3.4 AttendantCalls

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor an active switch processing element (SPE) for statistics related to call attendants. This script raises an event if a monitored value exceeds the threshold you set. In addition, this script generates data streams for the following statistics:

  • Answered calls

  • Calls abandoned before being answered

  • Calls abandoned while on hold

  • Calls placed on hold

  • Queued calls

  • Number of minutes attendants are active

  • Average call answer time

NOTE:If you discover a call manager with AVAYA-AURA-CM-MIB SNMP MIBs (Communication Manager version 6.3.141 or later), or if you bypass SNMP to discover a call manager, this script is not available.
