CDR logging
Introduced with LumenVox's legacy product, is a logging method called Call Detail Records (CDRs) and is 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 mrcp-api/docker/logs/client/mrcp_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.
