Event summary view
This topic describes the Event summary view on the Sentinel screen.
This feature requires option E14 Sentinel. If you do not have this option this feature is not available.
Overview
The Event summary view mirrors the data that was sent by the operator. This view can be used by operators along with the Message summary view to verify the data that they are sending to law enforcement agencies is the correct data.
Each row on the view represents a call, which could be for example a voice, sms, data, signaling or social media data. If a call appears in green italics then that indicates that it is a call which is currently in progress.
You can define which columns are displayed on this tab and what they are titled. You can also define the column order, column filters, sorting and grouping. For further information refer to Using basic features of the Sentinel screen views. Some of the most commonly used columns are:
- Call Type: this indicates the type of call and if it is empty then it indicates it is purely signaling. If you click on the call's Comm # cell then a separate view opens allowing you to drill down into the details of the call. For further information refer to the Message summary view.
- Last Msg Time: this details the last time of any messaging for the call. By default the data on this view is ordered by the descending time in this column, that is the most recent data is displayed first.
- Start and Stop: these detail when the call was answered and released.
- Start Loc and End Loc: these detail the cell tower identifiers used at the start and end of the call.
- IAP System ID: this either displays the value detailed in the intercept message or an alias configured by your administrator. If the font in this column is red then it indicates that there is no time zone associated with the call. Contact your administrator who may be able to resolve the unknown time zone for you.
