After completing its discovery, VoIP Availability Manager creates an instance of the VoipPerformanceManager class to discover and monitor VoIP Performance Manager applications in the managed environment. The instance is a VoIP Performance Manager application known as the VoIP Performance Manager managing node. This application is represented as a VoipPerformanceManager object in VoIP Availability Manager’s topology, and the object’s Type attribute is set to Manager.
Then, VoIP Availability Manager begins processing performance-related data from VoIP Performance Manager. Specifically, the VoIP Performance Manager Integration Pack extracts the performance data from traps and uses it to update new performance-related attributes in the following classes of the VoIP Availability Manager data model:
-
CallManager (Cisco)
-
ConvergedCallManager (Avaya)
-
DS1Service (Avaya)
-
GatewayService (Avaya, Cisco, Nortel)
-
H323GateKeeper (Avaya)
-
H323Service (Cisco)
-
MediaProcessor (Avaya)
-
MediaResourceAggregate (Cisco)
-
SignalingService (Nortel)
-
VoipCluster (Avaya, Cisco, Nortel)
If necessary, VoIP Availability Manager also creates a two-way Monitors/MonitoredBy relationship between the object and the VoipPerformanceManager managing node object.
