Threshold and Availability Profiles for a VoIP Monitor

Once a VoIP monitor is successfully added to your Site24x7 account, you can create a threshold and availability profile, and configure conditions for different metrics for the alarms engine to determine if a specific resource has to be declared critical or down. 

Read on to learn how to:

• Add a threshold and availability profile
• Edit a threshold and availability profile
• Delete a threshold and availability profile
• Associate a threshold profile with a VoIP monitor

Add a threshold and availability profile

1. Log in to your Site24x7 account.
2. Click Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
3. Click Add Threshold and Availability on the Add Threshold Profile screen.
4. Specify the following details:
   • Monitor type: Select VoIP monitor from the drop-down list.
   • Display name: Provide a label for identification purposes.
5. From the drop-down menu, choose the desired metrics for which thresholds need to be configured. Enter a value specific to the unit, and set the threshold conditions (<, <=, =, >, or >=) and the monitor state (to be notified as) for each metric. You'll receive alerts when these threshold conditions are violated.
6. For VoIP monitors, you can configure thresholds for the following metrics:
   Mean opinion score (MOS), round trip time, jitter (source to destination), jitter (destination to source), latency (source to destination), and latency (destination to source). 
7. Click Save. The threshold and availability profile created for the VoIP monitor will be automatically listed on the Threshold and Availability screen along with any profiles you've already created.

Edit a threshold and availability profile

1. Go to Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
2. Click the profile that you'd like to edit.
3. Edit the necessary parameters in the Edit Threshold Profile window.
4. Click Save.

Delete a threshold and availability profile

1. Go to Admin > Configuration Profiles > Threshold and Availability.
2. Click the profile that you'd like to delete in the Threshold and Availability screen.
3. This will redirect you to the Edit Threshold Profile window.
4. Click Delete.

Associate a threshold profile with a VoIP monitor

1. Go to Network > VoIP monitor.
2. Click the hamburger icon next to the desired VoIP monitor, and click Edit.
