DESCRIPTION

DATAWORDS
Disk Usage Percentage–TWO_BYTES
PRIMARY
CAUSE
Call detail records are accumulating on the disk associated with the billing database in the EMS. This
is because data is being written into the database faster than it is being read out of the database. The
major threshold (default value = 90%) has been exceeded.
PRIMARY
ACTION
Monitor this alarm. The read process should catch up to write process within a few minutes, and the
alarm should not remain active.
SECONDARY
CAUSE
Some fluctuation in disk usage is to be expected as the call volume rises and falls during the day.
Threshold crossings might step upward (from MINOR to MAJOR to CRITICAL) when there is a rapid
increase in the call volume, and then step downward (CRITICAL to MAJOR to MINOR) when the call
volume slows.
SECONDARY
ACTION
To monitor the alarm, use the
subscribe alarm-report
command. To obtain a summary, use the
report
alarm-summary
command. Verify that type = billing is entered in these commands.
TERNARY
ACTION
If the alarm does not clear (or step down to a reduced level) in a few minutes, contact Cisco TAC for
assistance.
