Information About Cisco UBE Serviceability
Resource Volume Monitoring
You can use the Cisco UBE Serviceability feature for resource volume monitoring (RVM); that is, you can capture the performance metrics of the Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE) based on various parameters. The following parameters are supported by Cisco UBE:
- Active calls—The number of concurrent or active calls on the Cisco UBE; these calls may have voice or video media flowing through Cisco UBE and describe the load on memory.
- Call rate—The number of incoming calls handled by Cisco UBE per second. Call rate is crucial to understand the incoming call load.
- Call-leg rate—Call-leg rate is an extension of call legs, where the number of call legs is counted instead of the number of calls. Call legs refer to end-to-end logical connections between two routers or between a telephony device and a router in a VoIP network.
- Short-duration calls—The number of short-duration calls (configurable), indicative of audio issues or dropped calls.
- Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message rate—The number of SIP messages handled per second. The messages can be received across any transport mechanism and includes all messages received by Cisco UBE.
Each of these parameters is presented in a histogram or tabular format over the past 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 72 hours. You can also view the call watermarks, that is, the peak values of a parameter (calls or message rate) over a duration.
Consolidated Information of Active Calls and Cisco UBE Configurations
You can combine and filter the output of several show commands. It is not required to know several disparate commands related to Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), H.323, audio, video, and so on. You can enter a single command that will consolidate information based on the type of calls that are present at that time. Static configurations pertaining to digital signal processor (DSP) farm and redundancy are also consolidated. You can filter the potentially huge output and display information only for a specific call, called-number, or port. While troubleshooting a specific call, you may find it useful to have a single command that provides all signaling and media information related to that call. The show cube global command is used to display the consolidated output.
Monitoring Cisco UBE Serviceability
Perform this task to monitor Cisco UBE serviceability for some parameters. Depending on your requirements, you can capture the performance metrics of the Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE) based on several parameters or you can collect consolidated information of active calls and configurations related to Cisco UBE. The show commands can be entered in any order.
