METHOD FOR REMOTE HEALTH MONITORING IN A SIP-BASED COMMUNICATION NETWORK AND HEALTH MONITORING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for remote health monitoring in a SIP-based communication network (1) in which a plurality of platforms (2, 4, 5, 6) are connected to each other, each platform (2, 4, 5, 6) comprising at least one SIP server (3, 7, 8, 9), wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing an action manager (13) for a first server (7) located at a first platform (4) of the plurality of platforms (2, 4, 5, 6), preparing, by the action manager (13), an action request to be sent to an action agent (14) provided for a second server (8) at a second platform (5) from the plurality of platforms (2, 4, 5, 6), wherein the action manager (13) uses a SIP OPTIONS message and inserts the action request script into the SIP OPTIONS message body, the action request script comprising instructions for performing health monitoring. Further, the present invention relates to a health monitoring system.
