Report Pack For OCS - A/V conferencing, app sharing and contact reports

Hi!

Currently MessageStats presents A/V conferencing as a combined figure. Could these two be divided into a separate reports in future releases? Audio and video conferencing usage is increasing now with the enhancements made in OCS 2007 R2 and I think many organizations would make a lot of use to these kind of reports.

I know audio and video have have dedicated MediaID values in CDR db so this information could be gathered with queries but MessageStats would make our lives so much easier

Another useful report would be Application Sharing report. Application Sharing also has a MediaID in CDR db.

I came across this blog http://blogs.technet.com/perez/archive/2009/07/18/application-sharing-monitoring-in-ocs-r2.aspx and I think this could be a really cool report in MessageStats as Office Communicator 2007 R2 has the desktop sharing functionality now and we've found users using this a lot more now.

We could also make use of User Contacts reports which would indicate the number of contacts within organization and distribution of them (internal, federated,public).


Cheers for a good product,
Ville Sormunen

Hi Ville,

Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestions. I have opened an enhancement request to add the following 3 peer to peer session reports and communicated your request to our product manager:
1. Communicator Calls\Audio Calls
2. Video Calls
3. Application Sharing Sessions

Currently MessageStats reports on Audio\Video Conferences which are conferences with 3 or more participants. In this case the mcu used is Audio\Video and the audio video conferencing service is used to establish this type of conference. As the audio video conferencing service is used, Microsoft just stores that it is an audio video conference in the CDR database.

The MediaID = Audio you are referring to in the CDR database is a Communicator call which is a peer to peer session between 2 users. The MediaID = Video in CDR database is a Video call generated using the communicator client (peer to peer session with 2 users). The MediaID = Application sharing refers to the Desktop sharing and application sharing peer to peer sessions. I have raised an enhancement request to add these 3 reports as per your request.

Thanks and regards,

Sawan Goyal.
