VoIP Logs and Queries in SmartConsole

Logs in SmartConsole

Logs show detailed, protocol-specific information for VoIP traffic. There are pre-configured VoIP log queries that supply enhanced troubleshooting capabilities.

To enable VoIP logging of VoIP calls:

1. From SmartConsole, in the Security Policies tab, select your rule.
2. From the Track column, select Log.

Note - If VoIP logging is disabled, only standard logging takes place. Standard logging includes the Source, Destination, and protocol information.

Logs are available for all protocols.

Queries from SmartConsole

To view preconfigured queries:

• From SmartConsole, in the Logs & Monitor tab, select Queries.
• In the Predefined list, the queries show.

  You can also add queries to your Favorite Queries list.

To add queries to your Favorites list:

1. In the Logs & Monitor tab, select Queries.
2. Select the query that you want to add to your favorites list.

   That query shows in the window.

3. Select Queries > Add to Favorites.
4. Configure the fields in the Add to Favorites window that opens.

   Important - There are no logs available for RTP call sessions in SmartConsole, but you can find additional information from the gateway.
