We have been quite disappointed by the Adtran VQM.  It often shows calls which 
had audio issues as being close to perfect.  It also often shows calls which 
sound perfect as having significant quality issues.

We don't allow reinvites so this might be part of the issue.   I don't have a 
lot more details (I was not involved in trying to diagnose the issue).

ADTRAN has some interesting Voice Quality Monitoring built into their switches, 
routers, etc:  http://adtran.com/web/url/vqm

Subject: [asterisk-users] Proactive problem monitoring on SIP on Asterisk

 

Hello,

1) I am wondering what is the best practice to monitor if there are or were 
problems with SIP calls on my Asterisk box. E.g. how about a software that 
extracts all calls from the /var/log/asterisk/full (I have permanently enabled 
verbose 10 and sip debug) log and tells me on which of them were problems? 
Checking the logs manually is very hard, but as SIP is a standardized 
protocoll, there should be tools doing that for you? As an example, a person 
calling me recently got a 488 Not acceptable error as reply from my Asterisk 
box. Nothing came through to my SIP phone, so I didn't know anything about the 
call or the problems (which were on his phone btw). I would like to be informed 
about such cases, know that there was a call to my Asterisk box that made 
problems.

2) How about monitoring speech quality? E.g. sometimes it seems like a packet 
is missing (I then have a short pause during the call), how to monitor such 
things and create statistics out of this data?

So basically I want to monitor my Asterisk installation proactively for 
reliability/problems and (speech) quality.

Thanks for any hints!

Best regards
Stefan
