Getting Surveillance Camera Snapshot with Spark Chatbot
Bear with me if it is just too much. I am developing different use cases with Spark that might be useful for myself. Yesterday I had posted these two use cases:
Device monitoring:

Config backup:
http://pandaeatsbamboo.blogspot.hk/2016/06/using-spark-for-my-routers-and-switches.html
Another use case is I can ask the chatbot to send my home surveillance camera snapshot to me via Spark. In a lot of time I don't need the live video as it consumes cellular bandwidth. A snapshot is usually work to get a feeling what my children are doing at home.

Using Spark to monitor device availability
This is another use case I used Spark in my lab, to check the availability of my lab devices. When there is outage, the chatbot will alert me proactively so that I can check and troubleshoot the issue earlier rather than later.
Using Spark for my routers and switches config backup
Not the most innovative idea in the world, but it works for me. In my home and lab there are quite a number of routers and switches. This is what I've configured on the devices to periodically upload the config to the FTP server
ip ftp source-interface
ip ftp username nms
ip ftp password nms
file prompt quiet
!
kron policy-list backup
cli copy running-config ftp://10.1.5.98
!
kron occurrence daily-backup at 0:30 recurring
policy-list backup
There is another script running on my Linux host to post these config files to Spark using the Spark Message API. Good thing for Spark is it is persistent, and I can store the config files there as long as I want.
I do it for my development source code too, similar concept.
A script will be executed every night using the linux box cron job to get this done. Or do it manually, by asking my chatbot to do it.

UDS API - Query User info
You can query the user information with the UDS API, it is a HTTP GET request and if the LDAP search UDS proxy feature is enabled on 11.5, you can use it to query the LDAP users with this API.
This is the HTTP GET request that I've used for the below screen capture:
https://10.1.90.11/cucm-uds/users?name=aeinstein

Read-only AXL in UCM 11.5
One of the improvements in UCM 11.5 is it has a new standard user roles that restrict users to have read-only AXL access. It provides better security and reduce chance of human errors in accessing the UCM database.
