Widgets Page

The Widgets Tab provides a place where you can select and view graphical displays of data and statistics about the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (OECB) in the form of a widget. Most widgets correspond to an equivalent ACLI show command. A widget can display a list, a table, a graph, or text depending on the type of data and the purpose of the display.

The Widgets page displays a categorical list of widgets in the left-hand navigation pane and provides their descriptions in the center pane along with the corresponding ACLI show command, when one exists. You can populate the Favorite Widgets list with the widgets that you use the most often. The following screen capture shows the Widgets page display.

This screen capture shows the Widgets links as displayed on the Widgets tab

Some widgets display static information, while others display actionable information. For example, the IP Connections widget displays a static list of internet connections, and the Licenses widget displays a list of licenses along with controls to Add and Delete licenses. Some widgets immediately display any available information when you click the name of the widget, for example, Configuration Inventory. Other widgets require you specify a few settings before displaying information, for example, Agent Individual. Most widgets allow you to set the Auto Refresh Interval.

Each Widget displays the particular controls used for its purpose. The following table lists all of the possible Widget controls and describes their purpose. The system displays a variable set of tool icons at the right-side top of Widgets. You click these icons to set the controls that each widget supports.

Widgets and Descriptions

For each show command that you can use from the ACLI to see ECB Sync, Media, Signaling, and System data about the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (OECB), the system provides a corresponding Widget on the Web GUI. Widgets display the data in a graphical or textual format.

A Widget can display a table, text, a pie graph, or a line graph depending on the type of data and the purpose of the display. For example, the SIP Realms All widget displays an actionable table and the Recording widget displays static text. You can access the list of widgets from either the navigation pane on the Monitoring tab or from the Home page by clicking Add Widget.

Most of the Widgets automatically display any available data when you click the name of the Widget, but some Widgets require further input. Such Widgets include a Settings button in their display that launches a parameters dialog were you specify the data to display. For example, the Realm Specifics Widget requires you to set the name of the realm and the auto refresh interval.

Note:

You must set up a valid SIP configuration before the OECB can display any SIP data in a Widget, including the default Widgets.
The following tables list all of the widgets in the left column. The middle column displays the corresponding ACLI show command, if one exists. The right column describes the data that the Widget displays. Note that a few widgets do not correspond to a show command.

Note:

The following tables list the Widgets in the same order as displayed on the GUI, which is not alphabetical.

Command Line Interface Widgets

Like many devices, the Oracle Enterprise Communications Broker (OECB) includes an underlying management interface called the Command Line Interface (CLI). Support technicians use the CLI to display detailed information about the system in text format. Oracle makes this information available from the graphical user interface (GUI) with CLI Widgets, available from the OECB Widget page. The CLI Widgets can provide useful troubleshooting information, as well as insight into system operations.

To reach the CLI portal, go to the Widgets tab, Command, Command Line Portal. When you click the CLI portal link, the OECB displays the Settings page.

CLI portal settings include:

The portal includes an OK button and a Cancel button. When you click OK, the system displays the output of the command.

The system produces two types of CLI widgets, depending on the command invoked:

  • Text Display—The system displays the output of the command in an all-text format.
  • Tabular Display—The system displays the output of these commands in a table.
