Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1. Overview

ACC_JSON module is used to account transaction information in a JSON dictionary. It binds to ACC module API and uses the same accounting mechanisms as for other backends.

It can output the JSON dictionary to MQUEUE or SYSLOG (even if Kamailio is not using syslog)

2. Dependencies

2.1. Kamailio Modules

The module depends on the following modules (in other words the listed modules must be loaded before this module):

  • acc - accounting module

  • mqueue - mqueue module (optional)

2.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running Kamailio with this module loaded:

  • jansson http://www.digip.org/jansson/

    Jansson is a C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON data.

3. Parameters

3.1. acc_flag (integer)

Request flag which needs to be set to account a transaction in acc_json. See acc_output_mqueue and acc_output_syslog

Default value is not-set (no flag).

Example 1.1. acc_flag example

...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_flag", 2)
...

3.2. acc_missed_flag (integer)

Request flag which needs to be set to account missed calls in acc_json. See acc_output_mqueue and acc_output_syslog

Default value is not-set (no flag).

Example 1.2. acc_missed_flag example

...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_missed_flag", 3)
...

3.3. acc_extra (string)

Extra values to be added to the json dictionary.

Default value is NULL.

Example 1.3. acc_extra example

...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_extra", "via=$hdr(Via[*]); email=$avp(s:email)")
...

3.4. acc_json_pre_encoded_prefix (string)

Prefix to identify values that will be considered to be already json encoded.

Default value is NULL.

Example 1.4. acc_json_pre_encoded_prefix example

...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_extra", "json_data=$avp(json_data);")
modparam("acc_json", "acc_json_pre_encoded_prefix", "json_")
...
$avp(json_data) = '{"b":2, "c":3}';
...

3.5. acc_time_mode (integer)

Store additional value related to the time of event.

Values can be:

  • 0 - (default), save only unix timestamp for syslog and datetime for database.

  • 1 - save seconds in time_attr and microseconds in time_exten.

  • 2 - save seconds.milliseconds in time_attr.

  • 3 - save formatted time according to time_format parameter, using the output of localtime(). Used for cdr entries too.

  • 4 - save formatted time according to time_format parameter, using the output of gmtime(). Used for cdr entries too.

Example 1.5. acc_time_mode example

...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_time_mode", 1)
...

3.6. acc_time_format (str)

Specify the format to print the time for time_mode 3 or 4.

Default value is %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S".

Example 1.6. acc_time_format example

...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_time_format", "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")
...

3.7. acc_output_mqueue (integer)

Requires the mqueue module. The acc module will queue json acc events in the specified mqueue. Using a rtimer module exec you can access the queue and process them.

You can also fetch the acc events using mqueue.fetch over JSON-RPC.

Default value is not-set mqueue will not be required.

Example 1.7. acc_output_mqueue usage example

...
# example using json_mqueue/http_client to publish to NSQD
max_while_loops=100000
modparam("mqueue", "mqueue", "name=acc_events;size=100000")
modparam("acc_json", "acc_output_mqueue", "acc_events")
modparam("acc_json", "acc_flag", 2)
modparam("acc_json", "acc_extra", "caller_ip_port=$avp(caller_ip_port);")
modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=nsqt;interval=1;mode=1;")
modparam("rtimer", "exec", "timer=nsqt;route=RUN_CDR_PUBLISH")
modparam("http_client", "keep_connections", 1)
modparam("http_client", "httpcon", "nsqd=>http://localhost:4151/pub?topic=acc")

route[RUN_ACC_PUBLISH] {
   $var(count) = 0;
   while (mq_fetch("acc_events")) {
      $var(q_size) = mq_size("acc_events");
      $var(count) = $var(count) + 1;
      xinfo("[RUN_ACC_PUBLISH][$var(q_size)][$var(count)][$mqk(acc_events)][$mqv(acc_events)]\n");
      $var(res) = http_connect_raw("nsqd", "", "application/json", $mqv(acc_events), "$var(nsq_res)");
      if ($var(res) < 0) {
         xerr("[RUN_ACC_PUBLISH][$var(res)] http_connect_raw: timeout or error !\n");
         mq_add("acc_events", "acc_key", "$mqv(acc_events)");
      } else if ($var(res) < 200 || $var(res) > 299) {
         xerr("[RUN_ACC_PUBLISH][$var(res)] http unexpected response code !\n");
         mq_add("acc_dead_letter_queue", "acc_key", "$mqv(acc_events)");
         return;
      }
   }
   if ($var(count) > 0 ) {
      xinfo("[RUN_CDR_PUBLISH]done count[$var(count)]\n");
   }
}
...

3.8. acc_output_syslog (integer)

Control if the output of acc json should be sent to syslog. This is not dependent on Kamailio global logging settings, we can use syslog even if Kamailio is not daemonized and/or logging is done to sdtout stderr.

Default value is not-set (no flag).

Example 1.8. acc_output_syslog example

...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_output_syslog", 1)
modparam("acc_json", "acc_log_level", 2)
modparam("acc_json", "acc_log_facility", "LOG_DAEMON")
...

3.9. acc_log_facility (integer)

Log facility to which accounting messages are issued to syslog. This allows to easily separate the accounting specific logging from the other log messages.

Default value is LOG_DAEMON.

# local0.*                      /var/log/json_acc.log
...

3.10. acc_log_level (integer)

Log level at which accounting messages are issued to syslog.

Default value is 1 (L_NOTICE).

...

3.11. cdr_enable (int)

    1 - on.

Example 1.11. cdr_enable example

...
modparam("acc_json", "cdr_enable", 1)
...

3.12. cdr_extra (str)
