Monitoring and managing Meeting Rooms

Sametime 8.5.2 and the introduction of the new WAS-based Meeting Server has changed the way meetings are created and stored. Prior to version 8.5.2, as well as on the Classic Meeting Server, meetings were created like calendar appointments with a start time and duration.

In the new Meeting Server, meetings are created immediately and available indefinitely. Because they are available indefinitely, meetings can quickly accumulate on a Meeting Server. Even though a meeting does not use up system resources unless it is being used, it is an additional disk usage and potential performance overhead that should be monitored.

To review meetings on a server and how they are being used, use the Meeting Room Statistics view from the home page of the Meeting Server.

If you cannot see or access statistics on this home page, you will need to add yourself as an administrator for the Meeting Server in the SSC.
