Product Overview
Cisco Unified Service Monitor (Service Monitor), a product from the Cisco Unified Communications
Management Suite, receives and analyzes data from these sources when they are installed in your voice
network and configured properly:
•
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified Communications Manager) clusters—Retain Call
Detail Records (CDRs) and Call Management Records (CMRs). CDRs include Mean Opinion Score
(MOS) values that were calculated on IP phones and voice gateways using the Cisco Voice
Transmission Quality (CVTQ) algorithm.
For Unified Communications Manager versions that Service Monitor supports, see Cisco Unified
Service Monitor 8.6 Compatibility Matrix. For information about configuring Unified
Communications Manager clusters to work with Service Monitor, see User Guide for Cisco Unified
Service Monitor.
•
Sensors—Network Analysis Modules (NAMs) and Cisco 1040 Sensors (Cisco 1040s)—Compute
MOS for each RTP stream. Service Monitor obtains data from sensors every 60 seconds.
Service Monitor compares MOS against a threshold value—default or user-specified—for the codec in
use. When MOS drops below the threshold, Service Monitor generates SNMP traps and sends them to
up to four recipients. Service Monitor stores the data that it obtains in the database, where it is available
for display on Service Monitor reports. Service Monitor purges the database daily to maintain a
configurable number of days of data. (For more information, see the online help.)
If you configure Cisco Unified Operations Manager (Operations Manager) as a trap receiver for
Service Monitor, Operations Manager can further analyze, display, and act on the traps that Service
Monitor generates. Operations Manager can generate service quality events, display and track these
events on a real-time dashboard, and display and store event history. You can configure additional event
settings on Operations Manager to alert you if MOS drops below a threshold or if too many (configurable
number) service quality events occur during a period of time (configurable number of minutes). In
addition, you can configure Operations Manager to send notifications by e-mail, SNMP trap, and syslog
message.

2. While configuring the page file, you should set both the minimum and maximum file size parameters to same size. Page size also needs to be
changed from automatic to manual. This ensures that Windows creates a page file of the required size.
3. Do not install Service Monitor on a FAT file system
4. You must install Service Monitor on a dedicated system. Do not install Service Monitor on a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or Backup
Domain Controller (BDC). Do not install Service Monitor in an encrypted directory. Service Monitor does not support directory encryption.
5. Immediately following installation, the TCP/IP stack should be hardened to avoid denial of service attacks. Ensure these steps are taken before
using the product.
—Apply Windows security patches. See Microsoft Security Updates for Denial of Service Attacks for details. The system that you use for
your Operations Manager server should meet all security guidelines that Microsoft recommends for Windows 2003 or 2008 Server.
—Specifically, the TCP/IP stack should be hardened to avoid denial of service attacks. Refer to the section "Security Consideration for
Network Attacks" on page 121 of the The Windows Server 2003 - Security Guide, v2.1 which can be downloaded from the NSA website.
—On the Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition or 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition server, block remote access to all TCP/UDP ports
except for those ports used by Operations Manager required for external access.
6. The default locale for your Windows operating system must be set to US-English.
7. Windows Terminal Services is supported in Remote Administration mode only. Use of Windows Terminal Services or Remote Desktop and
Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to remotely control the server is not recommended for performing day-to-day operations (for example,
running reports, keeping dashboards open, and so on).

