What you see here are three CDR entries that record a call from x1503 to x1501. If you are
able to decode most of what is displayed in that log, you are definitely ahead of the game.
Sending messages to a syslog server is better than sending them to the RAM of the CME
router. A syslog server is a PC or server running a dedicated application that receives and
stores logging messages from one or more devices. There are many syslog server platforms
available for download on the Internet.
Note:
The Kiwi Syslog Daemon (
www.kiwisyslog.com)
is by far my (Jeremy) favorite sys-
log platform available. The fact that it is free helps, but it is also easy to install and manage.
After you set up a syslog server, you can direct the CME router to send CDR records to it
by using the following syntax:
CME_Voice(config)#
gw-accounting syslog
CME_Voice(config)#
logging 172.30.100.101
The initial command in this syntax directs the CDR records to the syslog server. The sec-
ond command tells the CME router where the syslog server is located; in this case,
172.30.100.101. Figure 7-21 shows the CDR records being received by the Kiwi Syslog
application.
