Overview
The collection of historical data and Threshold Crossing Alerts (TCA) provides a facility for understanding the long-term utilization and call traffic characteristics of the SBC Edge Portfolio. The collection and analysis of this data over an extended period of time produces a clearer picture of how the node is being utilized and provides information necessary to properly modify its capacity. The TCA Thresholds feature allows the administrator to configure thresholds for monitoring real-time statistics. An alarm is raised when a user-defined threshold for a particular attribute is crossed.
Statistics
The node collects the statistics listed in the table below. Each statistic has user-configurable Raise and Clear alarm thresholds. An alarm is raised when the Raise threshold is exceeded, and conversely, the alarm clears when the statistical value drops below the Clear threshold
Statistic | Minimum Threshold Range | Maximum Threshold Range | Polling | Collection Interval | History Range | Maximum Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Signaling Group Channel Usage (peak) | 0 | 1 | 1 min | 1 hr | 1 day | 25 |
SIP Call License Usage | 0 | 600 | 1 min | 1 hr | 1 day | 25 |
SIP Registration | 0 | 500 | 10 mins | 1 hr | 1 day | 25 |
DSP Usage (peak) | 0% | 100% | 1 min | 1 hr | 1 day | 25 |
CPU Usage | 0% | 100% | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
Memory Usage | 0% | 100% | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
| File Descriptor Usage | 0 | 4000 | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
| 1 Minute Load Average | 1 (increments of 100% CPU usage) | 5 | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
| 5 Minute Load Average | 1 | 5 | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
| 15 Minute Load Average | 1 | 5 | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
| Temporary Partition Usage | 0% | 100% | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
| Logging Partition Usage (SBC2000 Only) | 0% | 100% | 10 secs | 1 min | 4 hrs | 241 |
Logging Partition Usage Applicability
The Logging Partition Usage statistics and its related alarms and events are only applicable to the SBC2000.
- Statistic. The type of statistic collected.
- Maximum/Minimum Threshold Range. The minimum and maximum threshold ranges used before an alarm is raised or cleared respectively.
- Polling Interval. The interval at which the system polls the statistic to see if it has crossed a threshold, and subsequently raises or clears an alarm if needed.
- Collection Interval. The interval at which the system collects data for the statistic.
- History Range. The amount of time the collected statistic is retained.
- Maximum number of Collections. The maximum number of collections that can be stored at any period of time. The collection with ID1 is the current collection interval, and the collections with IDs 2 -<max> are the historical collections.