VMware Guidelines
Service Monitor supports VMware ESX 3.5 and ESXi 4.x. Service Monitor must have the same system
resources available to it inside the virtualization environment that it has for a standard (nonvirtual)
installation. When determining the performance of Service Monitor in your virtual setup, you must take
into account that the VMware instance will use some system resources that would normally be available
to Service Monitor in a standard installation. Additional requirements for running Service Monitor in a
virtualization environment might vary with your environment and system load. For more information,
see Best Practices for Cisco Unified Communication Suite on Virtualization at this URL:
The following configurations are supported for Service Monitor in a virtual environment:
•
•

When setting up Service Monitor in a VMware environment, keep in mind the following guidelines:
•
•
Resources must be reserved at 100% of requirements for the virtual machine.
To use a licensed Service Monitor in a VMware environment, you must configure your virtual
machine with a static MAC address.
Note
You can run Service Monitor in Evaluation mode with a dynamic MAC address. However,
before you can run a licensed copy of Service Monitor, you must set up a static MAC
address.
To set up a static MAC address, do the following:
Step 1
Step 2
Step 3
Step 4
Step 5
Step 6
Power down the virtual machine.
In the Inventory panel, select the virtual machine.
Click the Summary tab and then click Edit Settings.
In the Hardware list, select Network Adapter.
For MAC address, select Manual.
Change the current MAC address of the virtual machine to a static MAC address in the following range:
00:50:56:00:00:00 to 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF.
When assigning a static MAC address, we recommend choosing a complex address. An example of a
complex MAC address is 00:50:56:01:3B:9F. A less complex MAC address is 00:50:56:11:11:11,
because of the repeating ones (1).

•
Set the correct date and time on the system. For more information, see Common Services online
help.
•
•
Verify that the drive that you choose to install Service Monitor on is an NTFS file system.
Verify that the fully qualified domain name of the system on which Service Monitor is installed is
Domain Name System (DNS) resolvable. The IP address must be resolvable to the DNS, and the
DNS must be resolvable to the IP address (forward and reverse lookup, in DNS terms). To check
name resolution on the Service Monitor server, in a command prompt, run the command
NMSROOT\bin>smNameRes.exe.
Note
NMSROOT is the directory where Service Monitor is installed on your system. If you
selected the default directory during installation, it is C:\PROGRA~1\CSCOpx.
•
•
Disable the virus scan software on your system. You can restart it after the installation is complete.
Disable Cisco Security Agent if it is running on your system. You can restart it after the installation
is complete.

Chapter 2 Installing, Uninstalling, and Upgrading Service Monitor
Preparing to Install Service Monitor
Read through the following installation notes:
•
Service Monitor is installed in the default directory SystemDrive:\Program Files\CSCOpx
where SystemDrive is the Windows operating system installed directory.
If you select another directory during installation, the application is installed in that directory.
The destination folder should not contain the following special characters:
! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + | } { " [ ] ; ' / ? < > , . ` =
If errors occur during installation, check the installation log file in the root directory on the drive
where the operating system is installed. Each installation creates a new log file; for example:
C:\Ciscoworks_install_YYYYMMDD_hhmmss.log, where YYYYMMDD denotes the year, month and
date of installation and hhmmss denotes the hours, minutes and seconds of installation.
For example:
C:\Ciscoworks_install_20060721_182205.log
•
•
You can click Cancel at any time to end the installation. However, any changes to your system will
not be undone. For example, if any new files were installed or if there were any changes to the
system files, you need to manually clean up the installation directories.
To monitor Service Monitor using a third-party SNMP management tool, see Configuring Your
Gathering Information to Provide During Installation
During installation, you will need to set passwords for various user accounts and for the database. For
more information about the user accounts and for password rules, see Password Information, page A-7.
You might need to supply mail settings—such as HTTPS port—and security certificate information. For
more information, see User Inputs for Installation, Reinstallation, and Upgrade, page A-1. You will also
need to supply the license file location or select Evaluation only. For more information, see Licensing,
Ensuring That Required Ports Are Free

