Peer-to-Peer Session Detail Report

Topic Last Modified: 2012-06-06

The Peer-to-Peer Session Detail Report returns detailed information about a peer-to-peer session. For example, if you select an instant messaging session, the report will tell you the number of messages sent by each of the two users in the session.

Accessing the Peer-to-Peer Session Detail Report

The Peer-to-Peer Session Detail Report can be accessed from any of the following reports (all of which can be accessed from the Monitoring Reports home page):

IP Phone Inventory Report
User Activity Report
Call Admission Control Report
Failure List Report

From within the Peer-to-Peer Session Detail Report you can access the Diagnostic Report by clicking the Diagnostic Report (Details) metric. You can also access the Top Failures Report by clicking either of these two metrics:

Response
Diagnostic ID

Making the Best Use of the Peer-to-Peer session Detail Report

The Peer-to-Peer Session Detail Report includes a large number of metrics, many of which might not be familiar to system administrators. Often-times, however, you can view a tooltip that offers a brief description of that metric simply by holding your mouse over the metric label.

Note that the actual metrics shown on a given report will depend on the type of peer-to-peer session you selected. An audio/video session will report a different set of metrics than an instant messaging session.

You can also hold your mouse over the Response code and Diagnostic ID metrics in order to obtain a description of those values:
