Here’s one of those times when I’m in the Avaya Communication Manager and I get an error. Happens to me all the time. What do you do when you get an error? Google it? Me too!

In my case, I wanted to see if I could get a report of packet loss from one of my network regions. Sure enough, there’s a packet loss report. You can perform this “list measurements” command:

list measurements ip voice-stats hourly pktloss 6





















No VNS resource administered
Command:

Hmm, no VNS resource. So I type that into google with quotes and there are no results! How can there be no results? I opened a ticket with Avaya and their expert systems didn’t return anything either. Later I was looking through some documentation and I recalled that you sometimes have to tell Communication Manager what you want to measure. Sure enough, if you “change measured selection network region”, you can add the network regions you want monitored.

Now when I type “list measurements ip voice-stats hourly pkloss 6” I get an empty report. Hopefully tomorrow I’ll have some stats. Do you ever wish you could automate this report? More on that later.

Thanks all!