Upgrade Paths
You can upgrade from Service Monitor 8.0, Service Monitor 8.0.1, Service Monitor 8.5 to Service
Monitor 8.6.
To save existing call data so that you can continue to run reports against it, you must migrate the call
data before you start the upgrade. For more information, see Planning for Data Migration and Migrating
During the upgrade, configuration data—TFTP servers, trap receivers, credentials, and so on—is
automatically migrated.
Upgrading from Enterprise Network Deployment mode to MSP Network Deployment mode is not
supported. To change from MSP mode to Enterprise mode, you must uninstall Service Monitor and
freshly install it again.
Backing Up Service Monitor Files and Database
The upgrade procedure does not back up your system. You should perform a backup before you upgrade.
Step 1
Back up the Service Monitor database:
a. Log in to the system where Service Monitor is installed.
b. Stop the daemon manager using this command:
net stop crmdmgtd
c. From NMSROOT\databases\qovr, copy the files qovr.db and qovr.log to a tape, an external drive, or
a network directory (not a local directory). Doing so ensures data integrity in case of hardware
failure and ensures that backup data does not exhaust local disk space.
Note
Ensure that you know the qovr database password. In case you do not know the password,
modify the password before you proceed. For instructions, see “Changing the Password for
d. Restart the daemon manager using the following command:
net start crmdmgtd
Note
To restore the database, perform steps 1a and 1b, restore the saved files, and perform step 1c.
Step 2
Back up Service Monitor configuration data using the Common Services backup described in the
Common Services online help.
The Common Services online help is only available through the Common Services pages, which are
located in the Administration tab.

Chapter 2 Installing, Uninstalling, and Upgrading Service Monitor
Preparing to Upgrade to Service Monitor 8.6
To access the Common Services online help, you can use the following procedure:
1. Select Administration > Server Administration (Common Services) > Security. The Setting up
Security page appears.
2. Click Help. The online help opens.
Note
You must restore the Service Monitor configuration data and additionally restore the database.
To restore both the Service Monitor database and configuration data requires two steps: restoring the
database manually and restoring the configuration data (using the procedures referenced in Step 2 b).
Understanding the Effect an Upgrade Has on Your Data
To migrate report data (also know as call data), you must run the call migration tool before you start the
upgrade to Service Monitor 8.6. For more information, see Planning for Data Migration and Migrating
When you upgrade to Service Monitor 8.6:
•
•
Service Monitor configuration data—such as credentials and threshold settings—is retained.
Common Services data is retained.
Planning for Data Migration and Migrating Call Data Before the Upgrade
Migrating call data is optional. However, to keep the data, you must migrate it before you start the
upgrade to Service Monitor 8.6. You can find the call migration tool in the zip file that contains the
Service Monitor product on Cisco.com.
Note
When you perform a data migration using the CMT tool, and an upgrade from Service Monitor 8.0 to
Service Monitor 8.6, the grading of the previous calls will be Unknown after the upgrade, in CDR,
CVTQ, and Sensor reports. The reason is that the grading logic is absent in 8.0. Grading will work
properly for the new calls that are made.
Global MOS Threshold settings cannot be retained for upgrades from Service Monitor 8.0 to 8.6. Two
configurable MOS settings were introduced in Service Monitor 8.5, so the data was not available in 8.0.
To configure global MOS threshold settings after the upgrade is complete, select Administration >
Global > Threshold.
The README_QOVR_CMT.TXT. file that is included with the Call Migration Tool provides estimates
of the time that data migration takes and the disk space it uses. It also explains the effect that running
the tool has on Operations Manager and Service Statistics Manager, if they are installed in your network.
Step 1
Download the zip file (CUSM8_6.zip) that contains the Service Monitor product from Cisco.com. You
can navigate to the file as follows:
a. Go to this URL:

