Enable Syslog Support from Director to an External Server

WHAT IS IT

Release 6.4 enables the system logs files to be sent to the syslog server from Cisco Vision Director. We added a new configuration property to set in System Configuration interface. The default for this property is “false.” After you configure Director to send the syslog files, set up the external server to receive the files from Cisco Vision Director.

WHY USE IT

To support system log events to downstream targets.

WHERE TO CONFIGURE IT

1. Click Configuration > System Configuration > Dynamic Signage Director Setting > Syslog Configuration.

2. Select Enable Syslog (Figure 6).

3. Click Edit. The Edit Configuration Setting dialog box appears.

4. Select “ true ” from the down arrow and click Save (Figure 7).

Figure 6 Enable Syslog Property

Figure 7 Set the Enable Syslog Property

Cisco Vision Director forwards the following system log files to the NMS server:

■RFC5424: The latest format of the syslog message defined in RFC5424

■RFC5426: Transports the log through user datagram protocol (UDP)

Now that you have enabled the service, tell Director where to send the syslog files.

To set the syslog IP and Port address:

1. Click Syslog Server IP & port (Figure 8).

2. Click Edit. The Edit Configuration dialog box appears (Figure 9).

Figure 8 Set Syslog Server IP Address

Figure 9 Syslog Server IP & Port Property

3. Type the address in the Value field.

4. Click Save.

The IP address you set routes the syslog information from Cisco Vision Director to that server.

5. Verify the IP & Port address now appears in the field (Figure 8).

To set the ability for DMP system logs to get to Director:

1. Click Configuration > System Configuration > Dynamic Signage Director Setting > Syslog Configuration.

2. Select Enable DMP Syslog through Director property (Figure 10).

3. Click Edit. The Edit Configuration Setting dialog box appears.

4. Change the Value to true.

Figure 10 Enable DMP Syslog through Director Property

Syslog Support on the DMPs

WHAT IS IT

When you set Enable DMP Syslog to true, this command enables the system log files to be sent to the external syslog server, except for the DWS logs. The Configuration Property default in Cisco Vision Director is false.

WHY USE IT

To support system log files from the DMPs to the external syslog server.

WHERE TO CONFIGURE IT

1. Click Configuration > System Configuration > Global DMP Settings > Networking.

2. Select Enable DMP Syslog.

3. Click Edit (Figure 11). The Edit Configuration Setting dialog box appears (Figure 12).

Figure 11 Enable DMP Syslog Support

Figure 12 Set Enable DMP Syslog Property

4. Set the Value to true. Click Save.

Note: After enabling this property, reboot the DMPs.

When you start or stop service of the Syslog, the log files start over, meaning the history is lost. The purging and disposal functionality of older log files remains the same.

For the system log files to be sent to the remote server, configure the Syslog Server IP setting in the Director UI.

To set a syslog server IP address:

5. Click Configuration > System Configuration > Global DMP Settings > Networking.

6. Select Syslog Server IP & Port.

7. Click Edit (Figure 13). The Edit Configuration Setting dialog box appears (Figure 14).

Figure 13 Syslog Server IP from the DMPs

Figure 14 Set Syslog Server IP & Port Address from the DMP

8. Type the address in the Value field.

9. Click Save.

The IP address you set routes the syslog information from DMPs to that external server.

Verify the IP address now appears in the field.

Note: For the diagnostic web server logs to be sent to the DMPs, you must set the Enable DWS property to yes (Figure 15).

Figure 15 Enable DWS for the DMPs

Note: Reboot the DMP(s) to take effect.

USB and SD Card Restrictions on DMPs

WHAT IS IT

Release 6.4 introduces the ability to enable or disable the USB or SD card on groups or a single DMP using a new command in Device Management. For the command to work, we added a new registry to set in the System Configuration interface. The default is USB/SD card enabled.

Note: The CV-HD2 DMP has a micro SD card and this command is not supported.

WHY USE IT

Quickly enable or disable large groups or a single DMP with a quick command.

WHERE TO CONFIGURE IT

To set the Compliance Value to Enable USB/SD card registry:

1. Click Configuration > System Configuration > Global DMP Settings > Networking (Figure 16).

Figure 16 Enable USB/SD Card Registry

2. Click the Enable USB/SD Card property.

3. Click Edit. The Edit – Configuration Setting dialog box appears (Figure 17).

4. Set the Value to Yes.

5. Click Save.

Figure 17 Enable USB/SD Card on the DMPs

This sets the compliance value to enable the USB/SD cards on all the DMPs, making them able to accept a Command from Device Management.

