Using Filters when Monitoring Realms

You can configure the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) to perform filtering of SIP session data for realm configurations. You must specify the realm identifier and the filter to use to perform the filtering, at the path Configure terminal->media-manager->realm-config in the ACLI. For more information about creating a custom filter, see Creating a Custom Filter.

To configure filtering for a realm:

In Superuser mode, type configure terminal and press Enter.
```
ACMEPACKET# configure terminal
```
Type media-manager and press Enter to access the media manager-related objects.
```
ACMEPACKET(configure)# media-manager
ACMEPACKET(media-manager)#
```
Type realm-config and press Enter to access the realm configuration-related attributes.
```
ACMEPACKET(media-manager)# realm-config
ACMEPACKET(realm-config)#
```
Type select and press Enter.
```
ACMEPACKET(realm-config)# select
ACMEPACKET(realm-config)#
```
identifier—Specify the identifier of the realm to which you want to apply the custom filter(s).
```
ACMEPACKET(realm-config)# identifier REALM1
```
monitoring-filters—Enter the custom filter name(s) you want to use when monitoring on a global-basis. You can enter multiple filter names in a comma-separated list (with no spaces) if required. To add to an existing filter list, use the “+” before the filter name you are adding. Use a “-” to remove filter names. Enter an * (asterisk) to filter all SIP session data.
```
ACMEPACKET(realm-config)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2
ACMEPACKET(realm-configg)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2 +FILTER3
ACMEPACKET(realm-config)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2 -FILTER3
ACMEPACKET(realm-config)# monitoring-filters *
```
Note:
If you enter the * with a filter name, the filter name is ignored and the E-SBC uses the * to filter all session data.
