Create Custom Filters

You can create single or multiple, custom session filters on the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) for Monitor and Trace purposes. These filters allow the system to filter incoming and outgoing session data with specific information and then displayed it on the GUI. You can use the custom filters during monitoring on a global basis, or when monitoring session agents and realms.
