Configure Filters for Monitoring Session Agents

You can configure the Oracle® Enterprise Session Border Controller (E-SBC) to perform filtering of SIP session data for Session Agent (SA) configurations. You must specify the hostname of the SA and the filter to use to perform the filtering, at the path Configure terminal, session-router, session-agent. For more information about creating a custom filter, see Creating a Custom Filter.

To configure filtering for a Session Agent:

Type select, and press Enter.
```
ACMEPACKET(session-agent)# select
ACMEPACKET(session-agent)#
```
hostname—Specify the hostname of the session agent to which you want to apply the custom filter.
```
ACMEPACKET(session-agent)# hostname SA1
```
monitoring-filters—Enter the custom filter name 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(session-agent)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2
ACMEPACKET(session-agent)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2 +FILTER3
ACMEPACKET(session-agent)# monitoring-filters FILTER1,FILTER2 -FILTER3
ACMEPACKET(session-agent)# 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.
