:

 

https://IP/getxml?location=/Status/ResourceUsage/Calls/

Response is following: 

<ResourceUsage item="1">
<Calls item="1">

<Traversal item="1">
    <Current item="1">0</Current>
    <Max item="1">3</Max>
    <Total item="1">189</Total>
</Traversal>
<NonTraversal item="1">
    <Current item="1">0</Current>
    <Max item="1">1</Max>
    <Total item="1">75</Total>
</NonTraversal>
<CollaborationEdge item="1">
    <Current item="1">1</Current>
    <Max item="1">13</Max>
    <Total item="1">5751</Total>
</CollaborationEdge>
<Cloud item="1">
    <Current item="1">1</Current>
    <Max item="1">5</Max>
    <Total item="1">111</Total>
</Cloud>
<MicrosoftContent item="1">
    <Current item="1">0</Current>
    <Max item="1">0</Max>
    <Total item="1">0</Total>
</MicrosoftContent>
<MicrosoftIMP item="1">
    <Current item="1">0</Current>
    <Max item="1">0</Max>
    <Total item="1">0</Total>
</MicrosoftIMP>

 

</Calls>

 

Since these are old TANDBERG VCS type counters , same are not available on Expressway > Overview pages. 

But if I add Traversal Calls + Non Traversal, it would match the same number as current Audio + current video calls of Expressway Overview page counters.

Before we go ahead and start some alerts based on these polled counters, We  need to understand what they actually mean: 

 

Hence, as you can see above - we get output for :

1. Traversal Calls:  Any calls passing the FW or interworking scenario, passing traversal zone.

2. NonTraversal : Any calls not passing the FW and no interworking scenario and passing endpoint or neighbour zone.

3. CollaborationEdge :  ? 

4. Cloud: ? 

5. MicrosoftContent: ?

6. MicrosoftIMP: ?

 

What calls would be classified under 3,4,5,6 ? 

I believe 5,6 would be calls over federation B2B calls from Expressway environment to MS applications.

Are there any documents explaining each field of status.xml output for Expressway applications?

Would Collaboration Edge calls be sum of Traversal and non-traversal calls?

What is counted on cloud calls counter? what setup dictates this ?

 

Thank you for your help in advance.

 

Regards

Ritesh
