Re: access log format

Hi Nikos,

I ain't sure where you are taking this, but I guess I know, so if you
are hurling taunts about anything I suggest you find someone else, as
you have completely misunderstood my requirement and my question here
in the first place.

I ain't interfering with Kannel's DLR handling at all we have been
using kannel for 3 years now and I guess that much time is enough to
know about any software what it does good or bad. I never said we were
talking about DLR's god knows from where you got that notion.

We do not use the smsbox but a proprietary smppbox (licensed from Stipe
Tolj) and we parse the log records whether MT or MO to get the
information about messages and their delivery reports from log files to
db.

Yes I am aware about the dlr-url feature of smsbox to get dlr HTTP
Posted back to me, but as mentioned above we do it other way.

Hi,

Alok's way is superior to kannel's DLR handling. It inserts to the DB
much more information about the original message than can be obtained
through the DLRs alone and passed on to the dlr-url.

If anyone has reduced the resolution of the logs, I am sure it was
unintentional.

BR,

Nikos

Hi,

Sorry I didn't get you.

Are you programmatically looking for sent/failed SMS by looking

at Kannel logs?

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Hi,

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Thanks for replying. Yes I checked the documentation we can
certainly have a

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β custom format, but it is about the events that I talking here
like "Sent SMS"/

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β "FAILED SMS"/"Discarded SMS" etc., I see some changes there.
Mostly I have

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β figured them out but, I fail to understand some other entries
which I have

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β mentioned below as also I want to know more such changes.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Let me elaborate why this causes problems. Our parser uses
patterns such as

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β "Failed SMS" to search for current (14.2 box) entries, now this
event logging

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β has changed to "FAILED SEND SMS" naturally this will not be
picked up and hence

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β we loose on such entries. That's my point here.

Β Β Β I might be a little off topic, but why not using the mechanism

Β Β Β made for that kind of things, e.g. receiving delivery reports

Β Β Β from Kannel? It is supported, lets you ask what information you

Β Β Β need, and is of course "supported" accross versions.
