HTTP Monitoring Interface

Starting with version 8.1.102.13, SIP Server provides the ability to monitor various operational statistics for its internal modules and statistics relating to trunks.

Starting with version 8.1.103.25, SIP Server adds the ability to monitor statistics related to SIP Feature Server interactions.

Starting with version 8.1.103.35, SIP Server adds the ability to monitor statistics related to Extended Services (XS) components.

Starting with version 8.1.103.72, SIP Server adds the following statistics in separate tables for Trunk, Softswitch, MSML, and Trunk Group devices: error statistics, the total number of calls created on the device, the number of out-of-service detection instances per device, and location matching instances.

Starting with version 8.1.103.95, SIP Server adds monitoring of state and quantitative statistics for T-Library client connections of the following SIP Server threads: Session Controller (the main T-Server thread), T-Controller, Interaction Proxy, and Smart Proxy. See SIP Server threads statistics for details.

This topic covers the following:

SIP Server Statistics

SIP Server collects statistics for the following internal modules:

Trunk, Softswitch, MSML, and Trunk Group Statistics

SIP Server collects the following statistics (sipTrunkStatistics) for each configured Trunk, Softswitch, MSML, and Trunk Group DNs:

  • Current statistics (real-time)
    • Number of calls currently established via this trunk (sum of incoming and outgoing calls)
    • Current call rate (average number of calls per second, both incoming and outgoing). Averaging interval is specified by the Application-level option operational-stat-timeout (in seconds, default value is 10 seconds).
    • Capacity (maximum number of calls allowed on a trunk, both incoming and outgoing)
    • Capacity group (to which a trunk belongs)
    • In Service status
    • Error code counters: 4xx, 5xx, 6xx. Error codes that are received by SIP Server for the device since SIP Server started.
    • Number of calls created since SIP Server started. It is a summary of incoming and outgoing calls created at the device. It includes failed to establish calls due to an error response or timeout.
    • Number of out-of-service detection instances since SIP Server started.
    • Statistics for Trunk, MSML, and Softswitch devices only: If location matching is enabled, devices that don't satisfy the location matching configuration are not displayed. Location matching is configured by the enable-strict-location-match, overflow-location-map, and find-trunk-by-location configuration options.
  • Summary statistics (over a period of time, such as an hour or a day)
    • Peak number of calls
    • Peak call rate
    • Call attempts (total number of new calls)
    • Total number of released calls
    • Summary period start time
    • Summary period end time

SIP Server collects the following statistics (sipTrunkStatistics) for each configured Capacity Group:

  • Current statistics
    • Current number of calls (combined number for all the trunks in a group)
    • Current call rate (combined rate for all the trunks in a group)
    • Capacity
  • Summary statistics
    • Peak number of calls
    • Peak call rate
    • Call attempts
    • Total number of released calls
    • Summary period start time
    • Summary period end time
    • Number of calls created since SIP Server started

The period of summary statistics calculation is configurable with the Application-level option summary-stat-timeout.

How to Monitor Statistics

There are two possible ways to monitor the collected statistics:

Monitoring Statistics via HTTP interface

To enable the HTTP interface, set the http-port option to a valid and unoccupied port number in the range of 1024-65535 (values lower than 1024 are system reserved ports). Only the HTTP interface is available on the configured port (HTTPS is not available).

To get the statistics data, the following URL must be retrieved with the HTTP GET request:
http://<SIP Server IP address>:<configured HTTP port> (for example, http://192.168.0.1:8088)

Depending on the path used in the URL, the statistics page can be provided in the HTML or XML format:

  • To get the statistics in the HTML format, use an empty path ("" or "/") or path /server.
    For example: http://192.168.0.1:8088 or http://192.168.0.1:8088/server.
    The above URL returns a root statistics page with the list of statistics for SIP Server internal modules, with each list item being a link to the statistic data for that module.
  • To get the statistics in the XML format, use path /serverx.
    For example: http://192.168.0.1:8088/serverx.
    The above URL returns a root statistics page with the full statistics dump, including data for each SIP Server internal module.

To get the statistics page for one module, add the URL parameter with the module name. For example, to get the Trunk Statistics page in the HTML format, the following URL must be used: http://192.168.0.1:8088/server?sipTrunkStatistics.

Monitoring Statistics via Log File

SIP Server always creates a dedicated log file for a statistics output despite of the values set in the log options. The name of the file contains suffix 1536 (for example, server1-1536.20160201_195851_685.log).

Statistics are written to the log file periodically, with a period specified by the Application-level option operational-stat-timeout (default value is 10 seconds).

Statistics log format

A statistics log file uses the following line format for statistics output:

<Timestamp in ISO 8601 format> <Statistics module name> <Parameter>=<Value> [<Parameter>=<Value>]

For example, for the Call Manager module, the output for the "Number of devices" statistics is as follows:

2016-01-01T12:00:01.001 sipCallManager NDEVICES=150

For more sophisticated Trunk statistics, the output is as follows:

2016-01-01T12:00:01.001 sipTrunkStatistics TRUNK=21001 CURRENT_CALLS=100 CURRENT_CALL_RATE=15 PEAK_CALLS=150 PEAK_CALL_RATE=20 CALL_ATTEMPTS=5000 RELEASED_CALLS=4900 SUMMARY_START=2016-01-01T12:00:01 SUMMARY_END=2016-01-01T13:00:01 CAPACITY=500 CAPACITY_GROUP=MyTrunks IN_SERVICE=Yes

SIP Server Statistics Details

Each SIP Server internal module has its own statistics section. Each section has the identifier that is used in the log and XML output to distinguish one section from another. This identifier is also used as a URL parameter if a user wishes to get an HTML/XML page with only one statistics section.

The statistics for each SIP Server module is described below. Each statistic record is described in a table that has the following columns:

  • ID—The ID that is used in the log and XML output.
  • Description—The general description of the statistic record. It is also used in the HTML output.
  • Comments—Additional information if the description of the record is not self-explanatory.

  • Session Controller
  • T-Controller
  • Interaction Proxy
  • Smart Proxy

Table name: tLibClientsStatistics
Table ID: tLibClientsPage

For each thread, SIP Server displays the client connection statistics and error statistics. See also a limitation for this feature.

Client connection statistics

Statistics tables for client connections have the following names and IDs per SIP Server thread:

  • Session Controller: SC_clientsStatistics and id='SC_clientsDataTable'
  • T-Controller: TC_clientsStatistics and id='TC_clientsDataTable'
  • Interaction Proxy: IP_clientsStatistics and id='IP_clientsDataTable'
  • Smart Proxy: SP_clientsStatistics and id='SP_clientsDataTable'

Section: [TServer]
Default Value: 10
Valid Values: 3-65535
Changes Take Effect: After SIP Server restart

Specifies how often, in seconds, a local LCA is queried for system information such as CPU and memory usage. This information is then written into the SIP Server Operational Information log as defined in the SIP Server configuration.

summary-stat-timeout

Section: [TServer]
Default Value: 60
Valid Values: Integer value 1-65535
Changes Take Effect: After SIP Server restart

Specifies how often, in minutes, the summary statistics are calculated.

t-library-stats-enabled

Section: [TServer]
Default Value: false
Valid Values: true, false
Changes Take Effect: After SIP Server restart

When set to true, SIP Server collects T-Library client statistics and embeds them inside HTTP monitoring statistics. When set to false (the default, this feature is disabled.

Feature Limitations

  • The CSS style for the HTML statistics page is hardcoded.
  • For the SIP Server threads statistics feature, each client connected to SIP Server must have a unique name. Two or more clients with the same name must not connect to SIP Server simultaneously.
