H.323 Stack Monitoring

In releases prior to S-C6.2.0, the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller provides SNMP monitoring of H.323 session agents but not of the H.323 stacks themselves. The H.323 stack/interface configuration now provides a way for you to set alarm thresholds on a per-stack basis. When enabled, this alarm system ties into the max-calls value to send critical, major, or minor alarms when the number of calls approaches the threshold.

Each H.323 stack now has a threshold crossing alert (TCA) where you can set up three severity levels: critical, major, and minor. You can define one severity level or all three for each stack. To prevent the alarm from firing continuously as call volume through the stack varies, each severity level has an has a reset value below the TCA you set. In addition, each threshold value resets when:

• An alarm with a higher severity is triggered, or
• The built-in reset value for the threshold level is 1% less than the parameter value
