Discovery
and monitoring
The includes Avaya-specific probes that are activated when the starts. The probes analyze the unitary computer systems in the VoIP
environment to determine if Avaya communications elements exist on
them. In order for the probes to analyze the systems, all systems
hosting Avaya services and cards must be specified in a seed file
or discovered using
IP Availability Manager
's autodiscovery. When Avaya elements are discovered on
a device, further analysis is performed to determine exactly which
components are hosted on the given system. The Avaya-specific elements,
such as applications and services, are then added to the ’s topology.The Avaya element classes that are discovered by the are listed in “Avaya Enablement Pack object classes” on
page 22.
The discovery of IP phones need to be enabled
during configuration. By default, discovery for these devices is not
enabled. To do so, specify the settings in the BASEDIR/smarts/conf/voip/voip.conf
file, as described in the .
discovery starts after
IP Availability Manager
completes its discovery cycle. IP Availability Manager
uses
a seed file to perform discovery. All systems hosting Avaya services
and cards must be specified in the seed file used by IP Availability Manager
.
The provides detailed information
on discovery by the . The provides detailed information about creating
seed files.After discovery, the and monitor the status of the Avaya VoIP environment as
reported by the Avaya communications components. Events derived from traps and SNMP
polling, are analyzed and generate symptoms. “Discovering Elements and Monitoring Events”
on page 21 describes the events that may occur for each class.
