Filter Objects
The Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) provides configuration objects you can set on the E-SBC to customize filters for SIP Monitor and Trace. The system can monitor and filter specific SIP session data and display it to the GUI. The filter objects you can configure include:
Filters | Description |
---|---|
filter-config | Object that allows you to create custom filters to use for SIP Monitor and Trace. You can then configure session agents (SA) and/or realms to use these filters, or set sip-monitoring to use the filters on a global basis.
For more information, see Creating Custom Filters . |
sip-monitoring | Object that allows you to configure SIP Monitor and Trace features.
Note: You must configure the sip-monitoring object to enable filtering. A session agent and/or realm must also be configured, or you must set filtering on a global basis, for Monitor and Trace to occur. |
state | Attribute that enables/disables SIP Monitor and Trace.
For more information, see Enabling Disabling SIP Monitoring & Tracing . |
monitoring-filters | Attribute that allows you to specify the name of the custom filter(s) to use on a global basis. This value is based on the filter(s) created in “filter-config”. You can also specify an * (asterisk) as a value for this attribute, which monitors all session data on the
E-SBC.
For more information, see Using Filters to Monitor on a Global-Basis . |
interesting-events | Object that allows you to configure the following attributes:
type - Sets the interesting events to monitor (short-session, local-rejection) trigger-threshold - Sets the number of interesting events that must occur within the time set by the trigger-window value. If the number of events reaches the trigger-threshold during the trigger-window time, monitoring is started. trigger-timeout - Sets the amount of time, in seconds, that the trigger is active once monitoring has started. If no interesting events occur in the time frame set for this value, monitoring never starts. For example, if trigger-timeout is set to 40, and no interesting events occur in 40 seconds, then monitoring never starts. Note: Interesting Events are always enabled on a global-basis on the E-SBC. For more information, see Configuring Interesting Events . |
trigger-window | Attribute to specify the amount of time, in seconds, for the window of time that the trigger-threshold value must reach before monitoring begins. For example, if type is set to short-session, trigger-threshold is set to 2, and trigger-window is set to 60, monitoring begins when the
E-SBC has discovered 2 short-session events in a 60 second window.
For more information, see Configuring a Trigger Window . |
