<title>Overview</title>
<para>
ACC module is used to account transactions information to different
backends like syslog, <abbrev>SQL</abbrev>,
<acronym>RADIUS</acronym> and <acronym>DIAMETER</acronym>
(beta version).
</para>
<para>
To account a transaction and to choose which set of backends to be
used, the script writer just has to set some flags (see the module
parameters section for flag definitions <xref linkend="ACC-param-id"/>).
If the accounting flag for a specific backend is set, the acc module
will then report on completed transaction. A typical usage of the
module takes no acc-specific script command -- the functionality
binds invisibly through transaction processing. Script writers just
need to mark the transaction for accounting with proper setflag.
Even so, the module allows the script writter to force accounting in
special cases via some script functions.
</para>
<para>
The accounting module will log by default a fixed set of attributes
for the transaction - if you customize your accounting by adding more
information to be logged, please see the next chapter about extra
accounting - <xref linkend="ACC-extra-id"/>.
</para>
<para>
The fixed minimal accounting information is:

<para>
If a UA fails in middle of conversation, a proxy will never
find out about it. In general, a better practice is to account from an
end-device (such as PSTN gateway), which best knows about call
status (including media status and PSTN status in case of the
gateway).

<para>
The SQL backend support is compiled in the module. For RADIUS and
DIAMETER you need to enable it by recompiling the module with properly
set defines: uncomment the RAD_ACC or DDIAM_ACC lines in
modules/acc/Makefile. To compile RADIUS support,
you need to have radiusclient-ng (only versions higher or equal
to 0.5.0) installed on your system which is available from
<ulink url='http://developer.berlios.de/projects/radiusclient-ng/'>
http://developer.berlios.de/projects/radiusclient-ng/</ulink>.
The radius client needs to be configured properly. To do so, use the
template at etc/radiusclient.conf and make sure
that module's radius_config parameter points to its location.
In particular, accounting secret must match that one configured in
server and proper dictionary is used (one is available at
etc/sip_dictionary). Also note that Debian radiusclient-ng uses
/var/run/radius.seq as seqfile but &kamailio; Debian init script expects
/var/run/kamailio/kamailio_radius.seq, so is needed to change it in
radiusclient-ng configuration or in &kamailio; Debian init script (if not,
&kamailio; can't create the seq file when not running as root). Uses along
with FreeRadius (<ulink url='http://www.freeradius.org/'>
http://www.freeradius.org/</ulink>) and Radiator
(<ulink url='http://www.open.com.au/radiator/'>
http://www.open.com.au/radiator/</ulink>) servers have been
reported to us.
</para>
<para>
NOTE: diameter support was developed for DISC (DIameter Server Client
project at http://developer.berlios.de/projects/disc/). This project
seems to be no longer maintained and DIAMETER specifications were updated
in the meantime. Thus, the DIAMETER part in the module is obsolete and
needs rework to be usable with opendiameter or other DIAMETER servers.

Note: For all the ACK processed by tm, the registered callbacks
(like acc module) will be called with the corresponding INVITE

