Cisco: Contact Center Enterprise PowerPack Release Notes, version 103

Version 103 of the " Cisco: Contact Center Enterprise" PowerPack updates the PowerPack and all Dynamic Applications to support Python 3.11, adds a new credential example, and addresses an issue that caused snippet errors during discovery.

  • Minimum Required Skylar One (SL1) Version: 12.3.0

Before You Install or Upgrade

Before you install the " Cisco: Contact Center Enterprise" PowerPack, ensure that you are running version 12.3.0 or later of Skylar One.

For details on upgrading Skylar One, see the relevant Skylar One Platform Release Notes.

Installing or Upgrading the PowerPack

If you are currently using the Dynamic Applications in this PowerPack to monitor devices, collection errors might occur for one or two polling cycles while you install a new version. To prevent these errors, disable collection for the monitored devices before you complete the following steps. You can then re-enable collection after the installation completes.

To install this PowerPack:

  1. Search for and download the PowerPack from the PowerPacks page at the ScienceLogic Support Center (Skylar One > PowerPacks).
  2. In Skylar One, go to the PowerPack Manager page (System > Manage > PowerPacks).
  3. Click the Actions menu and select Import PowerPack. The Import PowerPack modal appears.
  4. Click Browse and go to the PowerPack file from step 1.
  5. Select the PowerPack file and click Import. The PowerPack Installer modal appears and displays a list of the PowerPack contents.
  6. Click Install. The PowerPack appears on the PowerPack Manager page.

By default, when you install a new version of a PowerPack, the new version overwrites all content in that PowerPack that has already been installed on the target system. To prevent the new PowerPack version from overwriting local changes to some commonly customized fields, use the Enable Selective PowerPack Field Protection setting in the Behavior Settings page (System > Settings > Behavior).

For more information about using the PowerPack, see the Monitoring Windows Systems with PowerShell manual.

Features

This release includes the following features:

  • Dynamic Applications to discover and monitor Cisco Unified Contact Center Enterprise (UCCE) devices
  • Device classes for each type of UCCE device that Skylar One monitors
  • Event policies and corresponding alerts that are triggered when UCCE devices meet certain status criteria

Enhancements and Issues Addressed

This release includes the following enhancements and addressed issues:

  • Updated the PowerPack and all Dynamic Applications to support Python 3.11.
  • Added the new "Cisco: CCE" universal credential template to use when creating REST credentials.
  • Updated the REST credential to a universal credential and added the new "Cisco: CCE Credential Example" credential, which has the "Cisco: CCE UCF" subtype.
  • Removed support for the Basic/Snippet credential from the PowerPack.
  • Added the new "Cisco: Contact Center Enterprise v103" execution environment.

Due to the updates to credentials in version 103 of the PowerPack, you need to update the credentials for any REST-based Dynamic Applications.

  • Addressed an issue with the "Cisco: ICM Version Discovery" snippet in the "Cisco: CCE Enhanced Performance Caching" Dynamic Application that caused snippet errors to occur during discovery. As part of this fix for this issue, a 10 second connection timeout was added. (Case: 00347600)
