Creating Custom Filters
You can create single or multiple custom, session filters on the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller for Monitor and Trace purposes. These filters allow incoming and outgoing session data to be filtered with specific information and then displayed to the GUI. You can use the custom filter(s) during monitoring on a global basis, or when monitoring session agent (SAs) and/or realms.
You create custom filters using the filter-config object at the path in the ACLI.
The following table identifies the attributes you can configure for each filter.
| Filters | Description |
|---|---|
| filter-config | Object that allows you to create a custom filter(s) to be used for Monitor and Trace on the Net-Net ESD. |
| name | Name of the custom filter.
Note: You specify this filter name when configuring global monitoring, SA monitoring, and/or realm monitoring. |
| address | IP address to be filtered. Depending on the value you specify for this attribute, filtering matches the IP address or IP address and netmask, in the message header. For example:
1.1.1.1 is <IP address> 1.1.1.1/24 is <IP address>/<Netmask> |
| user | Phone number or user-part to be filtered. Depending on the value you specify for this attribute, filtering matches the phone number string or the user-part with the following header information if it exists in the message: From URI, To URI, Request URI, P-Preferred URI, P-Asserted Identity, P-Associated URI, P-Called Party URI. |
You can define a single or multiple filters with specific names and then specify the filter name(s) to use for global monitoring, session agent monitoring, and/or realm monitoring.
