Logging to File

The type file is stored daily in the file system, locally or over Network File System (NFS), for one week before being overwritten. To each file name the system adds a "daynumber" that reflects the day it was produced (for example, callData.1.xml callData.2.xml 1= Monday, 2=Tuesday).

Logging to file is recommended as backup in case the logging to a database or Management Center fails due to network problems. The commands callinfo_file_to_file, callinfo_sql_to_file, and callinfo_file_to_sql can be used to repair the database log.

If the CIL files will be stored for more than six days, use a script file in a cron job to copy the files to a location where there is sufficient disk space. A template script file for this kind of copying is supplied as /etc/opt/eri_sn/template_scripts/callinfo_copy_script.sh. This template script file includes instructions (as comments) on how to modify the template script file, and how to run it automatically every night.

Note that CIL files can occupy a large amount of disk space. Make sure to only save CIL data to disk in a way that does not exhaust your storage.