c. Click the Download Software link.
d. Follow the online instructions to select Cisco Unified Service Monitor 8.6 and download the zip file.
Extract the QOVR_CMT.zip file from the \install\CallMigrationTool folder in the CUSM8_6.zip file.
Step 2
Step 3
Extract the README_QOVR_CMT.TXT file from the QOVR_CMT.zip file and use the information in
it to plan for and execute the migration.
Deleting Cisco 1040 Configuration Files from TFTP Servers
We recommend that you delete existing Cisco 1040 configuration and binary image files from your
existing TFTP servers before you perform the upgrade. Delete the following files:
•
Cisco 1040 Sensor configuration files: One QOVDefault.CNF file and a QoVMACAddress.CNF file
for each Cisco 1040.
•
Binary image file: For example, SvcMonAA2_nn.img
Preventing Extra Processing After Upgrade
If you are monitoring calls from Unified Communications Manager 6.x or later, you should consider
that:
•
During the upgrade to Service Monitor 8.6, all processes are stopped. Service Monitor is not
available to receive data files from Unified Communications Manager 6.x or later.
•
After the upgrade completes:
–
Unified Communications Manager sends all backlogged data files to Service Monitor; this takes
time.
–
Service Monitor drops old files.
To avoid this processing, before you upgrade, you can:
•
Prevent Unified Communications Manager 7.x and later from sending backlogged data. To do so,
edit the billing server and uncheck the Resend on Failure check box. For more information, see
Unified Communications Manager Configuration in User Guide for Cisco Unified Service Monitor
8.6.
•
For Unified Communications Manager software releases earlier than 7.x, prevent them from sending
data by deleting the Service Monitor Application Billing Server from Unified Communications
Manager and restarting the CDR Repository Manager service. See Removing Service Monitor from
Communications Manager and restart the CDR Repository Manager service again after the upgrade
completes.
Removing Service Monitor from Unified Communications Manager
This procedure is recommended if you are performing an upgrade to Service Monitor 8.6 and you are
monitoring calls from Unified Communications Manager 6.x.

Configuring Your System for SNMP Queries
Service Monitor implements the system application MIB. If you want to use a third-party SNMP
management tool to make SNMP queries against the server where Service Monitor is installed, Windows
SNMP service must be installed.
Note
To improve security, the SNMP set operation is not allowed on any object ID (OID) in the system
application MIB. After installation of Service Monitor, you should modify the credentials for Windows
SNMP service to not use a default or well-known community string.
You can install Windows SNMP service before or after you install Service Monitor. Use this procedure
to determine whether Windows SNMP service is installed.
Step 1
Verify that Windows SNMP service is installed on the server where you will install Service Monitor. To
do so:
a. Open the Windows administrative tool Services window.
b. Verify the following:
–
SNMP Service is displayed on the Windows administrative tool Services window; if so,
Windows SNMP service is installed.
–
SNMP service status is Started; if so, SNMP service is running.
Step 2
If Windows SNMP service is not installed, install it.

Configuring Users (ACS and Local RBAC)
What Service Monitor users can see and do is determined by the user role. Service Monitor supports two
Common Services modes for authenticating users:
•
Local RBAC—You select a supported login module to provide authentication and authorization. By
default, Common Services uses the Local login module to assign roles, along with privileges
associated with those roles. For more information, refer to Configuring Users Using the Common
•
ACS—In ACS mode, authentication and authorization is provided by Cisco Secure Access Control
Server (ACS). Cisco Secure ACS specifies the privileges associated with roles, ensuring that users
perform only certain tasks.
To use ACS mode, Cisco Secure ACS must be installed on your network and Service Monitor must
be registered with Cisco Secure ACS. For more information, see Security Configuration with

Cisco.com to continue to use the product after the 90-day evaluation period. For details, see Licensing
Before expiry of the evaluation license, you will see the following prompt:
This software is provided for evaluation purposes only and will expire in XX days. If this
is not an evaluation copy, please click this link for information about obtaining a valid
purchase license. Click here for current licensing information. Otherwise, please contact
your Cisco representative for purchasing information.
This message is displayed as an alert after you log in and try to access Service Monitor. If you fail to
upgrade your evaluation license, all Service Monitor processes will run, but access to Service Monitor
functionality will be prohibited.
Licensing Process
The Service Monitor license file includes support for a set number of phones. You can purchase
incremental licenses to support additional phones and monitor up to a maximum number of phones with
a single Service Monitor. For each incremental license that you purchase, you will receive a PAK, and
you must use that PAK to obtain a license file.
This process applies to new installations and license upgrades:
1. Obtain a Product Authorization Key (PAK)—The PAK is used to register Service Monitor, and any
additional phone support that you might purchase for Service Monitor, on Cisco.com, and it contains
2. Obtain a license file—A license file is sent to you after you register the PAK on Cisco.com. See
3. Copy the license file to the server where Service Monitor is to be installed. If Service Monitor is
already installed and you are upgrading your license file, you must register the license file with