To enable the USB/SD Cards on specific DMPs:

1. Click Device Management and navigate to a DMP in the folders such as Zones and Groups.

2. Select the DMPs on which you want to act.

3. Click the down arrow in the Action Box. Scroll to the bottom of the list (Figure 18).

Figure 18 Device Management Interface

4. Click Enable USB or Disable USB.

5. Click Play (Send Command). The Send Command dialog box appears telling you how many DMPs are selected and that action will execute.

Note: When you run the Enable or Disable the USB/SD Card command, the selected DMPs reboot.

6. Click OK to execute command.

Check the enable/disable status of your command in the Compliance tab.

7. With a DMP selected in the list above, click Compliance. Verify the setting and values match (Figure 19).

If the values do not match, Director notifies you that you are non-compliant for that DMP.

Figure 19 Check Compliance Values

Note: The Value on the Device field is the individual DMP value. The Required Value field comes from the global setting. If they don’t match, a pale red highlighted region shows in the Compliance tab. The global setting only takes effect if you provision the DMPs. If individual DMP USB setting is changed in Device Management, the compliance value would not change immediately. Execute a Get Status (Figure 18) command so the DMP gets the latest compliance value.

Feature Updates

Default Background Image displays for 10-15 seconds only

The “Default DMP Image” displays for about 10 seconds for the following:

■After a DMP reboot

■When a script has started

■When a script has stopped

■When the VM is Down or powered Off

TIP: If the requirement is to have a static image displayed permanently when no script is running, we recommend that you set up a DMP as decoder with the “Display Streaming” feature configured. This allows you to configure a script applied to this DMP, with a playlist containing the static image you would want to have displayed. This static image will then be multicast streamed out and can be setup as a default channel. This will automatically display when there is no script running.

TV On/Off Command Adjustment

Using Script Management, we recommend you run a TV On/Off script state / action twice with an interval of 10 seconds or more, to see the improved/optimal response on TVs (specifically when SV4k/Series 2 DMPs are used) for TV On/Off Operation. Sometimes, the TV On/Off commands are dishonored/missed by TVs. Running the script twice increases success rate.

Key Considerations for This Release

Note: This section provides a highlight of several important considerations for Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director Release 6.4. Read the entire Release Note to obtain all relevant information for this release.

IMPORTANT: Release 6.3 removed the mandatory need to have an Adobe Flash-compatible browser to use Cisco Vision Director. Adobe stopped distributing and updating Flash Player after December 31, 2020. Update to at least Release 6.3 no later than the end of 2020 calendar year.

https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html

Also, here’s a link to a field notice:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/field-notices/720/fn72069.html

IMPORTANT: We removed the switch import capability in Release 6.3 because the switches that Cisco Vision Director supported in the past no longer work when security updates were applied on their firmware. We are exploring similar functionality for newer switches / firmware in a future release.

Internationalization and Localization

Caution: A Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director system that is using language support from Release 6.4, will lose that support when upgraded until language packs for the new release are available and installed.

Internationalization (i18n)

Internationalization (known as i18n) support refers to the software infrastructure that is designed to accommodate multiple language translations (localization) without requiring additional engineering changes to that software.

The Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director Release 6.4 software supports i18n for the following general areas of the solution:

■Dynamic Menu Board application

■IP Phone user interface

■Software Manager

■TV user interface

Localization (L10n)

Localization (known as L10n) refers to the implementation of the specific regional language translation support within a software interface that has been designed for i18n. English is the default language.

Note: Certain locales are not supported, such as right-to-left languages.

Language Packs for Localization

Note: Language packs are release-specific. They follow the release of a Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director version. Install available language packs after you install or upgrade to a release. Language packs are posted in the same download location on cisco.com as the release.

Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director Release 6.4 provides the flexibility to upload and install only the specific language(s) that you want to support through the independent installation of Language Packs. The upload and installation of the language packs is performed using the Software Manager from the Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director main menu. For more information about how to install language packs, see the Cisco Vision Software Installation and Upgrade Guide: Dynamic Signage Director Release 6.4.

The supported languages in Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director Release 6.4.0-183 and later are:

■Deutsch (de_DE)

■English (en_US). This is the default locale in all Cisco Vision Dynamic Signage Director releases.

■French (fr_FR)

■Japanese (jp_JN)

■Portuguese (pt_BR)

■Russian (ru_RU)

■Simplified Chinese (zh_CN)

■Spanish (es_ES)

■Swedish (sv_SE)

■Traditional Chinese (zh_TW)

■Turkish (tr_TR)

For more information about requirements and restrictions in configuring localization in Cisco StadiumVision Director, including IP phone support, see the Cisco StadiumVision Director Localization Guide.
