Enable Call Detail Recording
Topic Last Modified: 2011-01-05
Call detail recording (CDR) records usage and diagnostic information about peer-to-peer activities including instance messaging, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, application sharing, file transfer, and meetings. The usage data can be used to calculate return on investment (ROI) and the diagnostic data can be used to troubleshoot peer-to-peer activities and meetings. For details, see Planning for Monitoring in the Planning documentation.
Use the following procedure to enable CDR for your whole organization or each site in your organization.
Note
In order to enable CDR you must first install the Monitoring Server and connect it to a Monitoring back-end database. For details, see Deploying Monitoring.
