Example 1 - System Outage: In this example, everything looks normal - the vast majority of responses are 2xx, or successful responses with only a small percentage of authorization errors, which is to be expected.  Then at 8am there is an outage, causing a rapid spike of Internal Server Errors on Invites.

Example 2 - Security issue: This traffic was observed on an external facing SBC - 3/4 of all Invites were met with a Authorization 401, or 403 response code, indicating heavy security attacks requiring further input from engineers

Example 3 - Configuration issue: When filtering by message type, it can be seen that a large percentage of service messages are returning a 'Bad Request' error.  This is likely caused by an internal implementation error where something is querying the SIP server for a service response, but has been misconfigured.

Troubleshooting

Image ModifiedNot seeing any SIP response code data? 

  1. Check SIP Tracing is enabled within the configuration of your Session Manager or Session Border Controller.
    1. Further help configuring SIP Tracer is available here.
    2. Note for v8.0 of Avaya SBCs there is a known issue enabling the SIP Tracer, where clicking the checkbox on the SBC does not save.
  2. Ensure any firewalls or network security allows the SIP Traces to route to the VSM Collector IP address on UDP port 514.     
  3. Still having issues? Contact your Business Partner or Virsae support.
