User's Manual 59. Viewing Performance Monitoring
Parameter Description
Hysteresis
hysteresis
[PerformanceProfile_Hysteresis]
Defines the amount of fluctuation (hysteresis) from
the configured threshold in order f
or the threshold
to be considered as crossed. Hysteresis is used to
avoid false reports being sent by the device.
Hysteresis is used only when the severity level
decreases (i.e., from Red to Yellow, Yellow to
Green, or Red to Green).
The valid value is 0 t
o 15 (in percentage). The
default is 5.
For example, if you configure the 'Major
Threshold' parameter to 70% and the 'Hysteresis'
parameter to 2%, the device considers a threshold
crossing from Red to Yellow only if the ASR
crosses 72% (i.e., 70% + 2%).
Minimum Samples
minimum-samples
[PerformanceProfile_MinimumSample]
Defines the minimum number of call sessions (sample) that
is required for the device to calculate the performance
monitoring metrics (per window size). If the number of call
sessions is less than the configured value, no calculation is
done.
The default is 10 calls.
Note: The calculation also depends on the configured
sampling window size (see 'Window Size' parameter). For
example, if the parameter is configured to 10 calls, but only 5
calls were processed during the configured sampling
window, no calculation is done.
Window Size
window-size
[PerformanceProfile_WindowSize]
Defines the time interval (in minutes) during which the device
calculates the performance monitoring metrics. For example,
if the parameter is configured to five minutes, the calculation
is done for the last five minutes.
The default is 5 minutes.
Note: The calculation depends on the configured minimum
samples (see 'Minimum Samples' parameter). For example,
if the parameter
is configured to five minutes, but the number
of calls during the interval is less than the configured
minimum samples, no calculation is done.
59.5 Configuring PacketSmart Agent for Network
Monitoring
You can configure the device to send voice traffic data to BroadSoft’s BroadCloud™
PacketSmartâ„¢ solution for monitoring and assessing the network in which the device is
deployed. The support is offered by the PacketSmart management agent embedded in the
device. The PacketSmart embedded agent allows network operators and service providers
to remotely measure and manage network performance at the point of demarcation and
simplify the deployment of VoIP networks. By providing real-time monitoring of live traffic,
PacketSmart can identify any network issues as they arise that may impact VoIP quality,
enabling service providers to address issues prior to customer complaints.
