Report temperature on C-Series Endpoints

[dgjones19170]

Now that version 6.x and above reports on the internal temperature of the C-Series Endpoints, is there a way to have this reported.  Such as get a daily email.  Is this possible with Prime Collaboration Assurance?

[Wayne DeNardi]

In short, no, there are not event notifications available in current versions of TMS to do this.  Given that the facility to see these temperatures, fan speeds, other environmetals have only been included in the latest versions of endpoint software, there may be plans to include this in future versions of TMS.

Your best chance would be to log a feature request through your local Cisco representative.

Hi Douglas!

There might be no overview (never tested if you see an alert if it gets to warm).

But at least you can find the temperature for a specific endpoint in TMS.

If you go to the system navigator, select the endpoint, go to Settings > extended settings > system status

you can at least see what you are searching for.

Thats not officially supported, but i would not rule out if its an urgend need for you that

you could try to find this info in the SQL database and that you could read it out and

analyze it.

If your systems are directly reachable and not "behind firewall" you could also

make a small script which is just accessing the API of the endpoint to read out values

you are interested in and make a nice report or graph it over time with tools like

mrtg/cacti or whatever you like.

Besides that, as Wayne said, file a feature request via your Cisco Partner/Contact

Thank you.  I was hoping to find an automated solution like email alerting.

[Martin Koch]

If you write your own script it could also generate you an email report.

Such kind of report might also be quite special. So in general it would be nice to

easier get such values out of the TMS via an API and then just do with the data

what you need.
