In this Section:
Live Monitor screen is available as a configurable dashboard tool for displaying a range of graphs for both real-time monitoring and historical performance to aid fault-finding and troubleshooting at network wide and device level. Each graph settings can be configured to change the time range and other parameters on a per-graph basis, such as, call cause codes and call duration. Some graphs are can be customized to show data for specific zones, trunk groups, or IP Interfaces.
Live Monitor provides a snapshot view of the device at a quick glance. Data Collection for Live Monitor can be enabled or disabled at any time. By default Data Collection is disabled.
Calls are retrieved from Call Count Status
table to retrieve all the active calls on SBC. To retrieve the calls, the Data is polled at frequent intervals (every minute). The data is fed to the database too for the users to view the Historical Data.
To retrieve Active Calls for specific Zone and Trunk Group, the Call Current Statistics
table is used. The Data is polled at frequent intervals (every 15 minutes). This data is also available in the database for the users to view.
On the SBC main screen, go to Monitoring > Dashboard > Live Monitor.
The following metrics are monitored:
Live Monitor supports High Availability:
During the failover process, some of the Live Monitor Data may not be saved to the database.
Live Monitor data purge on Disk basis and Age basis:
The settings for the Live Monitor screen apply to all users. If any one user changes the settings for the Live Monitor screen or for an individual chart, the same change is applied for all EMA users.
Access to Live Monitor page:

This graph displays the number of calls on all the zones and trunk groups for the selected time duration.
Active - Licensed Calls
This graph displays the number of calls for the selected zones and trunk groups for the specified time duration. Maximum of 4 zones and/or trunk groups can be shown on each chart.
Active Calls
This graph displays the number of short duration calls for the specified time duration. A short duration call is defined using the Show calls shorter than field under Settings. Calls shorter than the specified duration are classified as short duration calls. Show calls shorter than field value range is 1 second to 45 seconds.
