Looking for CUCM Cluster Information via AXL API

[caten]

I am looking to gather CUCM information, specifically IP addresses of nodes in the cluster via AXL API. I know this is possible via SNMP, but we have seen ccmTable show improper information in the past. Running a query against the processnode table shows server name, which is generally the IP address, but I would like to find the field specifically associated with IP address rather than server name. Does anyone know of a way to get this?

Thanks!

Hi Cole,

You can use RisReport to get all IPs address in the CUCM. The url for RisReport is

URL = https://YourCUCMIP:8443/realtimeservice/services/RisPort

Example:

   .............

   .............

   //You need to set SOAPACTION  (SOAPAction, http://schemas.cisco.com/ast/soap/action/#RisPort#SelectCmDevice)

   //

   .............

   .............

   <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">

   <soapenv:Body>

   <ns1:SelectCmDevice xmlns:ns1="http://schemas.cisco.com/ast/soap/" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">');

   <CmSelectionCriteria href="#id0"/>');

   </ns1:SelectCmDevice>');

   <multiRef xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:ns2="http://schemas.cisco.com/ast/soap/" id="id0" soapenc:root="0" soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xsi:type="ns2:CmSelectionCriteria">');

   <MaxReturnedDevices xsi:type="xsd:unsignedInt">200</MaxReturnedDevices>');

   <Class xsi:type="xsd:string">Phone</Class>');

   <Model xsi:type="xsd:unsignedInt">255</Model>');

   <Status xsi:type="xsd:string">Registered</Status>');

   <NodeName xsi:type="xsd:string" xsi:nil="true"/>');

   <SelectBy xsi:type="xsd:string">Name</SelectBy>');

   <SelectItems soapenc:arrayType="ns2:SelectItem[1]" xsi:type="soapenc:Array">');

   if AIPAddress <> '' then

       <item><Item> + AIpAddress + </Item></item>  //If you want to find a particular IP address

   else

       <item><Item>*</Item></item>                         //Find all IPs

   //

   </SelectItems>

   </multiRef>

   </soapenv:Body>

   </soapenv:Envelope>

   ......

   Hope that would help you.

The Risport SOAP API is good for getting the IP address of phone devices (and some other things like CTI apps/gateways), however I don't believe that CUCM nodes are on the list.

In general, the host name in the process node table will either be an IP address (in which case you have the answer immediately) or a host name, in which case it is generally assumed that DNS will be the source of the host's actual (possibly varying) IP address.  I imagine the best way to get the IP address from a CUCM host name is via a DNS lookup API (i.e. specific to your app's platform/OS.)
