Viewing Active Audio and Video Call Statistics

The show sessions and show sipd codec CLI commands identify and display media processing statistics, such as the aggregate call count for active audio and video calls, and codec information per call.

show sessions

The show sessions command displays the statistics for SIP, H.323 and IWF along with the cumulative SIP audio and video call counters for the active calls. The system uses the following assumptions and interpretations of the calls to have separate counters for audio and video calls:

  • The system determines the type of call, whether audio or video, by checking the m-line for media-type and a valid media-port. When the SDP uses only one m-line with media-type 'video' and media-port > 0, the system increments the video call count. Same logic applies for audio calls.
  • The system considers multiple m lines for same media-type as a single call and increments the call by one.

The show session command displays these statistics.

  • Total Sessions—The aggregation of all current active subscriber sessions (H.323 call/SIP session) and is the total session count against the capacity license.
  • SIP Sessions—The total current active SIP sessions.
  • H.323 Calls—The total current active H.323 calls.
  • SIP Audio Calls - The audio call count.
  • SIP Video Calls - The video call count.
  • Messaging Sessions - The session-based messaging session count.
  • Period Statistics:
    • Active - The current number of active counts.
    • High - The highest number during the recent window.
    • Total - The total accumulated count during the recent window.
  • Lifetime Statistics:
    • Total - The total accumulated count.
    • PerMax - The maximum recorded in one period.
    • High - The highest momentary count.

show sipd codec

The show sipd codec command displays the media-processing statistics per SIP traffic. Note that the show sipd codec command displays the statistics per realm and requires a realm argument. The system displays the statistics of the active video sessions in the rows: H.261 Count, H.263 count, H.264 Count.
