LBM is part of the new enhanced locations CAC feature. Combined with the transition of locations from a fixed hub & spoke model to locations & links It moves bandwidth allocation outside of the ccm process and allows multiple clusters to run on the same network and exchange bandwidth allocation info so they can stay in sync.
It’s a bit more overhead setting up BUT it allows you to accurately model your real network. -Ryan On Aug 30, 2016, at 9:22 PM, NateCCIE <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Isn't LBM for syncing to VCS?

From back when I did it on UCCX to trend JVM Heap usage, it was a pain in the ass to collect, consolidate (because it was multiple files), and view (you have to make sense of it). Unless you know of an easier way, I'm all ears. Also, consider the scariness where I have not activated LBM on any nodes (oh my god, what?), but I have been creating locations (effectively unlimited BW), and before I turn on Locations Based CAC, I want to get a base line of traffic patterns. Well, then Perfmon is not going to help me, as these statistics wont be collected with LBM activated. I know from experience. If I have to roll my own tool, I will, but I just thought...I don't know why...but I just thought there might be a built in report/way/mechanism to get this.

I should have mentioned that I am already in RTMT (Why no "Current Bandwidth Usage" counter Cisco?), but what I'm really looking for is, historical reporting. I need to answer the question: Have calls between any of our sites began to increase or decrease since the introduction of a new tool? For example, if we deploy Jabber+CSF, will that increase or decrease our intra-company calls? One could guess it would decrease, since Instant Messaging is now introduced into the environment, but if there's a CSF for convenience, and now video for rich media communications, maybe it actually increases. I'd like to report on this, instead of doing the typical thing of pushing my usage statistics on the entire user community. "I don't think many people are using video, because I don't use video."
