ORACLE SBC VoIP monitoring

What is Oracle SBC?

The role of an Oracle SBC is to interconnect IP networks with voice, video and multimedia services across large, distributed, heterogeneous enterprise VoIP and Unified Communications platforms. Oracle acquired Acme Packet in 2013 and their Session Border Controller (SBC) products (also called Net-Net family).

It allows you to control and secure media flow signalling in video-over-IP or VoIP networks as well as support all common protocols (SIP, H.323, MGCP/NCS, H.248, RTSP) in order to configure SIP trunks and other advanced VoIP security functionalities.

How to monitor Oracle SBC?

ServicePilot uses a combination of SNMP and the ServicePilot Agent to fully monitor Oracle SBC with only minimal configuration required on target device. A resource of the voip-oracle-sbc package then needs to be added via the ServicePilot web interface.

The statistics collected via SNMP include:

System statistics
Temperature
Power Supply information
Fan state
Network interface statistics

The statistics collected using the ServicePilot agent:

Route statistics
Domain statistics
Transcoding statistics
CDRs (used for call quality statistics)

How to install a oracle-sbc resource?

Use your ServicePilot OnPremise installation or a SaaS account.
Add a new oracle-sbc resource via the web interface (/prmviews or /prmresources) or via API (/prmpackages page), the default ServicePilot agent or another agent will be provisioned automatically.

Details of the oracle-sbc package are located in the /prmpackages page of the software.
