Using Monitoring Server ReportsMonitoring Server contains a set of standard reports that are published by Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Service. These reports, which are accessible by using a web browser, provide usage, call diagnostic information, and media quality information, all based on call detail recording (CDR) and Quality of Experience (QoE) records stored in the CDR and QoE databases.

Note that, in order to use these reports, you must install Monitoring Server reports on a computer that is running an instance of the SQL Server. For details, see Deploying Monitoring Server Reports.

In This Section System Usage Reports   The System Usage Reports provide system usage information

based on CDR data collected by the Monitoring Server.

Call Diagnostic Reports (per user)   The Call Diagnostic Reports provide per-user information about failed peer-to-peer and conferencing sessions.

Call Diagnostic Reports   The Call Diagnostic Reports provide summary information and diagnostic data for failed peer-to-peer and conferencing sessions.

Media Quality Diagnostic Reports   The Media Quality Diagnostic Reports provide information about call quality as well as diagnostic and troubleshooting information for failed calls.

Locating RecordsMonitoring Server Reports only show a limited number of records on the screen at any one time. The actual number of records displayed on a screen varies depending on the report. To view the records that are not currently shown on the screen you can use the standard forward and backward control (found on each report’s toolbar) that enable you to page through the data. You can also quickly jump to the first page or the last page of the dataset.

In addition to using the forward and backward controls, you can also jump to any page in the dataset simply by typing the page number in the Current Page box and then pressing ENTER.

In addition to providing the ability to page through the data, each report also includes the limited ability to find records. To find records based on a given value, type that value into the Find box and then click Find. The report begins searching through the data and stops on the first instance of the value that you entered in the Find box. To find the next record that meets the search criteria, click Next.As noted, the Monitoring Server Reports provide only the most basic search functions. For example, you cannot specify which field the value should be found in. The search mechanism will automatically hunt for matching values in every field in every record. You cannot use wildcards in your searches, and all searches will look for partial values. That means that if you search for 111 the search will find not only the value 111 but also the values 11100, 811, 3112, 611A5B, and any other fields that include the value 111 anywhere within that field.

Each report is configured to show a default set of records. For example, by default the User Registration Report shows user registration activities for the past week. In some cases, this might result in a report that returns no records. In this case, it means that no user registrations have taken place in the past week. If you see the message “No results match the report filters,” try changing the filter values (for example, change the time period to the past month rather than the past week) and rerun the query. For details, see the "Filtering Data" section later in this topic.

Filtering DataThere will likely be times when you want to look at only a subset of records. For example, only peer-to-peer sessions as opposed to both peer-to-peer sessions and conference sessions. Likewise, there will be times when you need to reduce the number of records that are returned. By default, a report can only display the first 1,000 records in a data set. To address these issues, most reports include a number of filtering options. For example, if you want to view only records for the time period January 1, 2011 through January 15, 2011 most reports allow you to enter January 1, 2011 in the From box and January 15, 2011 in the To box. If you then click View Report, the returned data will be limited to activities that took place between January 1, 2011 and January 15, 2011.

The filters available to you vary depending on the report that you are viewing. For details about a specific report, see the help topic for that report.

Exporting DataThe Monitoring Server Reports provide at least two different ways to export the data included in a report. For one, you can use the Export option in the toolbar that appears at the top of each report. To use this option, first select the desired export format from the Select a format drop-down list. The following formats are available to you:

XML file with report data

CSV (comma delimited)

Acrobat (PDF) file

MHTML (web archive)

Excel

TIFF file

Word

After selecting a format, click Export. When the File Download dialog box appears, click Save. In the Save As dialog box, select a destination folder, enter a file name, and then click Save.

If you have Microsoft OneNote installed, you can also copy the report data to OneNote. To do this, right-click the View Report button on the toolbar. In the Select Location in OneNote dialog box select the section in OneNote where you want to copy the data, and then click OK.

System Usage ReportsThe System Usage Reports provide system usage information based on call detail recording (CDR) data collected by the Monitoring Server.

In This Section User Registration Report   The User Registration Report provides a summary of user

connectivity to the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 deployment based on registration events such as user logons. The report provides a way to view both internal and external logons, and to compare the number of users who logged on to Lync Server 2010 with the number of users who actually used the service while they were logged on.

Peer-to-Peer Activity Summary Report   The Peer-to-Peer Activity Summary Report provides a summary of peer-to-peer IM, audio, video, file transfer, and application sharing sessions. Peer-to-peer sessions are sessions involving just two users.

Conference Summary Report   The Conference Summary Report provides a summary of all conference activities. Conferences are sessions involving three or more people.

PSTN Conference Summary Report   The PSTN Conference Summary Report provides a summary of all PSTN conferences; these are conferences in which at least one user dials in using the public switched telephone network (PSTN). In Lync Server, this is also referred to as dial-in conferencing.

Response Group Usage Report   The Response Group Usage Report provides a summary of Response Group usage. The Response Group application provides a way for you to automatically route phone calls to entities such as a help desk or customer support line.

IP Phone Inventory Report   The IP Phone Inventory Report provides information about the IP phones currently in use in the organization. Note that the report is based on phone registrations and logons; it should not be considered a complete inventory. For example, you might have gotten rid of phones that are still listed in the report (because they logged on at least once). Likewise, you might also have newly-purchased phones that will not show up in the report simply because they have not yet been used to log on to Lync Server.

