Why each option
When a video call fails on Cisco VCS, checking the Search History and Event Log provides the most immediate diagnostic information about routing failures and system errors.
Configuration > Call Policy defines rules for allowing or blocking calls and is a configuration item, not a live diagnostic status view.
Status > Registrations confirms whether an endpoint is registered but does not explain why a specific call attempt failed.
Status > Search History shows the dial plan search results for recent call attempts, revealing whether the VCS found a matching route or the specific reason a call was rejected. This directly exposes misconfigured search rules or missing dial plan entries that prevent a call from completing.
Status > System Information provides general hardware and software details about the VCS appliance, which is not useful for diagnosing a specific call failure.
Configuration > Dial Plan > Search Rules is where search rules are configured, not where call attempt results or routing errors are displayed.
Status > Event Log records a chronological list of all system-level events and error messages, capturing failure codes generated during a failed call attempt in real time. It is the primary tool for identifying errors that occur during call setup.
