Channel Monitoring Articles

Prerequisites

The following permissions:

  • Architect > Flow > Add
  • Architect > Flow > Edit
  • Architect > Flow > View

When you add a new flow, consider the following:

  • The maximum length of a flow name is 200 characters.
  • Newly created flows may take a few seconds to appear. Because authors typically begin configuring the flow immediately, this delay may go unnoticed. To update the current list, click the Refresh button on the Architect Home page.
  • You can select a default language from the current list of support TTS languages. However, if the language you want to use with prompts is not listed, you can change the flow to any language. For more information, see Languages and runtime data playback.
  • You cannot duplicate names for flows or prompts of the same type, but you can use the same name across types. For example, you can use the name "Main" for one inbound flow and one outbound flow, but not two inbound flows. 

Note: For first-time flow creation, Architect selects the default language set for your organization. In the Create Flow dialog box, when you select a default language that differs from the organization's default language, Architect applies the alternate language only to the new flow.

Continue to the Resource Center page https://help.mypurecloud.com/articles/create-a-call-flow/ to begin creating a flow according to your company’s design. Learn about tips and best practices when designing a flow for Architect, then configure and publish the flow for use in routing.

Channel Monitoring Media Files are uploaded via the Channel Monitoring - Media Files page. The uploaded media is used for the Receive Media and Send Media Call Stages of a Call Flow.

Please ensure you upload .WAV audio files with the following supported audio codecs:

  • G.711 Mu Law - pcmu/8000
  • G.711 A Law - pcma/8000

NOTE: Channel Monitoring only accepts G.711 Mu Law - pcmu/8000 and G.711 A Law - pcma/8000. Channel Monitoring will automatically detect the codec negotiated between the peers of a call and execute the necessary transcoding while sending media so that the output audio matches the codec of the call.

Add new media

Please use the following steps to upload a new Media File:

  1. Select Channel Monitoring > Media Files from the Workbench navigation bar.
    • The Channel Monitoring - Media Files page is displayed.
    • A Currently there are no Media Files uploaded message is presented if no Media Files are yet configured.
  2. Click the Upload Media File button.
  3. The Upload IVR Media File dialog is displayed.
  4. In the Category field, provide a descriptive Category name (i.e. "Support") for the media being uploaded
    • This category is used to logically group the files; if a Category already exists, it will display in the drop-down list; otherwise a new Category will be created
  5. In the Name field, provide a descriptive Name (i.e. "Welcome")
  6. For the File field, simply drag and drop the file on this field or click Select to browse to the file to be uploaded
    • NOTE: Uploaded files must be in .wav format.
  7. Click the Save button.

The Channel Monitoring Reports page provides historical insights into the Call Flow tests, their specific behavior and results.

  1. Select Channel Monitoring > Reports from the Workbench top navigation bar.
  2. Select a Call Flow from the Call Flow Name drop-down list
    • The CM Report is generated and data is displayed for a time-range of the current day.
  3. If needed, from the Time Range drop-down, select a different timescale.
  4. If and when the Time Range is changed, click the Refresh button to update the data

CM Reports Content

Each tab in the CM Reports section provides a different view of the available data on the selected Call Flow.

  • Call Metrics
  • Stage Results
  • Call Results
  • Call Details

Call Metrics Report

The Call Metrics report uses a graph and table to describe the behavior of a Call Flow in time. The horizontal axis shows the date/time in which individual calls were executed. The vertical axis can be modified on the dropdown list to change the metric (Call Duration, Jitter, Time Wait for Agent) used to analyze the call.

The Jitter and Time Wait for Agent metrics have three thresholds that can be configured in the Alarms section of the Call Flow configuration; the threshold for each severity (Critical, Major, Minor) is shown in the graph as a different horizontal line.

  • Call Duration - The length of the call in seconds. The duration is measured from the moment Channel Monitoring starts the call (i.e., sends the first SIP invite message), until the call is finished because it either encounters an error or ends as expected.
  • Wait Time for Agent - The amount of time in minutes between the start of the transfer to an agent, and the moment when the agent answers the call.
  • Jitter - A measure of the quality of the call. In the context of Channel Monitoring, jitter is understood as “the variation of a signal with respect to some clock signal, where the arrival time of the signal is expected to coincide with the arrival of the clock signal.” In this case, the signal refers to the RTP packets downloaded to Channel Monitoring, and the clock signal is the RTP clock rate for the media stream. Jitter is measured in milliseconds. 

Stage Results Report

The report aggregates all the Stage results across the different calls for the given Call Flow. For example, if a call fails while sending audio because of an unexpected hang-up, this will increase the count for Unexpected Hang-Ups during that specific send media stage.

  • Success - All stages were executed and their results were as expected.
  • Pending Result - The call has finished and is being analyzed to determine if it failed at some point of its execution or if it’s a success. Even though most results are determined in real-time during the execution of the call, some could be delayed to the end of the call (such as media analysis).
  • Registrar Connection Failed - The SIP account used by Channel Monitoring to make calls could not connect to SIP Server. This would usually occur during the Start Call stage when Channel Monitoring tries to reach SIP Server. Possible causes include problems trying to resolve the domain name or IP address of SIP Server.
  • Account Authentication Failed - The SIP account used by Channel Monitoring to make calls could not authenticate against SIP Server using the provided credentials. This would usually occur during the Start Call stage when Channel Monitoring tries to register the account in SIP Server.
  • Unexpected Hang-up - The call was being executed and it stopped in an unexpected moment. Calls should end (hang-up) during the End Call stage and the Wait for Agent stage when the initial call is replaced because of the transfer to the agent. If the call ends at any other stage, it will be considered an unexpected hang-up.
  • No Answer - Channel Monitoring was not able to reach the target DN and complete the Start Call transaction after a given timeout. This could occur during the Start Call stage as Channel Monitoring tries to set up the call with the System Under Test.
  • Media Analysis Failed - Media received during the call did not match the expected media. A call could have various Receive Media stages where audio is received and then analyzed to determine if it matches the expected audio. This comparison produces a percentage error that, when high enough, will produce this error.
  • No Answer from Agent - A transfer to an agent was expected to occur but no provided DN answered the call before the given timeout. In this case, Channel Monitoring waits for the call to get transferred to one of the DNs provided during the call flow creation. The call might get transferred but it will only be successful if the target of the transfer is contained in the list of DNs set up by the user while configuring the Wait for Agent stage.

Call Results Report

The Call Results report presents the overall outcome for the calls placed against the Call Flow and the number of times each outcome has occurred.

  • Success
  • Pending Result
  • Account Authentication Failed
  • Unexpected Hang-up
  • No Answer
  • Other
  • Media Analysis Failed
  • Unknown
  • No Answer From Agent

Call Details Report

This report uses a tabular view to present various properties of the test calls. Each row represents the execution of a single call from the respective Call Flow. The possible execution results for a call are Success and Fail; if the call Failed, the table will show the Stage in which it failed and the reason for the error.

With the Workbench Channel Monitoring feature, you can create, schedule, and manually initiate SIP voice test calls into you're Engage platform to proactively identify potential interaction and routing issues before your customers are impacted; this feature tests voice SIP/IVR/DTMF/PROMPT menu call flows, ensuring your service is functioning as designed and raising alarms within the Workbench Alarms Console when errors are encountered.

NOTE: To utilize the Channel Monitoring feature of Workbench, your environment must have a Genesys SIP Server 8.1 or higher and DN’s configured for use as the Destination and Caller User DN's for Channel Monitoring initiated test calls.

With the Workbench Channel Monitoring feature you can:

  • Create and run SIP/IVR contact center voice test calls
  • Schedule recurring voice test calls to continuously monitor the health of the call processing environment
  • Model Call Flows through IVR menus and routing to contact center Agents
  • Visualize Channel Monitoring Call Flow Statistics
  • Control Call Flows with Edit, Stop/Start, Schedule and Manual Test capabilities
  • Generate Channel Monitoring reports on Call Flow test results, call quality (jitter), and other call test metrics
    • Reports available:
      • Call Metrics
      • Call Stage Results
      • Call Results
      • Call Details
  • Configure Channel Monitoring thresholds for various call test parameters and error conditions
    • Whenever a configured threshold is exceeded, a Workbench alarm will be generated - visible via the Workbench Alarms Console
    • These alarms can then be correlated with alarms, configuration changes to help diagnose problems that may have occurred

The following sections will guide you on:

  • Creating Channel Monitoring Call Flows and Call Stages
  • Call Flow Schedules
  • Call Flow Alarms
  • Statistic Summary
  • Uploading Media Files
  • Generating Reports

Workbench Channel Monitoring Call Flow Stages

Workbench Channel Monitoring Call Flow Schedule

  • The Call Flow will be tested, based on the Call Flow Schedules every day at 07:30 via the WB_IO_Primary application that’s deployed in Chennai, India

Workbench Channel Monitoring Call Flow Started

  • The Call Flow 3999_to_2002 is Started and will initiate test calls based on the associated Schedule (i.e. 07:30)

Prerequisites: Telephony > Plugin > All permission

The maximum call settings allow you to limit or expand the maximum number of combined active inbound and outbound calls that are allowed on an external trunk or on a phone trunk. On an external trunk, the maximum call settings are a per trunk setting.

The maximum call settings are configured a bit differently for BYOC Cloud trunks (BYOC Carrier and BYOC PBX) and BYOC Premises trunks (External SIP).

BYOC Cloud 

Under BYOC Cloud trunks, the setting is called Max Concurrent Calls and it consists of two options: Unlimited and Limited.

