99 Voicemail and Fax Application

This target represents the Voicemail and Fax Application. A Voicemail and Fax Application is a set of services running on a host. There is one application per Telephony Server. The services are: Routing, Retrieval, Recording, Call Transfer, Message Delivery Monitor, Message Recovery, Telephony Monitor, SMDI (Simplified Message Desk Interface) Monitor, MWI (Message Waiting Indicator), IVR (Interactive Voice Response), and Fax Receiving. You may have multiple Voicemail and Fax Applications associated with a PBX-Application Cluster. You might require more than one Voicemail and Fax Application, for example, if a PBX requires more ports than one Telephony Server can support. From the Voicemail and Fax Application level, you get an overview of the status and performance of this application. The Voicemail and Fax Application inherits its properties from the global process settings set at the Voicemail and Fax component level and passes those settings on to its services. These settings can be overridden at the application level.

99.1 Collaboration Suite Database Availablity

This category includes a set of metrics that provides information about the Up/Down status of the Collaboration Suite Database and the name of the host system where the Voicemail & Fax Application communicating with that database resides.

The Oracle Voicemail & Fax services process incoming calls and store the voice mail and fax messages recorded in each call in the called party's account in the Collaboration Suite Database.

99.1.1 Collaboration Suite Database Status

This metric provides information about the Up/Down status of the Collaboration Suite Database which stores the voice mail and fax messages for users. It alerts you when the Collaboration Suite Database is down.

Metric Summary

The following table shows how often the metric's value is collected and compared against the default thresholds. The 'Consecutive Number of Occurrences Preceding Notification' column indicates the consecutive number of times the comparison against thresholds should hold TRUE before an alert is generated.
