Using Filters to Monitor on a Global-Basis

The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) allows you to filter SIP session data on a global-basis using the monitoring-filters object at the path Configure terminal > session-router > sip-monitoring > monitoring-filters in the ACLI. You can apply a single or multiple custom filter for global monitoring. For more information about creating a custom filter, see Creating a Custom Filter.

Note:

For SIP Monitor and Trace to trigger interesting-events, a filter value must be configured for the monitoring-filters object.

To configure filtering on a global basis:

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)#
```
Type select and press Enter to select the sip-monitoring objects.
```
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)# select
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)#
```
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 session data.
```
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2 +FILTER3
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2 -FILTER3
ACMEPACKET(sip-monitoring)# 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.
Enter done to save the configuration.
