Monitoring Scenarios
Component health alerts• Event Logs• Performance Counters
Dependency health monitoring• External dependencies• Internet Information Services (IIS) availability• CPU and memory usage of Lync Servers and
processes• Disk metrics
Call reliability alerts (CDR)• Directly from the Monitoring database• Tells you
• Why a call terminated• Why a user failed to connect a call
• Gives you the Diagnostics Header
Media quality alerts (QoE)• Directly from the monitoring database• Quality of Experience• Based on key metrics
• Jitter• Packet Loss• Latency
Synthetic Transactions• Test actual functionality with real users• Using test cmdlets• Run from Watcher Nodes
DemoLet’s take a look
Watcher Nodesare computers that periodically run Lync Server synthetic transactions
More control in Lync 2013• Run from various geographic locations• We got a cmdlet to choose scenarios
• New-CsWatcherNodeConfiguration
• Three types of scenarios• Default• Non-Default• Extended
Default Scenarios• Test-CsAddressBookService (ABS)• Test-CsAddressBookWebQuery (ABWQ)• Test-CsAVConference (AvConference)• Test-CsGroupIM (IM Conferencing)• Test-CsIM (P2P IM)• Test-CsP2PAV (P2PAV)• Test-CsPresence (Presence)• Test-CsRegistration
Non-default scenarios• Test-CsPstnPeerToPeerCall (PSTN)• Test-CsAVEdgeConnectivity• Test-CsDataConference (DataConference)• Test-CsExumConnectivity (ExumConnectivity)• Test-CsGroupIM –TestJoinLauncher (JoinLauncher)• Test-CsMCXP2PIM (MCXP2PIM)• Test-CsPersistentChatMessage (PersistentChatMessage)• Test-CsUnifiedContactStore (UnifiedContactStore)• Test-CsXmppIM (XmppIM)
Extended Scenarios• Test-CsPstnPeerToPeerCall (PSTN)• Can be run multiple times during each pass• Multiple voice routes
Test User Accounts• Do not need to represent actual people• Must be valid Active Directory accounts• Must be enabled for Lync Server 2013
• Have valid SIP addresses• Should be enabled for Enterprise Voice
DemoConfiguring Synthetic Transactions for Watcher Nodes
How to deploy for success?• Do one thing at a time• Implement Management Pack (MP) for Lync
• Tune it till it’s green
• Create a MP for overrides and customization• Tune your synthetic transactions
Key Takeaways• Monitoring Scenarios – Lync health at a glance• Watcher Nodes – Runs actual tests periodically• How to deploy for success? - Do one thing at a
time
