XECfgParm.dat File Parameters for Release 7.3

XECfgParm.dat File Parameters

This chapter describes parameters found in the dat file XECfgParm.dat. This includes different file descriptions for the Release 7.3 and 7.4 XECfgParm.dat files, with the information for the more current release presented first. This information is not provided for users to edit the file. Rather, it is because these parameters are used throughout the Media Gateway Controller network element and this chapter enables users to better understand what these parameters are and how they are used.

XECfgParm.dat parameters are used by every process of the MGC network element. Parameters take the following syntax:

facilityName.parameterName = parameterValue

Valid facility names are:

• almM---Alarm Manager

• amDmpr---Alarm / Measurement Dumper

• cdrDmpr---CDR Dumper

• cfgM---Configuration Manager

• engine---Call processing engine

• foverd---Failover Daemon

• ioChanCtl---Controls all channel controllers

• ioChanMgr---I/O Channel Managers

• MML---MML

• mmSAgt---Measurement Manager SNMP Agent

• OPERSAGT---Operational SNMP Agent

• pom---Provisioning Object Manager

• procM---Process Manager

• PROVSAGT---Provisioning SNMP Agent

• replicator---Replicator

If no match is found for a facility-specific parameter, the file is searched for a match on the default facility.

XECfgParm.dat File Parameters for Release 7.4

The XECfgParm.dat file configuration parameters for Release 7.4 are presented alphabetically in Table 4-1.

This list of parameters is provided as a reference. Do not edit any parameters that are not listed in the Cisco Media Gateway Controller Software Release 7 Installation and Configuration Guide unless instructed by Cisco technical support, or your system might not work as intended.

Table 4-1: XECfgParm.dat File Configuration Parameters for Release 7.4

Configuration Parameter	Definition
*.autonomous	Enables a process, for example the engine, to be started without the system. Default: false Note Do not change this value.
*.CDBOutputSel	Specifies ouput format for certain CDB Tag information fields. If no value is available, the module defaults output to the ANSI format for the affected tag fields. Values: AnsiCDB = North American ItuCDB = European CustCDB = Custom Default: AnsiCDB
*.chkPtPort	Port number used between peer components or processes for check-pointing. Value: Any unused port number. Default: 2001 Leave this value as the default. Note If you have two Cisco MGC hosts in a failover configuration, both fields in the XECfgParm.dat files should contain the same value.
*.dataDir	Location of the data directory. Default: ../var Note Do not change this value.
*.dataSourceName	Used by the MMDB to obtain the data source name for the ODBC connection. Default: howdydb Note Do not change this value.
*.debugLevel	Determines level of debugging detail if debugging is initiated. Default: high Note Do not change this value.
*.desiredPlatformState	Determines the desired platform state. Values: master, if you have two (active and standby) Cisco MGC hosts slave, if you have two (active and standby) Cisco MGC hosts standalone, if you have a single-host system Default: none Note The value used is site specific. For example, use the values master and slave if you have two (active and standby) Cisco MGC hosts. Enter standalone if you have a single-host system.
*.disableMeas	Disables the collection of measurement data. Values: true = disables data collection false = data is collected Default: false Note Do not change this value.
*.homeDirRoot	Location of the home directory. Default: /opt/CiscoMGC Note Do not change this value.
*.IP_Addr1	IP address of interface 1; used for signaling.
*.IP_Addr2	IP address of interface 2; used for signaling.
*.IP_Addr3	IP address of interface 3 (if installed); used for signaling.
*.IP_Addr4	IP address of interface 4 (if installed); used for signaling.
*.ipAddrLocalA	First local IP address; used for checkpointing and failover heartbeats if you have active/standby MGC hosts. Note This is typically the same value as *.IP_Addr1.
*.ipAddrLocalB	Second local IP address; used for checkpointing and failover heartbeats if you have active/standby MGC hosts. Note If your configuration does not use an external card, leave this setting as the default value, 0.0.
*.ipAddrPeerA	First corresponding peer IP address; used for checkpointing and failover heartbeats. Note If you have two Cisco MGC hosts in a failover configuration, this value is the IP address of the second host.
*.ipAddrPeerB	Second corresponding peer IP address; used for checkpointing and failover heartbeats. Note If your configuration does not use an external card, leave this setting as the default value, 0.0.
*.logDirectory	Location of the active and rotated log files. Default: ../var/log Note Make sure the log file has write permission for the LogServer.
*.logFileNamePrefix	Combined with the .log extension, defines the filename for log files. Default: platform Example: engine Note This setting can also redirect process messages from the default log file to a specified log file. For example, engine.logFileNamePrefix = engine instructs the log server to redirect messages from the engine process to the dedicated engine.log file. This functions with or without *.logDirectory.
*.logMsgDrop	Controls whether the log server drops debug-level messages when the UNIX domain socket used for log server communication is full. Values: true = debug messages are dropped false = debug messages are not dropped Default: true Note If you set this parameter to false for the engine and the engine logging level is Debug, the system can fail at high call rates.
*.logPrio	Defines the initial default logging level used by logging clients when sending messages to the logging server. Use the set-log MML command to change logging levels after installation. You can specify different logging levels for each process. For example, engine.logPrio = Info Note This setting is the only way to modify the logging level of the current MML process. The set-log command does not affect current MML process logging levels. Values: Debug---This priority is used only for detailed debugging messages. Logging at this priority is not recommended during production because this causes a large volume of messages to be logged, which degrades system performance and can cause failover problems. Trace---These messages capture protocol traffic. This priority is used for debugging. Info---These messages indicate an operation that is proceeding as expected. Warning---These messages indicate a problem exists that does not prevent the system from operating. This is the normal, default logging level for production. Error---These messages indicate an unexpected error that is recoverable but degrades performance. Critical---These messages indicate errors so severe that a process cannot continue operating. Default: Warning Note Do not change this value unless you are debugging.
*.LongCallTime	Monitors call length and sets the system to trigger an alarm when a call length reaches a certain level. Value: Any integer. Default: 21600000 milliseconds (6 hours) Note Typically, leave this value as the default. You can change it, if necessary, based on billing requirements.

For example, 20% means that 1 out of 5 new calls are rejected at this level. Value: 0 to 100 percent Default: 25 percent
*.Ovl2AbateThresh	Controls engine overload levels. This setting depends on the maximum call rate (95% CPU utilization) of your environment. If the Ovl2OnsetThreshold is reached, raising an alarm, the Ovl2RejectPercent action abates until this threshold value is reached, clearing the alarm. Value: Use the following formula, where X = calls per second and Y = messages per call: *.Ovl2AbateThresh = (XY * 0.7) Default: 910 Note This value must be less than Ovl2OnsetThresh.

*.Ovl2RejectPercent	Controls engine overload levels. This setting depends on the maximum call rate (95% CPU utilization) of your environment. A percentage of new calls is rejected at this level. For example, 20% means that 1 out of 5 new calls are rejected at this level. Value: 0 to 100 percent Default: 50 percent
*.Ovl3AbateThresh	Controls engine overload levels. This setting depends on the maximum call rate (95% CPU utilization) of your environment.

foverd.statusRptInterval	Time interval in milliseconds that governs the frequency with which the failover daemon logs statistics on the different connections and any failures it encountered exchanging messages with its peer. Logs are created in the log directory. Default: 600000 milliseconds (10 minutes)

logger.fileRotateSize	Triggers a file rotation based on the size of the active file. A file rotation triggered by this parameter also resets logger.fileRotateInterval timer. Default: 100 (megabytes) Note The file size may grow somewhat larger than this prameter indicates due to the verbosity of the logging levels currently in effect.
