Orion VoIP Monitor Module - NEW Addon
Note: The Orion VoIP Monitor Module is not yet generally available. The planned General Availability date is late August and may be subject to change. Please note that Orion VoIP Monitor requires Orion 8.5, which will be released simultaneously with the VoIP Monitor.
The SolarWinds Orion VoIP Monitor Module enables you to measure and track the performance of voice quality across Wide Area Networks (WANs), where it matters most. Leveraging Cisco® IP SLAs, VoIP Monitor collects and analyzes VoIP performance statistics including MOS, jitter, network latency, packet loss and other important quality of service (QoS) metrics. These features enable you to proactively find the root cause of VoIP performance degradation and measure expected voice quality in advance of a VoIP deployment.
Orion VoIP Monitor also simplifies the configuration of IP SLA on Cisco routers – in fact, it can automatically configure the routers to collect VoIP QoS statistics without you ever having to lift a finger. VoIP Monitor delivers these powerful capabilities in an affordable, easy-to-deploy and user-friendly interface that offers the familiarity of Orion.
Orion VoIP Monitoring
VoIP Quality of Service Measurement
Orion VoIP Monitor uses Cisco’s IP SLAs to collect network performance statistics, without intruding on voice calls. These statistics include MOS, jitter, network latency, packet loss and other important QoS metrics that provide detailed visibility into VoIP performance. Even better, the Orion Web console offers a unified view of overall network health as it relates to VoIP performance, as well as a one-stop shop for alerts and reporting.
Alerts, Graphs and Reporting
Alerts can be created for any IP SLA-based data to notify you of performance degradation on the VoIP network. This ensures that you will know if and when thresholds are violated, indicating that parameters are outside of what is considered “good” for a given WAN link, and can immediately troubleshoot the issue.
VoIP Monitor also enables you to analyze historical trends with graphs and reports. These capabilities allow you to perform effective capacity planning for existing VoIP deployments and to measure expected voice quality in advance of a new VoIP deployment. Out-of-the-box VoIP QoS reports include statistics such as MOS, packet loss, jitter, latency and VoIP infrastructure availability over the last X days, across all call paths.
VoIP Infrastructure Monitoring
With VoIP Monitor, you can designate any network device (e.g., routers, switches, severs) as part of the “VoIP infrastructure” and create VoIP-specific alerts based on those devices. Devices are displayed in VoIP views, enabling you to perform complete fault and performance monitoring of the VoIP infrastructure.
Cisco CallManager Monitoring
VoIP Monitor provides out-of-the-box monitoring of Cisco’s CallManager, delivering detailed visibility into performance metrics that are indicative of the health of the VoIP environment. Monitored elements include active/inactive phones, active/inactive gateways, and server metrics, such as CPU utilization, memory, packet loss and average response time.
Auto-Configuration of IP SLA
VoIP Monitor simplifies the configuration of IP SLA on Cisco routers by automatically configuring the routers to collect VoIP QoS statistics. This makes VoIP Monitor quick and easy to deploy, saving you valuable time and ensuring that you reap immediate benefits.
