The Oracle Communications Session Border Controller (SBC) collects statistics about the operations of its communications monitor probe, which provides protocol traffic information to the Operations Monitor. You can display information about the connections to the Operations Monitor servers using the show comm-monitor command.

The show comm-monitor command displays the following types of aggregated statistics for all clients:

• Client State
• Socket Statistics
• Other Aggregate Statistics

The SBC show comm-monitor command also shows the Lifetime statistics. The command runs without or with arguments. For example,

• show comm-monitor—Shows client connection states and aggregate stats
• show comm-monitor by-client <IP-Addr>—Shows client stats
• show comm-monitor errors—Shows errors captured by the Operations Monitor
• show comm-monitor internal—Shows SBC traffic-specific counters

The following example shows show comm-monitor output without arguments:

ORACLE# show comm-monitor
