Monitoring for UDM Pro
- Chris Clark
Overview
Monitoring for UDM Pro is a new chargeable add on module for UDM Pro. Within UDM Pro you can see in the devices screen when the phone last checked in but that depend on the activity on the phone and the frequency of polling for that device. This is not a very accurate way of identifying availability nor does it indicate if the device has signed out. There is no alert sent to say when the device hasn’t been seen either.
This is where Monitoring for UDM Pro comes in. By selecting a UDM Pro Tag to monitor and setting a device not seen alert you can receive an email when the device fails to be found on the network.
IMPORTANT
Before starting all devices need to be enabled to use the the device REST API. For the REST API to work the default Admin password must be changed, in most cases you will have already changed the Admin password. To setup the device for REST API follow the instructions on the REST API for reboot page. The latest Polycom firmware requires the REST API to be enabled. BEFORE MONITORING WILL WORK the settings need to have been sent to the devices.
