H.323 Stack Monitoring Configuration

This section shows you how to configure H.323 stack monitoring for one H.323 stack configuration. This example shows one instance of the alarm-threshold sub-configuration being established; remember that you can set three—critical, major, and minor. Simply repeat the configuration steps to add more severity levels.

To set up H.323 stack monitoring:

1. In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.

   ORACLE# configure terminal
   ORACLE(configure)#

2. Type session-router and press Enter.

   ORACLE(configure)# session-router
   ORACLE(session-router)#

3. Type h323 and press Enter to access the global H.323 configuration.

   ORACLE(session-router)# h323
   ORACLE(h323)#

4. Type h323-stack and press Enter. If you are adding H.323 stack monitoring to an existing H.323 stack configuration, then remember you must select the stack you want to edit.

   ORACLE(h323)# h323-stack
   ORACLE(h323-stack)#

5. Type alarm-threshold and press Enter to configure this feature.

   ORACLE(h323-stack)# alarm-threshold
   ORACLE(alarm-threshold)#

6. severity—Enter the type of severity level for the alarm you want to define. Choose from: critical, major, or minor. This value is required, and defaults to minor.
7. value—Enter the percentage of the number of calls defined in the max-calls parameter that triggers the alarm. For example, if you want to set a minor alarm to fire when the call rate through the stack reaches half the max-calls value, enter 50 (meaning 50%). The default value for this parameter is 0, which disables the alarm.

   Remember that if the number of calls falls to below 1% of the max-calls threshold you set, the clear trap fires.

8. Save your work. You can see the data related to this feature using the ACLI display-alarms and show h323 stack stack-alarms commands.
