Subject: RE: [Serusers] Accounting with
SER
Syslog is a standard unix facility.
Normally, in a standard linux install, you will see
a
file named /var/log/messages. That is where the
accounting information will be written.
You
can groom this, for instance, if you want to
direct the messages from SER to a special file,
using
the
syslog facility. You will need to look at the manual
page, ie:
man
syslog.conf
to
get some ideas about this.
The
syslog entries are enabled with the lines:
...
loadmodule "/usr/ser/lib/ser/modules/acc.so"
...
modparam("acc", "log_level", 1)
modparam("acc", "log_flag", 1
)
modparam("acc", "log_fmt", "miocfsu" )
...
route
{
...
setflag(1);
setflag(2);
...
}
I
can't comment on the accounting module for mysql, but I
imagine
that
is described by the accounting README.txt file in the
appropriate
module directory.
Our
implementation scans the syslog files and writes into a
postgres
database the call accounting stuff.
There is a bit of a learning curve involved with this. However,
the
programming documentation is very good and this list is great
for
when
you get stumped, but only then :-)

I would like to get more information on
accounting with SER.
Ok, I followed the documentation about
accounting but it doesn't give enough information about how to retrieve the
accounting information. It just says that Reports are by DEFAULT sent to the
syslog facility. Where is that syslog? How do I retreive that information?
Is it possible to put that information in the MySQL database?
How?
That is by DEFAULT; so, is it possible to
change that default location?
Some gurus will realize how NEWBIE I am in the
Linux World.
Please help me.
Thanks,
