VOSS Assurance Monitoring Overview
-------------------------------------

.. _21.1|VOSS-842:

Users with both VOSS-4-UC and VOSS Assurance deployed, can easily
enable monitoring of new UC applications from the VOSS-4-UC
administration portal.
The integration manages both onboarding and off-boarding
of assets to VOSS Assurance Aribitrator servers configured in VOSS-4-UC.
The UC apps are monitored by VOSS Assurance through the creation
of assets, probes and profiles.

The purpose of the feature is to automate the setup of assets and
related configuration for new and existing VOSS-4-UC
Customers and UC applications on VOSS Assurance.

With this feature, you can:

* :ref:`voss-assurance-arbitrators`: Set up VOSS Assurance arbitrators in VOSS-4-UC
* :ref:`concepts-onboard-voss-assurance-assets`: Onboard Assets: enable monitoring of
  Unified CM and Unity Connection clusters  on one or more VOSS Assurance arbitrator servers.
* :ref:`concepts-offboard-voss-assurance-assets`: Offboard Assets: disable monitoring
  for Unified CM and Unity Connection clusters by removing assets and related configuration
  from VOSS Assurance. This will remove data from the arbitrators.
* See existing integration(s):
 
  * Configured VOSS Assurance arbitrator servers
  * Unified CM server - see which arbitrator servers are monitoring the server
  * Unity Connection server - see which arbitrator servers are monitoring the server

.. note::

   * The Arbitrator Server should be at version SP23 or higher.
   * The feature does not currently allow for the modification of any existing monitoring setup 
     on UC Apps. Deleting a UC app on VOSS-4-UC will however remove the asset
     and related configuration from all corresponding VOSS Assurance arbitrator servers.
