SIP Monitor and Trace Filter Configuration

The SIP Monitor and Trace function allows you to monitor SIP sessions for notable events and display the results in the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (OECB) SIP Notable Events summary. Such information may help you perform troubleshooting. For more targeted monitoring, you can configure filters on particular users and addresses on the OECB, and on a specific agent.

The OECB Configuration page includes the following objects for configuring SIP Monitoring filters:
  • The SIP Interface configuration page displays the Monitoring filters object in the navigation pane, which you use to configure individual filters.

    This screen capture shows the navigation pane of the Configuration tab, with the Monitoring Filters object highlighted, and displaying the filter config dialog.

  • The Monitoring object on the SIP interface configuration page displays the Monitoring filters element in the dialog. Use it to apply filters to the OECB.

    This screen capture shows the navigation pane on the Configuration tab with the Monitoring object selected, and the SIP monitoring configuration dialog.

  • The Add Agents configuration page displays theMonitoring filters configuration element to the Advanced section. Use it to apply filters to an agent.

    This screen capture shows the Monitoring Filters dialog that the system displays after you click Add in the SIP monitoring dialog.

  • Note:

    After the P-CZ2.0.0m4 release, the system does not support the former "Enable SIP Monitor and Trace" setting. You must re-configure SNMP event traps through the dialogs described in this topic.
Use the following filter configuration process for both new installations and upgrades.
  1. Create one or more filters in the Monitoring Filters object. You may use an asterisk character as a filter, if you want to monitor all session data.
  2. Add one or more filters to the Monitoring object.
  3. (Optional) Add one or more monitoring filters to an agent that you want to monitor.
