The Telephony plugin to Wireshark is pretty neat, but moreso for diagnosis than monitoring. Is there -- this would probably be a PCAP client app -- something that just monitors a port for SIP/STP flows, and shows a call progress thermometer, with a flow number, destination or source DN, direction, and some color coding to show you that the call is proceeding as expected or is anomalous? Basically, something that launches a small state machine for each new flow it seems, and displays the status of the state machine as a row in a table? Clearly, this would get out of hand for hundreds or thousands of calls, but dozens is a pretty big market... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

1000 thumbs up for VoipMonitor. To ever think that I looked at packet captures by hand makes me want to cry. It won't do exactly what you are asking, but close. You can run reports or have tickets opened for calls with a MOS score lower than a certain threshold. dw On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 7:44 PM, Mick Burns <bmx1955 at gmail.com> wrote:

Well, that does the analytics part I would surely want *afterwards*, but I am very much a "big monitor up on the wall" guy, and it doesn't look like it does that part. Nice package, though.

The voipmonitor dashboard provides a bunch of additional data. It shows you percentage of call results (200OK, 486 Busy, etc) you can also generate a lot of reports and have them update real-time. I have a report that sends an e-mail every time an International call is dialed. Wether it completes or not it gets logged. I?ve picked up a bunch of slow poke probes into my SBC that way.

+1 for voipmonitor. We recently switched from palladion and never looked back. It works great in any environment. The devs over there are very responsive to feature requests and are releasing updates almost weekly (if you want them). Pricing is very cost effective even for large scale (50K+) concurrent call environments. I do recommend SSD drives and lots of RAM for the main server if you are running a lot of traffic in a mirrored configuration. -------- Original message -------- From: Carlos Alvarez Date:06/24/2014 8:29 PM (GMT-07:00) To: "VoiceOps (voiceops at voiceops.org)" Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Monitoring tools Same here, we've always loved having it.

We recently switched from palladion and never looked back. It works great in any environment. The devs over there are very responsive to feature requests and are releasing updates almost weekly (if you want them). Pricing is very cost effective even for large scale (50K+) concurrent call environments. I do recommend SSD drives and lots of RAM for the main server if you are running a lot of traffic in a mirrored configuration. -------- Original message -------- From: Carlos Alvarez Date:06/24/2014 8:29 PM (GMT-07:00) To: "VoiceOps (voiceops at voiceops.org<mailto:voiceops at voiceops.org>)" Subject: Re: [VoiceOps] Monitoring tools Same here, we've always loved having it.

1000 thumbs up for VoipMonitor. To ever think that I looked at packet captures by hand makes me want to cry.
It won't do exactly what you are asking, but close. You can run reports or have tickets opened for calls with a MOS score lower than a certain threshold.

The Telephony plugin to Wireshark is pretty neat, but moreso for diagnosis than monitoring.
Is there -- this would probably be a PCAP client app -- something that just monitors a port for SIP/STP flows, and shows a call progress thermometer, with a flow number, destination or source DN, direction, and some color coding to show you that the call is proceeding as expected or is anomalous?
Basically, something that launches a small state machine for each new flow it seems, and displays the status of the state machine as a row in a table?
Clearly, this would get out of hand for hundreds or thousands of calls, but dozens is a pretty big market...

We did a very extensive evaluation of it earlier this year and felt that Voipmonitor was a far better choice for our needs in terms of ease of setup, functionality, and navigation of the GUI. -- Jay Hennigan - CCIE #7880 - Network Engineering - jay at impulse.net Impulse Internet Service - http://www.impulse.net/ Your local telephone and internet company - 805 884-6323 - WB6RDV

Hi, did you check out "homer"? It's a great tool, you can also insert .pcap files on demand to display and analyze sip traces. (If live capture is too cpu / ram intensive) Although it's only useful for signaling, not for media/RTP like voipmonitor. But it is free... :) http://www.sipcapture.org/ BR Max M.

Check out Homer @ http://sipcapture.org we love it. There is also a commercial version that has more features / support. Enjoy. -----Original Message----- From: VoiceOps [mailto:voiceops-bounces at voiceops.org] On Behalf Of Jay Ashworth Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 6:01 PM To: voiceops at voiceops.org Subject: [VoiceOps] Monitoring tools The Telephony plugin to Wireshark is pretty neat, but moreso for diagnosis than monitoring.
