Viewing External Policy Server Statistics

show ext-band-mgr

The show ext-band-mgr command includes cumulative statistics for all configured ext-policy-server server objects. The display includes the following counts for Period and Lifetimes:

  • socket connections established
  • total active Diameter connections
  • active Diameter server transaction
  • active Diameter client transactions

Further the show ext-band-mgr command displays the event counts with respect to client transaction with recent and lifetime counts only:

  • reserve requests sent
  • update requests sent
  • termination requests (STR) sent
  • times requests are transmitted
  • responses received to install flows
  • request errors occurred
  • deny/reject responses received from the server
  • client transactions expired
  • total application errors occurred

show policy-server

The show policy-server command displays each external policy server’s name and address, followed by the policy server's IP addresses that are resolved through DNS, its priority, state of the server, socket related errors and Diameter related failures. The command can also display cumulative statistics for policy-groups, as well as for specific policy-agents that are members of policy-groups. The command can restrict returned statistics to a specific Diameter message.

The display also includes the following external bandwidth manager counts for recent and lifetime periods.

  • Total socket connections established
  • Total Diameter connections established

Client transactions counts include:

  • reserve type requests sent
  • update requests sent
  • termination requests (STR) sent
  • responses received that installs the flow
  • deny/rejected responses received from the server
  • client transaction timeouts occurred
  • client side related errors that occurred

Server transactions counts include:

  • requests received from the client
  • duplicate requests received
  • responses sent successfully
  • errors occurred while sending the response
  • requests dropped

The command displays aforementioned statistics for all configured external policy server configuration elements. In addition, the command displays mutilhomed IPPort for SCTP configurations. Here is an example of show policy-server connections:

ORACLE# show policy-server connections

CLF Statistics

The show ext-clf-srv command is entered as follows:

show ext-clf-srv [<realm-name> | ext-policy-server <policy-server-name>]

The show ext-clf-svr command displays aggregate statistics for all CLF external policy servers active on the system. You can enter a realm-name to display only the given realm’s statistics. For example:

ORACLE# show ext-clf-svr
16:11:38-168

CLFD Errors              0          0       0

Note the following application statistics:

  • CLF Requests—This counter is incremented when new CLF request are sent.
  • CLF Admits—This counter is incremented when the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller received RESP_STATUS_OK response from the external policy server (i.e. successful registration).
  • CLF Req. Errors—This counter is incremented when the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller has protocol level based type of error returned back from the external policy server, i.e. a bad request.
  • CLF rejects—This counter is incremented when the CLF returns a response code other than "RESP_STATUS_OK" or "RESP_STATUS_BAD"(i.e. Above mentioned CLF Req Errors)
  • CLF Expires—This counter is incremented when the Oracle Communications Session Border Controller does not receive a response to a request it sent to the CLF.
  • CLFD Errors—This counter is incremented when the encounters a general error in processing the received response from the external policy server (i.e. no socket for request, no agent for socket or no response in socket).

The show ext-clf-svr ext-policy-server command displays all ext-policy-servers Summarys. For example:

ORACLE# show ext-clf-svr ext-policy-server
15:41:22-1687
Ext Clf Server summary
Ext Clf Server           Recent      Total      PerMax

diameter_check_3           0           0           0

The show ext-clf-svr ext-policy-server with a supplied ext-policy-server configuration object name displays specific statistics for the named external policy server. For example:

ORACLE# show ext-clf-svr ext-policy-server diameter_check_1
15:41:43-1707
Ext Clf Svr Errors
                         -------- Lifetime --------

The show home-subscriber command displays detailed information about HSS transactions. For example:
