How do you initiate the SIP tracing tool in Avaya Aura Session Manager?

To initiate the SIP tracing tool in Avaya Aura Session Manager, you must run the command traceSM from the command line of the Avaya Aura Session Manager. This command is specifically designed to capture and analyze SIP signaling messages that pass through the session manager, allowing administrators to troubleshoot and optimize SIP communication effectively.

Understanding the context of this command is significant. The traceSM tool focuses on SIP messages, which are crucial for monitoring and diagnosing issues related to call handling and session management, which are central functions of the Session Manager in the Avaya architecture.

The other options do not pertain to the correct application or environment for initiating SIP tracing. For instance, traceSIP is generally related to communication manager functionalities, while traceSM running from other areas, such as the System Manager or Communication Manager, would not provide the necessary insights specifically tied to the Session Manager’s operations. Thus, running traceSM from the Session Manager ensures the targeted and relevant SIP trace needed for effective troubleshooting.
