Call Detail Records
Call Detail Records (CDR) contains vital statistic information on calls made from the device. The
device can generate and report CDRs at various stages of the call - end of call, or only at the start
and end of call. In addition, CDRs can be generated for SIP signaling and/or media. The device can
send CDRs to any of the following:
■ Syslog server. The CDR Syslog message complies with RFC 3164 and is identified by Facility
17 ("local1") and Severity 6 (Informational).
■ RADIUS server. For CDR in RADIUS format, see Configuring RADIUS Accounting. To
configure RADIUS servers for CDR reporting, see Configuring RADIUS Servers.
● To view Gateway CDRs stored on the device's memory, see Viewing Gateway
CDR History.
● To view SBC and Test Call CDRs stored on the device's memory, see Viewing
SBC CDR History.
Enabling CDR Generation and Configuring the CDR Server
Address
For the device to generate CDRs, you need to enable the Syslog feature and configure a collecting
server address. The collecting server can be a dedicated CDR server or the server used for Syslog
messages.
➢ To enable CDR generation and configure the CDR server address:
1. Enable the Syslog feature (see Enabling Syslog).
2. Open the Call Detail Record Settings page (Troubleshoot menu > Troubleshoot tab > Call
Detail Record folder > Call Detail Record Settings).
3. In the 'CDR Server IP Address' [CDRSyslogServerIP] field, enter the IP address of the server
to where you want the CDRs sent.
4. Click Apply.
If you do not configure an IP address for a CDR server, the device sends the CDRs to
the address that you configured for the Syslog server (see Enabling Syslog).
