To view troubleshooting data for a customer, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Your partner organization sold the subscription to a customer.
  • You're a partner full administrator in the partner organization, which lets you see troubleshooting data for all customers.
  • You're a partner administrator in the partner organization, which lets you see troubleshooting data for the customers that you'ave been assigned to.
  • You're a full administrator in the customer organization that you want to view troubleshooting data for.

We include a powerful Diagnostics section as well, where you can drill down even further into specific meetings that are in progress or that have occurred within the past 21 days. Search for meetings by meeting number, the email address of the host or participants, conference ID, or the name of cloud-registered devices. You can then drill down into participant details, hop details, video quality, audio quality, and more.

1

Sign in to Partner Hub and go to Troubleshooting.

2

Search for a meeting by a user's email address, meeting number, or conference ID.

3

In the search results, select a meeting to view troubleshooting data.

Once you select a meeting from the search view, you see the details for that meeting. This view lists all the participants on the left side, participant usage and quality information in the middle, and a sliding right panel with specific meeting details.

Key performance indicators (KPIs)

KPIs are available at the top to give you a quick view of the media quality experienced during the meeting. The KPIs available are:

  • Total participants—The number of participants who joined the meeting. When it's a meeting, the number of guests are shown at the bottom of this KPI. When it's an event, panelists are shown at the bottom. Click on the filter icon to only show guests or panelists.

  • Poor audio minutes—The percentage of audio minutes at or above the poor media quality threshold out of the total minutes in the meeting. Click on the filter icon to sort participants who had the most poor audio minutes at the top.

  • Poor video minutes—The percentage of video minutes at or above the poor media quality threshold out of the total minutes in the meeting. Click on the filter icon to sort participants who had the most poor video minutes at the top.

  • Poor sharing minutes—The percentage of sharing minutes at or above the poor media quality threshold out of the total minutes in the meeting. Click on the filter icon to sort participants who had the most poor sharing minutes at the top.

  • Unexpected drops—The percentage of participants who left the meeting early due to a connection, software, or hardware issue. Click on the filter icon to sort participants who had the most unexpected drops at the top.

Participants list

The name of the participant or device, and the icon of the device used to join the meeting, shows up on the left. If someone joins a meeting using their Webex client and they connect audio with call back over PSTN, then two entries are shown. For example, when you call into a meeting and your Webex App is paired with a Cisco Room Device, there are two entries: Webex App and Room Device.


 

To speed up loading time, the default number of participants shown at one time is 25, and participants are divided into pages. You can increase the number of participants shown per page with the drop-down menu at the bottom of the list.

Search for specific participants

Enter the name of a participant that you want to look at the metrics for. You can add to the list by searching for another participant.

Filter participants list

Click on the search bar to bring up a list of filters that you can filter participants by. The available filters are:

  • Platform—Filters participants by the operating system of the device used to join the meeting.

  • Client—Filters participants by the type of application used to join the meeting.

  • Participant—Filters participants by an assigned role, such as as guest or host.

  • Quality—Filters participants by who experienced poor or fair quality thresholds.

  • Location—Filters participants by a certain location.

  • Media region—Filters participants by the data center or on-premises cluster that they connected to.

Reorganize participants list

Use the drop-drop menu to sort participants by alphabetical order, by poorest audio, video, or share quality first, or by locations.

View which participant paired with a device

When a participant uses a device or connects through PSTN to join a meeting, the name of the participant shows up under the device. This helps you see which participants paired with which device, making it easier for you to reach out to the correct participant to assist them.

Hover over a participant to see a short summary about the participant, such as the client type used to join the meeting. When someone calls into a meeting, you can see what time they joined the meeting and the amount of time that they were in the meeting.

Submit feedback

Click on the announcement button next to the information available to let us hear your thoughts. If you think the information's helpful, you can give it a thumbs up. If you don't think an information's helpful, click on the edit button to write down your comments on how we can improve the information for you.

Submitting feedback in Troubleshooting

Join meeting time (JMT)

The JMT for each client is captured with the exception of calls using PSTN. JMT is calculated in seconds as (the time from clicking the meeting link to loading the preview window) + (the time from clicking the Join Now button in the preview window to connecting into the meeting).

JMT doesn’t count the time the user spends browsing menus, making selections in the preview window, or waiting in the lobby.

A JMT of less than 10 seconds is shown in green, between 10 and 20 seconds is shown in yellow, and over 20 seconds is shown in red. Hover over the colored dot to see the JMT of a participant.


 

A participant’s join meeting time will always show the first time that the participant joined the meeting, even if the participant leaves and re-joins the meeting multiple times.

Audio, video, and sharing tab

You can switch between the audio, video, and sharing tabs to see the detailed views of a meeting or call, which includes JMT, usage, and quality metric.

How media quality data is captured

Media quality data is captured every minute and visualized using green (good), yellow (fair), or red (poor). These colors are based on the end-to-end packet loss and average latency only. The types of packet loss captured are:

  • End to End—The speaker's sending packet loss from their Webex client to the participant's Webex client, captured after packet recovery.

  • Sending—Participant's Webex client to the Webex cloud.

  • Receiving—Webex cloud to the participant's Webex client.

If you see a dotted gray line, it means the audio, video, or sharing of the device is turned off. If you see a solid gray line, that indicates only minimal data is available, like usage and JMT. Solid gray lines mean the user joined the meeting with an application or device that is older than the minimum supported version or a Cisco on-premises device.

You can hover over a line to see a summary of the quality metric as a pop-up.

Host and panelist indicator

An H icon indicates when a participant becomes the host of the meeting.

End meeting indicator

If a participant joined a meeting using VoIP with the Webex Meetings app, Webex App, or a device, then you can see how a meeting ended for that participant. A green line icon indicates when a participant left a meeting normally, while a red line icon indicates when a participant left a meeting unexpectedly, such as getting dropped from a meeting due to a system or network issue.
