Managing QoE Status and Alarms

You can set rules that determine when to raise Major and Critical alarms according to the Call grading level. For example, the Failed Calls Major alarm is raised when the configured threshold value reaches 2 and a Critical alarm is raised when the configured threshold value reaches 10.

When you add a new tenant, the defined templates are automatically added as profiles. In the example shown below, an Alarm rule is automatically added as a profile to the new tenant 'SBC Test' (you can compare the matching parameter settings in each figure). You can then customize these profiles according to customer requirements (see Managing QoE Status and Alarms).

To add Status and Alarms thresholds:
1. Access the Global (see Accessing Scopes).
2. Open the QoE Status and Alarms page (System > Configuration > Templates > QoE Status & Alarms).

3. Click Add.

4. Use the following table as a reference and then click OK to apply changes.
