CDR Logging

Reference Number: AA-02129 Views: 10725 0 Rating/ Voters

Introduced with LumenVox 15.0.100 was a new method of logging Call Detail Records (CDRs) associated with Media Server sessions.

This new log is automatically generated when the Media Server is running and creates a summary of each MRCP session that is processed to a new file in the LVLOGS folder named media_server_cdr.txt.

The format of this log file is Comma Separated Variables (.csv), which can be imported into a spreadsheet or database application as needed. An example CDR log file is shown below with a header to indicate the type of data contained in each column. Note that this column header does not appear in the actual log file.



As can be seen from this sample, there are subtle differences in formatting between MRCPv1 and MRCPv2 sessions, as well as between sessions using ASR and TTS resources.

Each column describes a unique characteristic of the session, as described in this table:

  

Column

  
  

Description

  
  

Session End

  
  

End time of the session

  
  

Type

  
  

Type of session (SIP or RTSP)

  
  

Call Index

  
  

Internal numerical index of the session

  
  

Session ID

  
  

Call-ID or Session identifier string

  
  

Session Start

  
  

Start of session time

  
  

Duration

  
  

Duration of session (milliseconds)

  
  

Server IP

  
  

Media Server's IP address

  
  

Client IP

  
  

Client's IP address

  
  

ServerRTP_Port

  
  

Server end of the audio  (RTP Port)

  
  

ClientRTP_Port

  
  

Client end of the audio (RTP Port)

  
  

MRCP_Port

  
  

MRCP port being used (or ephemeral port used when Type is RTSP)

  
  

Logging-Tags

  
  

Session Logging-Tags set for ASR / TTS (if any are present at the end of the session)

  
  

License Info

  
  

Summary of ASR / TTS licenses used during the session, separated by semicolons

  


OPTION and DESCRIBE sessions

Note that you may notice in the CDR log short-lived sessions that do not appear to use any ASR or TTS resources. This is quite normal, and is generally the result of OPTIONS or DESCRIBE requests that are being sent from the client to the LumenVox Media Server in order to determine service connectivity or the availability of certain resources.


Sample Files

Below are some sample files that may be helpful in understanding the format of these CDR logs. The CDR-Headers.csv file is not generated by the Media Server and is only provided here to help when reading these logs, or when importing them to a spreadsheet or database type application.