Call Admission Control Report   The Call Admission Control Report provides a list of peer-to-peer and conference activities that use call admission control. Call admission control (CAC) is a way of determining whether you should allow real-time communications sessions, such as voice or video calls, based on bandwidth constraints.

User Registration ReportThe User Registration Report provides a summary of user connectivity to the Microsoft Lync Server 2010 deployment based on registration events such as user logons. The report provides a way to view both internal and external logons, and to compare the number of users who logged on to Lync Server 2010 with the number of users who actually used Lync Server 2010 while they were logged on.

Microsoft Lync Server 2010 Guide: Using Monitoring Server Reports

FiltersFilters provide a way for you to return a more finely-targeted set of data or to view the returned data in different ways. For example, the User Registration Report enables you to view data for all your Registrar pool and Edge Servers or to view data for an individual pool. You can also choose how data should be grouped. In this case, registrations grouped by hour, day, week, or month.

The following table lists the filters that you can use with the User Registration Report.

Round trip (ms) No Average amount of (in milliseconds) required for a real-time transport protocol (RTP) packet to travel to another endpoint and then back. Round-trip times of 100 milliseconds or less are considered of acceptable quality.

High round-trip values can be caused by international call routing, a routing misconfiguration, or an overloaded media server. High round-trip times result in difficulties with two-way, real-time audio conversations.

Degradation (MOS) No Average amount of mean opinion score (MOS) degradation experienced during a call. Degradation values can range from a low of 0.0 to a high of 5.0. A value of 0.5 or less represents acceptable degradation. Historically, mean options scores were calculated by having users rate the quality of a call on a scale of 1-to-5. In Microsoft Lync Server 2010, the Monitoring Server uses a set of algorithms to predict how users would have rated a call.

High degradation values can be caused by congestion, lack of bandwidth, wireless congestion or interference, or an overloaded media server or endpoint. High degradation results in distorted or lost audio.

Name Can you sort on this item? Description

Packet loss No Average rate of RTP packet loss. (Packet loss occurs when RTP packets, a protocol used for transmitting audio and video across the Internet, failed to reach their destination.) High loss rates are generally caused by congestion, lack of bandwidth, wireless congestion or interference, or an overloaded media server. Packet loss typically results in distorted or lost audio.

Jitter No Average jitter detected between RTP packet arrivals. (Jitter is a measure of the "shakiness" of a call.) High jitter values are typically caused by congestion or an overloaded media server, and result in distorted or lost audio.

Healer concealed ratio No Average ratio of concealed audio samples to the total to the total number of samples. (A concealed audio sample is a technique used to smooth out the abrupt transition that would usually be caused by dropped network packets.) High values indicate significant levels of loss concealment applied caused by packet loss or jitter, and results in distorted or lost audio.

Healer stretched ratio No Average ratio of stretched audio samples to the total to the total number of samples. (Stretched audio is audio that has been expanded to help maintain call quality when a dropped network packet has been detected.) High values indicate significant levels of sample stretching caused by

Healer compressed ratio No Average ratio of compressed audio samples to the total number of samples. (Compressed audio is audio that has been compressed to help maintain call quality when a dropped network packet has been detected.)

Degradation (MOS) Yes Average amount of mean opinion score (MOS) degradation experienced during a call. Degradation values can range from a low of 0.0 to a high of 5.0. A value of 0.5 or less represents acceptable degradation. Historically, mean options scores were calculated by having users rate the quality of a call on a scale of 1-to-5. In Microsoft Lync Server 2010, the Monitoring Server uses a set of algorithms to predict how users would have rated a call.

High degradation values can be caused by congestion, lack of bandwidth, wireless congestion or interference, or an overloaded media server or endpoint. High degradation results in distorted or lost audio.

Packet loss Yes Average rate of real-time transport protocol (RTP) packet loss. (Packet loss occurs when RTP packets, a protocol used for transmitting audio and video across the Internet, failed to

Jitter Yes Average jitter detected between RTP packet arrivals. (Jitter is a measure of the "shakiness" of a call.) High jitter values are typically caused by congestion or an overloaded media server, and result in distorted or lost audio.

Healer concealed ratio Yes Average ratio of concealed audio samples to the total to the total number of samples. (A concealed audio sample is a technique used to smooth out the abrupt transition that would usually be caused by dropped network packets.) High values indicate significant levels of loss concealment applied caused by packet loss or jitter, and results in distorted or lost audio.

Healer stretched ratio Yes Average ratio of stretched audio samples to the total to the total number of samples. (Stretched audio is audio that has been expanded to help maintain call quality when a dropped network packet has been detected.) High values indicate significant levels of sample stretching caused by jitter, and result in audio sounding robotic or distorted.

Location ReportThe Location Report provides a list of network locations and a summary of the media quality of the calls that occur at each location. For purposes of this report, locations are based on IP subnets.

FiltersFilters provide a way for you to return a more finely-targeted set of data or to view the returned data in different ways. For example, the Location Report enables you to filter on such things as the location where a call was originated or whether the call took place on a wireless or a wired connection. You can also choose how data should be grouped. In this case, calls are grouped by hour, day, week, or month.