<section id="multi-call-legs">
<title>Multi Call-Legs accounting</title>
<section>
<title>Overview</title>
<para>
A SIP call can have multiple legs due forwarding actions. For
example user A calls user B which forwards the call to user C.
There is only one SIP call but with 2 legs ( A to B and B to C).
Accounting the legs of a call is required for proper billing of
the calls (if C is a PSTN number and the call is billed, user B
must pay for the call - as last party modifing the call
destination-, and not A - as initiator of the call. Call
forwarding on server is only one example which shows the
necessity of the having an accounting engine with multiple legs
support.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Configuration</title>
<para>
First how it works: The idea is to have a set of AVPs and for each
call leg to store a set of values in the AVPs. The meaning of
the AVP content is stricly decided by the script writer - it can
be the origin and source of the leg, its status or any other
related information. If you have a set of 4 AVPS (AVP1, AVP2, AVP3,
AVP4), then for the "A call B and B forwards to C" example,
you need to set a different set of values for the AVPs
for each leg ([A,B] and [B,C]) .
The script writer must take care and properly insert all
these AVP from the script (in proper order and with the correct type).
</para>
<para>
When the accounting information for the call will be written/sent,
all the call-leg pairs will be added (based on the found AVP sets).
</para>
<para>
By default, the multiple call-leg support is disabled - it can be
enabled just be setting the per-leg set of AVPs via the
<varname>multi_leg_info</varname> module parameter.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Logged data</title>
<para>
For each call, all the values of the AVP set (which defines a
call-leg) will be logged. How the information will be actually
logged, depends of the data backend:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>syslog</emphasis> -- all leg-sets will be added
to one record string as AVP1=xxx, AVP2=xxxx ,... sets.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>database</emphasis> -- each pair will be
separately logged (due DB data structure constraints); several
records will be written, the difference between them being
only the fields corresponding to the call-leg info.
</para>
<note><para>You will need to add in your DB (all acc related
tables) the colums for call-leg info (a column for each AVP
of the set).
</para></note>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para><emphasis>Radius</emphasis> -- all sets will be added
to the same Radius accounting message as RADIUS AVPs - for each
call-leg a set of RADIUS AVPs will be added (corresponding
to the per-leg AVP set)
</para>
<note><para>You will need to add in your dictionary the
RADIUS AVPs used in call-leg AVP set definition.

<section>
<title>Call Data Record generation</title>
<section>
<title>Overview</title>
<para>
In addition to transaction-based logging, it is possible to generate and log Call Data
Records (CDRs) directly from &kamailio;. Apart from a basic set of CDR fields which
are always included (covering start time, end time, and duration), the approach allows
flexible specification of additional fields that should be taken into account using
the configuration script. This is very similar to how transaction-based logging may
be customized with the exception that CDRs rely on dialogs instead of transactions
to store relevant information during a call.
</para>
<para>
In order to set up CDR generation, you must enable the CDR switch and load the dialog
module. You probably also want to specify a set of pseudo-variables that define more
relevant CDR fields. Pseudo-variables may be assigned arbitrarily during script
execution, and the module will make sure that the variable content will be transformed
into a CDR by the end of the dialog.
</para>
<para>
To use CDR logging in a correct manner, you should only use the dialog-based
pseudo-variables (dlg_var) from the dialog module. This allows you to save values
right from the beginning through all requests and replies until termination of the
call. While not recommended, it is still possible to use other pseudo-variables as
well. Except for pseudo-variables valid in the call-final transaction, however,
information given will not be stored in the CDR as they cannot be accessed by the
end of the call when the CDR is logged.
</para>
<para>
Note that CDR generation does not involve any kind of database storage (yet). In order
to persist the CDRs into a database you will have to set up an exterior process (i.e.,
a script living outside of &kamailio;) and implement the storage task yourself.

<title>CDR with Multi Call-Legs</title>
<section>
<title>Overview</title>
<para>
As mentioned in <xref linkend="multi-call-legs"/>, a leg represents a parallel
or forwarded call. In contrast to the normal accounting the cdr logging uses dialogs
instead of transaction to log data. This may reduce the amount of information
but it also make it possible to combine all important data in one cdr at
once. A second mechanism to process multiple data-sets into one cdr is not further
necessary.
</para>
</section>
<section>
<title>Configuration</title>
<para>
When you route messages multiple times through your proxy (e.g. to
handle <quote>call-forwardings</quote>) you have to use detect_spirals
from the dialog modules. Otherwise the proxy can't identify and reuse existing
dialogs.
</para>
<para>
To get the correct call-forwarding-chain you have to store each cf* with the
corresponding caller and callee in a dialog based pseudo-variable (dlg_var)
(e.g. chain=B;cfa;C|C;cfnr;D). Additionally it is necessary to store the
caller and callee for each leg. All this helps to identify the involved
phone parners and forwarding chain. When you route such calls multiple times
to the same Proxy, you could store the caller and callee within an transaction
based avp and write it into the dialog based dlg_var pv during a 200 INVITE.
</para>