Licensing Process
Obtaining a PAK
The PAK is located on the software claim certificate. The software claim certificate is available in one
of these ways:
•
•
If your order included hardware, a printed software claim certificate is included in the package.
If your order did not include hardware, you can obtain the software claim certificate through the
eDelivery system; for information on eDelivery, see
Obtaining a License File
Note
If you plan to install Service Monitor on a VMware server, you must supply a static MAC address to
obtain a license file. Service Monitor does not work when a dynamic MAC address is configured for the
Step 1
Register the PAK and the MAC address of the system where Service Monitor is installed with Cisco.com
Cisco.com to log in.
Note
The MAC address is required because licensing uses node-locking technology. The license file
can only be used with the MAC address that you supply.
The license file will be e-mailed to you. After you obtain the license file, register the license with the
Service Monitor server.
Registering a License File with Service Monitor
Caution
This procedure registers a license even when, as a result, license size exceeds the maximum number of
phones that Service Monitor supports on a single server. When the number of phones in Service Monitor
exceeds the limit, data from additional phones is not collected or analyzed.
Step 1
Copy the license file to the Service Monitor server, into a directory with read permission for the
username casuser or the user group casuser.
Note
If you copy a folder that contains the license file to the Service Monitor server, be sure to provide
read permission for casuser on the folder as well as on the license file.
Step 2
Install the license:
a. Select Administration > Server Administration (Common Services) > Administration >
Licensing. The License Information page appears.

Security Configuration with Cisco Secure ACS
To configure Service Monitor to use Cisco Secure ACS for authentication and authorization, work
through these topics in order:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Cisco Secure ACS Support
Service Monitor supports the ACS mode of authentication and authorization. To use this mode, you must
have a Cisco Secure Access Control Server (ACS), installed in your network on a server separate from
the one where Service Monitor is installed. For the supported software version, see Table 1-1.
Service Monitor Integration Notes
Service Monitor (and Common Services) integrate with Cisco Secure ACS as shared profile components.
Multiple instances of the same application—for example, Service Monitor—can use the same Cisco
Secure ACS server for authentication and authorization.
When you register Cisco Unified Service Monitor (and Common Services) with Cisco Secure ACS, the
applications tasks—such as adding data source credentials to Service Monitor—and user roles—such as
Network Administrator—for the application are imported into Cisco Secure ACS.
You only need to register one instance of an application with Cisco Secure ACS for tasks and roles to be
imported. If you register an application a second time, any changes that you have made to role settings,
such as creating custom roles, are lost.

Common Services Local Login Module Authentication Roles
Note
The Service Monitor integration with Cisco Secure ACS does not enable you to selectively filter out
specific devices. For example, a user in a role that includes the task:
•
Data Source Credentials: add, edit and verify—Can add, edit, or verify credentials in
Service Monitor for any NAM or any Unified Communications Manager.
•
Cisco 1040: view details—Can view details from Service Monitor for any Cisco 1040.
Common Services Local Login Module Authentication Roles
Common Services login modules enable you to use a source other than the native mechanism for
authentication, that is the Common Services Local login module.
After you authenticate, authorization is controlled by your role. A role is a set of tasks that you have the
privilege to perform. By default, the Common Services Local login module authorization scheme has six
