IT Pros should be aware that LSM for Lync SDN API 2.0 can be scaled out to have a secondary LSM in case of loss of primary. Also see the 'Backwards Compatibility' section below for more info. Please see the Lync SDN Manager Schema document (.xsd) for development purposes. Developers can utilize the new LSM XML schema for 2.0, due to its added and optimized enhancements. It maintains state of the individual real-time streams-including starting state, ending state, updated state, and more-and sends the resulting XML data to the configured network management system. The LSM is responsible for processing the dialog events received from the LDL component. The LSM is also a lightweight Windows Service that runs on a separate virtual or hardware application server with Windows Server 2008 or later.

The LDL is configured to send data to the LSM.

The LDL is implemented as a Windows service, can work with both Lync Server 2010 and Lync Server 2013, and requires.

The types of Lync media traffic involving two or more Lync endpoints include audio and video calls, as well as application-sharing. One or more network management systems supporting a restful Web service to receive and analyze the diagnostic data posted from the LSM.Ī graphical illustration of the Lync SDN API 2.0 is presented in Figure 1.įigure 1: Architecture of the Lync SDN API 2.0 Conceptually, the Lync SDN API 2.0 consists of the following components:Ī Lync Dialog Listener (LDL) that captures signaling and diagnostic observations about media traffic between or among Lync endpoints.Ī Lync SDN Manager (LSM) that collects the data from one or more LDLs and distributes to third-party network management systems.
