Monitoring calls for selected sites

Use the Site Calls table to monitor calls for each site in the network managed by IBM® Sametime® Bandwidth Manager.

About this task

The monitoring interface includes tabs for links, sites, link calls, and site calls. The Site Calls tab shows calls that are currently in progress. By choosing a specific site in the Site Calls list, the administrator can limit the calls shown to those originating from or terminating at the selected site. Choosing Any will cause all calls in progress to be displayed.

Clicking a call in the Start Time column opens the Call Details page, which provides the following information:

  • Details about the caller: name, site, ID, IP address, bandwidth sent, and bandwidth received.
  • Details about the callee: name, site, ID, IP address, bandwidth sent, and bandwidth received.
  • Call route, including the total distance configured for the route taken by the call.
  • Call rate policy, including peak utilization policy.
