I'm looking for a way to discover the status of all phones in a CCM4.2 clust
er (primarily on/off hook, although information on who they're talking to, e
tc. would be great if available). Is this information just kept in memory on
 the server (i.e. inaccessi
ble from another program), in the main database somewhere, or is there anoth
er location this information is stored? Obviously, the quicker this informat
ion updates the better, but the delay can be as great as 15-20 seconds after
 the status change without
much of a problem. Does anyone know where I might be able to get this inform
ation?

Thanks in advance,

-James

How would you need this information, and do you need it for all phones at
once or just arbitrary endpoints? Attendant Console can show you line state
of a desired IP Phone on the system, although it doesn't show any call
details. The attendant just has to locate them in the directory.

The format the information is in is more or less irrelevant, as it's going t
o be going to another program, where I can have it parse whatever CCM will g
ive it.

I realize Attendant Console provides this information, but I need to get it 
another way so I can integrate that information with some other data. If I c
an use the UDP transmissions that AC puts out, that would work, but I'd need
 to know how the two commun
icate so I can "spoof" the fact that I'm not really an AC client. Does that 
make sense?

Look at the cisco Lines perfmon counter.  I'm not sure if it shows linestate
as much as the number of calls active.  It is organised by partition/dn, not
device.

give it.

I'm looking at it now, but it only appears to be tracking calls to voicemail
 ports (as does cisco Phones, which I thought might work, as well). Am I loo
king at the wrong counters?

Scratch that; wasn't looking at the server the phones are all registered to.

Thanks for the pointer in the right direction.
