Monitor I
For DEFINITY G2 and System 85, the optional Monitor I tracks call volume and
alerts you when the number of calls exceeds a predetermined threshold. Monitor I
is a UNIX software package that collects measurements data from G2 and
System 85 switches, stores the results, and produces various types of analysis
reports.
With Monitor I, you can set up thresholds for expected normal traffic flow on each
of your trunk groups. The application will alert you when the traffic flow exceeds
the expected values. The data collected includes quantity and duration of
incoming and outgoing calls, processor utilization, and security violation
measurements for Remote Access and administration port access.
Use the PROC400 series to turn on this report for the trunk groups.
SAT, Manager I, and G3-MT Reporting
Traffic reporting capabilities are built-in and are obtained through the System
Administrator Tool (SAT), Manager I, and G3-MT terminals. The SAT is available
only on System 75. These programs track and record the usage of hardware and
software features. The measurements include peg counts (number of times
accessed) and call seconds of usage. Traffic measurements are maintained
constantly and are available on demand. However, reports are not archived and
should therefore be printed to monitor a history of traffic patterns.
For DEFINITY ECS, DEFINITY G1, G3, and System 75 R1V3 and later:
To record traffic measurements:
— Enter
change trunk-group to display the Trunk Group screen.
— In the Measured field, enter
both if you have BCMS and CMS,
internal if you have only BCMS, or external if you have only
CMS.
To review the traffic measurements, enter list measurements followed by
one of the measurement types (trunk-groups, call-rate, call-summary,
outage-trunk, or security-violations) and the timeframe
(yesterday-peak, today-peak, or last-hour).
To review performance, enter list performance followed by one of the
performance types (summary or trunk-group) and the timeframe
(yesterday or today).
