Monitoring the System

Revised: May 11, 2017

Contents

This chapter contains the following Monitoring page sections:

System Status

Use the System Status section to view the current operating statuses of the IX system hardware components. Colored icons next to each component indicate whether that component is connected and functional (green checkmark) or not connected or nonfunctional (red x).

Figure 6-1 shows a sample Monitoring page with the System Status section positioned on the right.

Call Statistics

Use the Call Statistics section to view audio and video call statistics collected by the codecs. Scroll down the Monitoring page to access this section.

Special Note for Statistics for HD Presentations

If you are sharing an HD presentation, the call statistics will appear in different places depending on whether the call is a point-to-point or multipoint call.

  • For a point-to-point call, view the presentation statistics under Monitoring > Call Statistics > General.
  • For a multipoint call, view the presentation statistics under Monitoring > Call Statistics > AV Call Video, AV Call Audio, or Audio Only.

Viewing Call Statistics

To view Call Statistics:


Step 1blank.gif Navigate to Monitoring > Call Statistics to view tabs for the following IX system call statistics:

  • General —Historical information about all system calls. See the sample Data Types and Values in Figure 6-2.
  • AV Call Video —Video stream statistics of an in-progress TelePresence call for the Right, Center, or Left display. See sample statistics in Figure 6-3.
  • AV Call Audio —Audio stream statistics of an in-progress TelePresence call.
  • Audio Only —Audio add-in data for the in-progress TelePresence call.

Step 2blank.gif Click a tab for a desired statistics selection.

Continue to scroll down the Monitoring page to the Network Data section to view your system’s transmission data.

Network Data

Use the Network Data section to view packet transmission statistics collected from the network. Data is listed in columns labeled as if you were looking at the back of the system. For example, on an IX5000, the labels would indicate statistics from the left, center, and right codecs.

To monitor network statistics:


Step 1blank.gif In the Monitoring page, scroll down to Network Data. Your network data appears as in Figure 6-4.

Using SNMP Traps to Monitor the System

Cisco provides management information base (MIB) files that monitor your system using the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). For more detail, refer to the “MIBs, RFCs, and SNMP Trap Messages for the Cisco TelePresence System” chapter of the Cisco TelePresence System Message Guide.
