Creating a data source for Cisco CDR logs

Creating a data source for Cisco CDR logs

By creating a Cisco CDR log collection, you can gather data about Cisco voice-over-IP and other peer-to-peer sessions, ad hoc conferences, and MeetMe Conferences.

You gather the Cisco CDR (call detail recording) logs from one or more specified file shares. Typically, you set up a process to copy the log files from your Cisco server to a specified directory. For example, you could configure the Cisco Unified Communications Manager server to automatically upload the CDR logs to a directory you specify.

To configure a Cisco CDR log data collection, you must specify the following:

•
the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) server used to collect the Cisco configuration and the associated credential
•
the locations of the CDR log file shares from which you want to gather data
•
the credentials used to access the CDR logs

For information about prerequisites, see Permissions needed for the Cisco CDR logs data source .

To set up a Cisco CDR log collection
1
Click the gear icon on the home page side bar.
2
Click Data Collection.
3
Click + beside the name of the target environment.
4
Select the Cisco CDR Logs check box.
5
Enable the data collection for this data source.
 
* 
NOTE: If you have installed more than one Data Engine (Collector), you have the option to select a different computer that hosts a data collector.,
Modifying the collection schedule
By default the data collection is set to run every hour, aligned to midnight UTC. You can modify the run interval or you can set the collection to run at a specific time on specific days.
6
Set the schedule for the data collection:
a
Click Execute job every: and select an hourly interval.
- OR -
b
Click Execute job at: and select the specific job run time, the number of days between each job run, and a start date.
Selecting data to collect
7
Select the types of data that you want to collect.
8
Specify the Cisco Unified Communications Manager (CUCM) server to which you want to connect and the port to be used.
9
Specify the Cisco credential to access the CUCM.
10
Specify each folder location of the directories from which the Cisco CDR logs are to be gathered.
11
Specify the credentials that are used to gather the CDR logs.
12
Click Save.

Setting call classifications for Cisco

Setting call classifications for Cisco

You can configure call classifications for your Cisco calls (such as local, long-distance, international, toll-free, and so on). When you set up chargeback costs, you can select the call classifications to which costs are assigned. For information about setting up chargeback costs, see Setting chargeback costs for Cisco .

For Cisco calls, you can define call classifications for outgoing peer-to-peer sessions, incoming peer-to-peer sessions, and internal peer-to-peer sessions.

About specifying Cisco call classifications

When you define call classifications for Cisco outgoing and incoming calls, you must specify the endpoint that is being used for the call type. The endpoint is the port that is used by the call on the Cisco gateway. Gateways can have multiple endpoints dependent on the number of ports that each gateway contains.

You also enter phone number (usually a destination mask) and number of digits for different call classifications. For example, you can specify a phone number (or destination mask) for internal, local, toll-free and other types of calls. You can use one wild card (“*”) in the destination mask to match the pattern for the phone numbers in Cisco.

To set classifications for incoming and outgoing Cisco calls
1
Click Classifications and click Call Classifications.
2
Click Add Classification for type of call that you want to define.
3
Enter a description for the call type.
4
Enter the endpoint name for the Cisco endpoint used.
5
Enter the phone number associated with the call type. Since you can enter * wild cards, you usually would enter a destination mask for a phone number. For example, you might specify 1800* for toll free calls.
6
Enter the number of digits that are required for the targeted call. This field is optional. If the call type can be uniquely identified through the phone number mask, you could leave this field empty.
For example, a Toll Free 800 number is 11 digits so you could enter 11 digits for the Toll Free entry.

For both Lync and Cisco internal peer-to-peer sessions, you specify phone number information and the number of digits for both the caller and the callee.

Setting chargeback costs for Cisco

You can specify the costs at which your Cisco peer-to-peer calls and conference calls are charged. You can view the calculated values in the chargeback insights to determine the chargeback amounts for users or departments. You can use the chargeback insights to compare with external and internal billing.

For Cisco voice calls and peer-to-peer sessions, you can also create the call classifications that are used to identify the different types of calls for chargeback. For more information about specifying call classifications, see Setting call classifications for Cisco .

To set chargeback costs for Cisco
1
On the Admin Settings page, click the Chargeback tile.
2
Specify the currency that should be used in the Currency Symbol field.
3
Click a Cisco item or media type for which you want to assign a charge type and a cost.
4
Under Cisco - Base Charges, you specify the chargeback for each media type for both peer-to-peer sessions and conferences.
a
Click on the row for the media type you want.
b
Select the charge type (per instance, per MB, per minute, per person, and so on).
c
Enter the cost to be charged.
d
Specify if rounding should be used to round the calculated cost up to the next minute (60 seconds) or set the rounding value to whatever you want.
5
Under Cisco - Additional Charges, you can set specific chargeback costs for the call classifications that you have defined (such as local, toll free, long distance, and so on).
a
Specify the charge per minute for each call type.
b
Specify if rounding should be used to round the calculated cost up to the next minute (60 seconds) or set the rounding value to whatever you want.
6
When you have completed entering charge types and costs to be calculated, click Save.

Setting thresholds for Cisco metrics

You can set thresholds for Cisco metrics, using different colors to identify minimum and maximum values that you want to track. When you set a threshold, you set the color that displays when the number is over or under a specified value. When you a viewing the metrics in an insight table, if the threshold value is reached, the metric displays in the color you specified.

By default, the Thresholds Classification page lists key Lync QoE thresholds that can be set. You can set thresholds for the following Cisco session and conference metrics:

•
Cisco Peer-to-Peer Session - Duration
•
Cisco Conference - Duration
•
Cisco Conference Session - Duration
To add a new threshold classification
1
Click Classifications and click Thresholds.
2
Click Add classification.
3
Beside the displayed field, click the down arrow and select the field that you want from the list.
4
Specify the operator for the threshold:
•
greater than or equal to
•
greater than
•
less than or equal to
•
less than
5
Set the value for the threshold and the units of measure.
6
Select the color (red, yellow, or green) that should display when the threshold is met.
7
To add another threshold for the metric, click Add threshold and specify the value, units of measure, and color.
