Overview

Sample scripts demonstrating usage of various Cisco CUCM Serviceability APIs using Python and the Zeep SOAP library.

https://developer.cisco.com/site/sxml/

Available samples

• risport70_selectCmDevice.py - Demonstrates querying for all device registrations using Risport (<selectCmDevice>)

• perfmonPort_collect_counter_data.py - Demonstrates retrieving and parsing performance counter data via the Perfmon <perfmonCollectCounterData> request

• services_getProductInformationList.py - Use Control Center Services to retrieve a list of the installed Products and versions (<getProductInformationList>)

• perfmonPort_collectSession_data.py - (Mac/Linux only) Uses Perfmonport to start a collection session, add example counters, then periodically retrieve/parse the results (<perfmonOpenSession>, <perfmonAddCounter>,<perfmonCollectCounterData>)

• logCollection_GetOneFile.py - Performs a listing of log files available for a specific service (Cisco Audit Logs), retrieves the contents of the latest file, then parses/prints a few lines of the results (<selectLogFiles>, <GetOneFile>)

• services_soapGetServiceStatus.py - Performs a <soapGetServiceStatus> request using the Zeep SOAP library.

• services_doControlServices.py - Performs a <soapDoControlServices> request using the Zeep SOAP library,
  periodically checks the status using <soapGetServiceStatus> and parses/prints the results in a simple table output.

Tested using:

• Ubuntu 21.04 / Python 3.9.5
• Mac OS 11.4 / Python 3.9.6

Getting started

• Install Python 3

  (On Windows, choose the option to add to PATH environment variable)

• Clone this repository:

  git clone https://www.github.com/CiscoDevNet/serviceability-python-zeep-samples
  cd serviceability-python-zeep-samples

• (Optional) Create/activate a Python virtual environment named venv:

  python3 -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate

• Install needed dependency packages:

  pip install -r requirements.txt

• Open the project in Visual Studio Code:

  code .

• Rename the file .env.example to .env and edit to specify your CUCM address and Serviceability API user credentials

• The Serviceability SOAP API WSDL files for CUCM v12.5 are included in this project. If you'd like to use a different version, replace the files in schema/ with the versions from your CUCM, which can be retrieved at:

  • CDRonDemand: https://{cucm}/CDRonDemandService2/services/CDRonDemandService?wsdl

  • Log Collection: https://{cucm}:8443/logcollectionservice2/services/LogCollectionPortTypeService?wsdl

  • PerfMon: https://{cucm}:8443/perfmonservice2/services/PerfmonService?wsdl

  • RisPort70: https://{cucm}:8443/realtimeservice2/services/RISService70?wsdl

  • Control Center Services: https://{cucm}:8443/controlcenterservice2/services/ControlCenterServices?wsdl

  • Control Center Services Extended: https://{cucm}:8443/controlcenterservice2/services/ControlCenterServicesEx?wsdl

Hints

• You can get a 'dump' of an API WSDL to see how Zeep interprets it, for example by running (Mac/Linux):

  python -mzeep schema/PerfmonService.wsdl > PerfmonServiceWsdl.txt

  This can help with identifying the proper object structure to send to Zeep

• Elements which contain a list, such as:

  <members>
      <member>
          <subElement1/>
          <subElement2/>
      </member>
      <member>
          <subElement1/>
          <subElement2/>
      </member>
  </members>

  are represented a little differently than expected by Zeep. Note that <member> becomes an array, not <members>:

  {
      'members': {
          'member': [
              {
                  'subElement1': 'value',
                  'subElement2': 'value'
              },
                              {
                  'subElement1': 'value',
                  'subElement2': 'value'
              }
          ]
      }
  }
