The Cisco ISDN Call Statistics plug-in is used to analyze the files generated by the Cisco ISDN call history plug-in. It provides in 3 tables, detailed statistic information on the ISDN activity that help you to make cost control.
Warning: The Cisco ISDN call history plug-in is absolutely required before using this program, consult the Cisco ISDN call history plug-in documentation.
For each destination, the number of calls and their duration are summarized, the average duration per call is calculated and the maximum call length is retained. Finally the sum of all the incoming, outgoing and all calls are performed. This statistic could be done per day, or on a range of days. Filters could be applied to select for example a specific destination. Statistic file could be saved and compressed. The results are immediately displayed but could be saved in a report in html format for further reading.
From the Directory TAB, open the contextual menu of any host with a right click, select Tools and Cisco ISDN Stats.
The file generated by the Cisco ISDN call history plug-in contains the list of all calls recorded on a specific Cisco router. The Cisco ISDN call history collector creates a file for each day, the file contain an entry per call, for each it stores the calling number, the called number, the duration, etc.
By default the log generated by Cisco ISDN call history collector are store in bin/www/log in the LoriotPro dircetory.
Cisco ISDN statistics plug-in has to read this file for generating the statistics. Results are displayed in three tables.
The interface is composed of 3 tables:
Details of all calls: This table contains all the calls, incoming or outgoing gathered from a file or a group of files. The maximum supported by this table is 10000 calls.
Statistics per call Number peer: This table contains a first analysis of the previous table. The calls are counted by source and destination peer and summarized to provide for each peer the number of calls realized and their total duration.
Totals: This table contains the summarized time for all calls separated in Incoming and outgoing calls.
The steps for using the program are simple.
First you should know what files you want to analyze. Select the file with the file selector.
For starting the analysis you have the choice between :
button.
button. You should specify
a range of date first.
buttonIf you select the file on scan range option you should specify the First date and Ending date.
The file mane header is always isdnhistory... but you can specify another one if you have renamed or saved your reports under new names.
When you made a file selection the double click starts immediately the scan of the file(s). The Scanning Status bar shows you the current line read and the number of successful matches if a filter has been set.
You can also filter within the file on a key word. It could be a name or number. Enter the Key words (two maximumn) and operator AND/OR and select a files or files to browse. The Calls containing the keyword are displayed.
The Statistic per call Number Peer table shows the calls for each couple of number. If two Cisco routers are able to initiate the call between them two entries are created in the table, one for the incoming call (from the point of view of the router where the log are collected) and one for the outgoing call.
Two symbols are used in front of each table entry.
The call is an incoming call
The call is an outgoing call
Each line contains the statistics for all calls made between two distinguished Cisco routers.
Column header description
| Calling Number |
The ISDN call number from where the call was initiated |
| Called Number |
The ISDN number called |
| Remote Host Name |
The name of the host that was called |
| Number of Calls |
The total number of calls made between this two Cisco routers |
| Total Time |
The total communication time in 0.001 seconds for all these calls |
| Total Time |
The total communication time in Days,Hours,Minutes,Seconds all these calls |
| Longest Call Duration |
The longest communication time spent by a specific call |
| Average Duration per call |
The average communication time for all these calls |
Total table description
Column header description
| Description |
ISDN Outgoing Calls. Call performed
from this router to a remote router. |
| Number of Calls |
Total number of Calls |
| Total time (ms) |
Total communication time in milliseconds of all calls |
| Total Time |
Total communication time in Days,Hours,Minutes,Seconds.The sum of the upper values. |
When the statistics are displayed it is possible to reorder the result by clicking on a column header
The list of calls could be exported into .csv files. The name of the file shoud be isdnhistory__ if you want to be able to see it from the file selection window.
A report could be created from the current displayed results. To create a report select the Create Report button.
Give a Name and select OK.
Open the report by clicking on view report.
The report displays the date of generation, the name of the router.
One table displays the list of files used for the report.
The last two tables contains the total times of the calls and the table of statistics per host peer.
