Adding a PM Template

Live Platform provides a Factory PM Profile template example including a selection of metrics that are most frequently used by customers. You can customize your own PM templates. When you add a new tenant, the defined PM templates are automatically added as profiles. In the example shown below, the PM templates 'PM Profile' and 'SBC Test' are automatically added as PM Profiles to the new tenant 'SBC Test'.

➢ To add a PM template:
1. Access the Global scope (see Global and Tenant Scope).
2. Open the Perf Monitoring screen (System > Configuration > Perf Monitoring).

3. Click Add.

4. Configure the PM template using the table below as reference.

PM Template Parameter Descriptions

Parameter

Description

Name

Enter a name for the template. Choose an intuitive name to facilitate an operator-friendly network management experience later.

Description

Enter a free-text description of the template to help facilitate an operator-friendly network management experience. Example: "This template is for all tenants of Meteor Bank". This can help orient operators when managing complex networks.

Default

You can define a default PM Profile template which cannot be deleted until you configure another template as the default. The default PM template is duplicated as a PM profile in the PM Profiles page (see Configuring PM Profiles).

Send Event per Interval

Select this option for an event to be sent every 15 minutes, indicating that all parameters per device were successfully polled. If 10 devices were selected for polling, the event is sent indicating that all parameters on all 10 devices were successfully polled.

Filter by category

Select the 'Name' check box to filter all sub-categories for the selected category. In the example below, the 'Gateway' category includes a total of 28 metrics (the figure displays two of the sub-categories 'Call Stats' and 'Call Failures').

Filter by sub-category

Select the check box adjacent to the sub-category that you wish to filter. In the example below, 16 metrics are selected for the 'Call Stats' sub-category of the 'Gateway' category.

Values

Parameters are either Counters or Gauges . For Gauges , you can select Minimum, Maximum and Average values. For Counters , there is a single aggregated value.

Thresholds are configured at the SBC level in the device's Web interface, in the Open Device page. See the device's User's Manual for more information. Thresholds can alternatively be configured in an ini file and loaded to the ini the Software Manager. When a PM parameter value in the device crosses the configured threshold, the device generates an event that is sent to Live Platform.

5. Click OK (or Close to exit without saving the template).
