<br><a href="http://www.cisco.com/ipsla" target="_blank">www.cisco.com/ipsla</a><br><br>I'm using it for various synthetic tests on our LAN and WAN links for such things as call quality and latency between CUCM subscribers. test results are pollable via SNMP and you can graph them with MRTG or cacti if you happen to use those.<br>
I'm not doing any alerting with it currently but I know it can be configured to send SNMP traps if a threshold is exceeded.<br><br>Ed<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c">On Thu, Jan 8, 2009 at 11:12 AM, Daniel Martin <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martind@cae.com" target="_blank">martind@cae.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<p><span lang="EN-CA">I'm looking to purchase good VoIP monitoring

<p><span lang="EN-CA">I want two different types of tool. </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA"> </span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-CA">One that is proactively monitoring the
network / QoS / Call Manager and notifies me of issues, able to do synthetic
tests as well. Some reports and dashboard are also something that is needed. I've
been researching products such as Prognosis, CA Ehealth (since we are using
Spectrum) and Cisco Operations Manager (Service Monitor).</span></p>

<p><span lang="EN-CA">The other product would be sniffer type
such as JDSU DA-3400 / Probe or something running on a laptop that can analyse voice
traffic on a SPAN port. Cisco has probes as well with their Service Monitor
product which sounds good. Anybody using probes to capture/analyse voice
traffic? Which product are you using and pros/cons?</span></p>
