HP Network Optimizer SDN Application - Microsoft Lync 1.0 Administrator Guide

7 Viewing the Lync sessions
The Session table provides detailed information about the Lync sessions initiated in the most recent
15 days. Typically, a Lync session refers to a Lync call that is initiated by a Lync user and establishes
a connection with a callee successfully. The statuses of Lync sessions include:
• Active—When a Lync session starts, it is in active status until it ends.
• Inactive—When a Lync ends, it is in inactive status.
The Net Optimizer - Lync collects session information and stores the session records in its database.
The Net Optimizer - Lync database keeps the records of sessions that occurred in the most recent
15 days.
NOTE: The records of sessions older than 15 days are deleted from the Net Optimizer - Lync
database.
The Net Optimizer - Lync session function enables you to:
• View the Lync session table for basic information of sessions.
• View detailed Lync session information and the corresponding flow entries.
• Filter Lync sessions.
NOTE: To monitor sessions in the session table, you must first ensure that the IP addresses of the
