CDR Search
In all CDR Search reports, the system only displays the oldest 100 records that fall into the time and date range that you configure. The CDR Search reports generate only in HTML format.
You can configure CDR searches to verify the details of a call. The search forms groups of all the related legs of a call, which can be useful if the call involves a conference or transfer. This method helps you track the progress and quality of each part of an entire call.
This section describes the following features:
-
CDR Search by User/Phone Number/SIP URL - Available for CAR administrators. You can search CDRs by user or directory number (calling, original called, final called, or bridge number) to analyze call details for the first 100 records that satisfy the search criteria. You can search for calls by using specific numbers for the period that you specify, which helps you trace calls that are placed from or to any specific numbers for diagnostic or informational purposes. All associated records, such as transfer and conference calls, appear together as a logical group. If you do not specify the phone number or SIP URL, the system returns the first 100 CDR records that match the date range that you specify.
-
CDR Search by Gateway - Available for CAR administrators. You can search CDRs by gateways to analyze the call details of calls that are using specific gateways. This method helps you trace issues on calls through specific gateways.
-
CDR Search by Cause for Call Termination - Available for CAR administrators. You can search CDRs by cause for call termination to get information about the cause for the termination of a call. You can choose from a list of causes for call termination and can generate the report for a particular date range. The generated report contains the report criteria, along with the total number of calls that were placed in the given time. In addition, a table displays with the fields Call Termination Cause Value and description, the total number of calls, and the percentage of calls for each Call Termination Cause, and an option to choose the CDRs.
-
CDR Search by Call Precedence Level - Available for CAR administrators. You can search CDRs by call precedence level. The report that generates allows you to view the CDRs on the basis of precedence. You can choose the precedence level and date range for which to generate a report. The report displays the number of calls and the percentage of these calls for each precedence level that you choose. Report criteria display the precedence levels and date range for which the report generated information in the Call Precedence Details window. You can view the media information and the CDR-CMR dump from the CDR Search by Precedence Levels Result window. The media information and CDR-CMR dump information display in separate windows.
-
CDR Search for Malicious Calls - Available for CAR administrators. You can search CDRs to get information about malicious calls. You can choose phone number or SIP URL and the date range for which to generate a report. The report displays the CDRs for all the malicious calls for a chosen phone number or SIP URL and date range. Report criteria display the phone number or SIP URL and the date range for which the report generated information. You can view the media information and CDR-CMR dump from the CDR-CMR search results window. The media information and CDR-CMR dump information display in separate windows.
-
Export CDR/CMR - Available for CAR administrators. With this feature, you can export CDR/CMR dump information, for a given date range in the CSV format, to a location that you choose on your computer. You can also view the file size of the dump information and delete CDR/CMR files.
Before You Begin
Make sure that you set the Unified Communications Manager service parameters CDR Enabled Flag and Call Diagnostics Enabled to True (enabled), so the system can generate CDR/CMR data. By default, the system disables these service parameters. For more information about these service parameters, see the CDR Service Parameters.
All CAR reports use CDR data. Be sure to have the most current CDR data from which to build your reports. By default, CDR data loads continuously 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. However, you can set the loading time, interval, and duration as needed. See CAR System Scheduler for more information.
Note |
After you log in to the CAR main window, the following warning may display if Unified Communications Manager is also activated: "Warning: In some servers in this cluster the CDR Enabled Flag is false and so CDR entries may not be generated for all the calls made in this cluster."Some clusters have multiple nodes where some of the nodes do not run Unified Communications Manager services. This warning checks all nodes in the cluster regardless of Unified Communications Manager service activation status. Ignore the warning after manually checking the CDR Enabled Flag parameter settings for all the Unified Communications Manager service subscribers. |
