Cisco UBE Serviceability

The Cisco UBE Serviceability feature captures the performance metrics of Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE) periodically based on certain parameters and collects consolidated or filtered information about active calls and Cisco UBE-related configurations.

Finding Feature Information

Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table at the end of this module.

Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/​go/​cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

Prerequisites for Cisco UBE Serviceability

Cisco Unified Border Element

  • Cisco IOS Release 15.3(1)T or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco Unified Border Element.

Cisco Unified Border Element (Enterprise)

  • Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router.

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.

    Feature Information

    Cisco UBE Serviceability

    15.3(1)T

    The Cisco UBE Serviceability feature captures the performance metrics of Cisco UBE periodically based on certain parameters and collects consolidated or filtered information of active calls and Cisco UBE-related configurations.

    The following commands were introduced or modified: show call history stats, show call history watermark, show cube calls, show cube global, show sip-ua history, voice call duration monitor threshold, and voice watermark table-size.

    The following commands were introduced or modified: show call history stats, show call history watermark, show cube calls, show cube global, show sip-ua history, voice call duration monitor threshold, and voice watermark table-size.


    Cisco UBE Serviceability

    Cisco UBE Serviceability

    The Cisco UBE Serviceability feature captures the performance metrics of Cisco Unified Border Element (Cisco UBE) periodically based on certain parameters and collects consolidated or filtered information about active calls and Cisco UBE-related configurations.

    Finding Feature Information

    Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module. For the latest caveats and feature information, see Bug Search Tool and the release notes for your platform and software release. To find information about the features documented in this module, and to see a list of the releases in which each feature is supported, see the feature information table at the end of this module.

    Use Cisco Feature Navigator to find information about platform support and Cisco software image support. To access Cisco Feature Navigator, go to www.cisco.com/​go/​cfn. An account on Cisco.com is not required.

    Prerequisites for Cisco UBE Serviceability

    Cisco Unified Border Element

    • Cisco IOS Release 15.3(1)T or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco Unified Border Element.

    Cisco Unified Border Element (Enterprise)

    • Cisco IOS XE Release 3.8S or a later release must be installed and running on your Cisco ASR 1000 Series Router.

    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.
