SIP service monitoring
A NetScaler has two built-in monitors that you can use to monitor SIP services: the SIP-UDP and SIP-TCP monitors. A SIP monitor periodically checks the SIP service to which the SIP monitor is bound, by sending SIP request methods to the SIP service. If the SIP service replies with a response code, the monitor marks the service as UP. If the SIP service does not respond, or responds incorrectly, it is marked as DOWN.
| Parameter | Specifies |
|---|---|
| sipURI | SIP addressing schema of the SIP server. |
sipmethod |
Type of SIP request used to probe the SIP service. Specify one of the following methods: INVITE, OPTION (the default), REGISTER |
respcode |
SIP response code with which the SIP service responds the probe request. Default: 200. |
To configure SIP service monitoring using the CLI
At the command prompt, type:
add lb monitor <Monitor Name> <type> -respCode -sipMethod -sipURI
Example:
add lb monitor sip_mon1 -TCP -respCode 200 -sipMethod REGISTER -sipURI sip:mon@test.com