The default setting is Unlimited. Genesys has optimized the Max Concurrent Calls setting to be set to Unlimited. As such, Genesys recommends leaving the Max Concurrent Calls set to Unlimited.

However, if you or your carrier determine that setting a limit on the number of concurrent calls is required, then you should select Limited and enter a value. When selecting the Limited option, Genesys recommends that you carefully evaluate the number of calls that you want to be able to handle concurrently.

  1. Click Admin.
  2. Under Telephony, click Trunks.
  3. Click the appropriate tab: External Trunks or Phone Trunks.
  4. From the list, select the trunk you want to configure.
  5. Under the External Trunk Configuration, click General.
  6. Under Max Concurrent Calls, leave the default setting of Unlimited or select Limited to and enter a value in the box.
  7. Proceed to the Common settings section of this article.

BYOC Premises

Under BYOC Premises, the maximum call settings apply to both external trunk and phone trunk settings. You set a specific value in the box to specify the maximum number of combined active inbound and outbound calls allowed. Or you can enter a 0 (zero) in the box to configure the trunk to accept an unlimited number of calls.

Note: If you set Max Calls to 0 (zero), be sure to take into account the concurrent call capacity for your Edge devices. Setting the Max Calls to 0 (zero) does not increase the Edge’s concurrent call capacity. For more information, see Concurrent call capacity for Edge models

Note: The WebRTC phone trunk does not have a Max Calls setting.

  1. Click Admin.
  2. Under Telephony, click Trunks.
  3. Click the appropriate tab: External Trunks or Phone Trunks.
  4. From the list, select the trunk you want to configure.
  5. Under the External Trunk Configuration or the Connection Configuration section, click General.
  6. In the Max Calls box, enter the maximum number of combined inbound and outbound active calls.
  7. Proceed to the Common settings section of this article.

Common settings

  1. In the Max Call Rate box, enter the average number of calls permitted per second. 
  2. In the Max Dial Timeout box, enter the maximum delay allowed before an outgoing call attempt is aborted.
  3. In the Max Call Reason Code box, enter the SIP response code that you want the trunk to return when Max Call threshold is exceeded.

    Note: By default, a trunk returns a 503 Service Unavailable reason code if the Max Call threshold is exceeded. However, when you configure an external trunk, you can use the Max Calls Reason Code setting to specify a custom SIP response code for this condition. You can use a SIP response code in the 4xx, 5xx, or 6xx range. This allows you to configure a response code, such as 486 Busy Here, to more accurately indicate that the Max Call threshold is exceeded.
     
  4. Click Save External Trunk or Save Phone Trunk.

For more information on external trunk settings, see the External trunk settings reference.

        • agentIpAddress
    • If you are unsure which transfer method to use, include entries for both Refer and Re-Invite transfer formats.

Wait Stage

Waits for a specified period of time (milliseconds) before proceeding to the next stage of the Call Flow.

Properties

  • Wait Duration: (required)
    • The time in milliseconds for the Stage to wait

End Call Stage

Terminates/ends the call when the Call Flow reaches this stage; this Stage is required/fixed as the final stage for all Call Flows.

Stages and Media Files

Before executing a call, Channel Monitoring extracts the required audio files from the database and stores them on a directory located in the <Workbench Installation directory>/cm_cache path; these audio files are the items configured on the Send Media and Receive Media stages.

NOTE: In time, this directory can grow if there are a high number of different media files and Call Flows. Genesys recommends that users periodically check this directory and delete all of its contents if space is needed. This is a safe operation as long as no Call Flow that needs one of these audio files is executing at the same time as the deletion.

Channel Monitoring (CM) Call Flows are the primary templates for testing voice call routing, be that a simple call to a SIP DN or a call that navigates through an IVR with DFMT and speech recognition functionality and finally connecting to a contact center agent.

A Channel Monitoring Call Flow defines the different Stages in which a call will execute against the system that is being tested.

  1. Select Channel Monitoring > Call Flows from the Workbench top navigation bar.
  2. Click the Add Call Flow to create a new Call Flow.
  3. Enter a unique name in the Call Flow Name field.
  4. Select the Call Flow Application from the dropdown list.
    • This is the Workbench IO application that will initiate the CM test calls
    • The Data-Center field will be auto populated based on the Data-Center of the WB IO application
  5. The mandatory Start Call and End Call Stages are pre-populated in the Call Flow Stages list.

Build a Call Flow

  1. To build a Call Flow that will test your specific routing requirement, simply drag and drop a Stage from the Stage Palette on the left into the Call Flow Stages list window.
  2. From within the Call Flow Stages list, click on a specific Stage to expand, display, and edit its properties.
  3. Call Stages can be reordered within the list by dragging them to the desired location.
  4. Perform the necessary Call Flow modifications to match the desired test of your call routing.
