The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco Prime Collaboration enables you to collect call logs to identify faults in the calls for Cisco Voice Portal (CVP), Unified Contact Center Enterprise (Unified CCE), Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM), and Cisco IOS Gateways. This feature enables you to troubleshoot issues in the calls. You can use the SIP Call Flow Analyzer feature to further zoom in on the collected calls and isolate faults in the messages. It also helps you to recreate the issue. For more information on the SIP Call Flow Analyzer feature, see Analyze Call Signaling.
It helps you to:
The following is required/supported by this feature:
Maximum disk size required for this feature. | 25 GB for small, 50 GB for medium, and very large profiles | ||
Maximum number of devices from which log collection to be done concurrently. | 100 | ||
Maximum number of log collection jobs to be run at the same time | 3 | ||
Maximum size of a zipped log file that can be downloaded at one instance. | 0.5 GB for small, and 1 GB for other profiles.

For Cisco Prime Collaboration Release 11.5 and later
Cisco Prime Collaboration enables you to collect call logs from the Device Log Collector available at
for the following Unified Communications (UC) components:Device Type | Supported Release | Components or Type of Log |
---|---|---|
Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified CM) | 9.x and later | Call logs, and SDL logs |
IOS Gateways (TDM, CUBE (Enterprise Edition), VXML GWs) | 15.1(4)M and later | Output of show logging command |
Periodic sync happens every hour. Sync does not remove devices from Device Log Collector if the devices in Device Inventory are deleted. If a new device is added in Device Log Collector or any update to a device happens, then the Connectivity Status is updated after the sync.
In order to collect log from the same type of UC components on a same-time, you can create custom group of UC components and collect call logs by selecting the device group.
Predefined groups can not be added, edited, or deleted, and the devices in the groups cannot be modified too.
You can create, edit or delete user-defined groups. You can add or delete devices of the user-defined groups. You can do the following:

Select a device and click the Test Connectivity button to test if the device is accessible with credentials provided. A message is displayed to notify you about the result. Also the value of the column "Connectivity Status" is updated accordingly.
Troubleshoot Test Connectivity
If test connectivity fails, check the following:
Log collection is on-demand.
Select a single device or devices in a group and click the Collect Logs button to collect logs. The Collect Logs dialog box is displayed. Fill the required information. The job name and file name are autopopulated, but you can modify it too. The time zone you select here is used to collect the logs.
Click Run. A message notifies you that the job is triggered or not. The job is listed under the Log Collection Jobs pane. The Progress Status column also shows the number of devices for which the logs are downloaded out of the total number of devices selected for log collection. For example 2 of 3. You can select the job and collect the logs by clicking the Download to local button. If the zipped log file size is more than 0.5 GB (for small profile) or 1 GB (for medium or large profiles), it is divided into multiple zipped files.
Note | Ensure that you do not modify the extension .zip in the file name. Sometimes the downloaded log files will have .gz and .gzo as extension. Winrar will not unzip .gzo files, thus you need to have a compatible conversion utility to unzip these files. |
You can delete the job using the Delete button under the Log Collection Jobs pane.
These jobs are also listed under the Job Management page (
), however you cannot download the log file from this page.
