Presence and CE API Applications

Recently I created a couple of Github repositories both of which revolve around CE based endpoints. The first application called "Telehealth Presence Application" adds presence to video endpoints within Jabber but also adds a Spark administration chat interface to make for easy administration. I also added some features like broadcasting a on screen message to all video endpoints that were more experimentation than target request.  Go here.


 

The second application aims to make administering Cisco video endpoints a little easier by providing a script to deploy either branding, wallpaper and backup-bundle to multiple endpoints. If deploying the branding options, the script will also check your endpoint version to ensure it has branding capabilities and if not deploys wallpaper. It also has the ability to downloads troubleshooting logs from a single endpoint that are commonly requested by TAC. While using the script as-is is an option, ideally this is more design to show how it's done so people can use the desired function in their own code. Go here.

Go Tiger.

NetTools Cisco Spark Bot now on Github

If you would like to run your own version of netTools bot for Cisco Spark please check out this Github repo.

https://github.com/voipnorm/netTools

A couple of points.

• This bot uses a websocket library and websockets for bots is not supported by Cisco but it does work well. If you prefer webhooks just remove the websocket configuration and library.
• Flint-node configuration and conversation files broken into their own files and imported into other files that need them.
• Switch statement used to sort conversations which is different than the Flint-node examples.
• Watson used for logging throughout. Use .env file to up date to production to turn all logging off.
• .env file required for all Spark token settings unless you care to change of course!

Enjoy!

This is a new Cisco Spark bot I created to help with troubleshooting DNS and Cisco Expressway issues. Let me know what you think.

Thanks to John Howell who created this great video to help promote the bot.

Cisco Spark Node-Flint Support Space

Nick Marus and I have opened a Cisco Spark Space if you require support, share code or find issues for the Node-Flint Bot Framework for developing Cisco Spark Bots and Integrations developed by Nick. Please feel free to follow this link and join the Cisco Spark Space by entering your email on the page. I have also added the link in my gadgets space so if you need it at a later date its available.
