The accounting object controls call related accounting data and the final destination for the accounting records (CDRs). The SBC Core supports the following as possible destinations for the accounting records:
- An external CDR server – SBC will transfer accounting records via SFTP if writing records to an external server is enabled. The CDR file roll is controlled through
eventLogconfiguration based on file size and time interval. Depending on the application, you can set a low roll interval in order to transfer the files to the remote server. - RADIUS accounting server – Accounting records can also be written to an external RADIUS accounting server.
Records are always written to the local disk. You can configure the SBC accounting object using the following options:
admin– Set up CDR Admin configuration. For more information, see Configuring CDR Admin Parameters below.cdrServer– Transfer files to external CDR server. For more information, see Configuring an External CDR Server below.radius– Transfer files to external RADIUS server. For more information, see Configuring RADIUS Accounting Support below.
For deployments that require it, users with admin privileges can configure the SBC Core to generate CDRs in the format of the (former GENBAND) Q-series SBCs. Refer to Accounting - Q-SBC CDR - CLI for more information.
