Enabling Disabling SIP Monitoring & Tracing

You can enable or disable the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) to perform SIP monitoring using the state parameter at the path Configure terminal > session-router > sip-monitoring in the ACLI.

Use the following procedure to enable/disable SIP monitoring on the E-SBC.

Note:

You must enable the sip-monitoring object for monitoring and filtering to occur on the E-SBC. With sip-monitoring enabled, you can configure a filter(s) on a global basis, as well as for a session agent and/or a realm. You can also initiate dynamic filter commands.

To enable/disable sip-monitoring:

In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.
```
ACMEPACKET# configure terminal
```
Type session-router and press Enter to access the session router-related objects.
```
ACMEPACKET(configure)# session-router
ACMEPACKET(session-router)#
```
Type sip-monitoring and press Enter to access the SIP monitoring-related attributes.
```
ACMEPACKET(session-router)# sip-monitoring
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)#
```
state—Enter whether or not to enable the sip monitoring on the E-SBC. Default is enabled. Valid values are:
- enabled (default)
- disabled
Enter done to save the setting.
```
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)# done
```
Enter exit to exit the sip-monitoring configuration.
```
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)# exit
```
Enter exit to exit the session-router configuration.
```
ACMEPACKET(session-router)# exit
```
Enter exit to exit the configure mode.
```
ACMEPACKET(configure)# exit
```
Enter save-config to save the filters.
```
ACMEPACKET# save-config
```
Enter activate-config to activate the filters in the current configuration.
```
ACMEPACKET# activate-config
```
Configure global filters, or assign filters to a session agent and/or realm. For more information, see the following:
With sip-monitoring enabled, you can also initiate dynamic filter commands if required. For more information about dynamic filter commands, see Dynamic Filter Commands.
