Cms.Monitoring

Cms.Monitoring is a .Net Core solution consisting of two projects:

• Cms.Monitoring.Agent is a console application which communicates with the Cisco Meeting Server API to retrieve the mediaProcessingLoad, call, alarm, and database status data and writes it to a SQLite database.
• Cms.Monitoring.Web is a ASP.NET Core application which represents the data saved by the Agent using Chart.js to display the data in a graph.

Installation

The agent depends on the Cms.Lib project found here Cms.Lib
