Troubleshooting Billing Alarms
Billing Partition Disk Usage Minor Threshold Exceeded—Billing (2)
The Billing Partition Disk Usage Minor Threshold Exceeded alarm (minor) indicates that a billing
partition disk usage minor threshold crossing has occurred. The primary cause of the alarm is that 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 minor
threshold (default value = 70%) has been exceeded. Some fluctuation in disk usage is to be expected as
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 call volume, and then step downward
(CRITICAL to MAJOR to MINOR) when call volume slows. To correct the primary cause of the alarm,
monitor the alarm. The read should catch up to write within a few minutes, and the alarm should not
remain active. 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.
For additional troubleshooting information, from the UNIX prompt collect
df -k

subscribe alarm-report
command. To obtain a summary,
use the

the alarm does not clear (or step down to a reduced level) in a few minutes, contact Cisco TAC for
assistance.
