Introduction

This document describes the procedure to create additional disk space in logging partition of Cisco Call Manager with High and Low WaterMark settings.

Prerequisites

Requirements

There are no specific requirements for this document.

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

- Cisco Call Manager version 10.0.1-10000-24

- Cisco Real-Time Monitoring Tool (RTMT) version 10.0(001)

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, ensure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Background Information

Tip: The information in this tech document also applies to adjust the watermark in RTMT for the Cisco IM and Presence Service Server.

Low WaterMark is a percentage value of the total logging disk space post which when you receive an alert, indicates the disk space is full by the configured percentage of Low WaterMark.

High WaterMark is a percentage value of the total logging disk space post which the older log files are purged.

High WaterMark Exceeded and Low WaterMark Exceeded are events that indicate the percentage of used disk space in the logging partition.

LogPartitionHighWaterMarkExceeded

This event indicates that the percentage of used disk space in the log partition has exceeded the configured High Watermark.

LogPartitionLowWaterMarkExceeded

This event indicates that the percentage of used disk space in the log partition has exceeded the configured Low WaterMark.

The threshold percentage value of both events could be configured in RTMT based on the requirement. By default, High WaterMark is set to 95% of the total logging partition and Low WaterMark is set to 90% of the total logging partition.

At times, a need arises for certain activities in the call manager to take place when there is insufficient space in the Logging Partition and additional space needs to be created. During such events, additional space could be created in the Logging Partition by adjusting the threshold values of High WaterMark and LowWaterMark, respectively.

When the threshold value of High WaterMark is lowered, it purges older log files, thereby creating additional disk space in the logging partition.

Procedure

Adjust Low WaterMark

Launch RTMT, and log in to the desired cluster. On the left pane, navigate to System > Tool > Alert Central.

On the right pane, under System Right, click LogPartitionLowWaterMarkExceeded > Set Alert/Properties.

Click Next.

By default, Low WaterMark is set to 90%.

Set theLow WaterMark to a lower value, based on your requirement and then click Next.

Click Next.

Click Save.

Adjust High WaterMark

When on the right pane, under System Right, click LogPartitionHighWaterMarkExceeded > Set Alert/Properties.

Click Next.

By default, High WaterMark is set to 95%.

Set the High WaterMark to a lower value, based on your requirement, and then click Next.

Click Next.

Click Save.

Verify

The additional disk space is created in the logging partition. After you adjust the High and Low WaterMarks, it can be verified through the Show Status command on the CLI on the Call Manager.
