Call Detail Report in Lync Server 2013
Topic Last Modified: 2014-02-05
The Call Detail Report provides a detailed look at an individual call; the report includes nearly all the Quality of Experience metrics and statistics collected by Lync Server, divided into report sections such as:
Call Information
Caller Device and Signal Metrics
Callee Device and Signal metrics
Caller Client Event
Callee Client Event
Audio Stream (Caller to Callee)
Video Stream (Caller to Callee)
Audio Stream (Callee to Caller)
Video Stream (Callee to Caller)
Keep in mind that the categories and the metrics you see on a given report depend on two things: the type of session and the type of endpoints used in the session. For example, an audio-only call will not report metrics for video streams; that's because the call didn't have a video stream. Likewise, you might have a report that lists caller statistics but not callee statistics. That's typically because the callee was not using a SIP-compliant device. Endpoints are responsible for reporting statistics at the end of a call; however, a cell phone (which knows nothing about SIP or SIP statistics) is unable to report that kind of information. If you call someone and they answer you on their cell phone, you will not get a report from that cell phone when the call ends.
The Call Detail Report is most useful when you are trying to determine exactly why a given call experienced media quality problems.
Accessing the Call Detail Report
The Call Detail Report can be accessed from any of the following reports:
The Location Report in Lync Server 2013 (by clicking either the Call volume or the Poor call percentage metric)
The Media Quality Summary Report in Lync Server 2013 (by clicking either the Call volume or Poor call percentage metric)
The Media Quality Comparison Report in Lync Server 2013 (by clicking the Call List Report in Lync Server 2013 and then clicking the Detail metric).
The Server Performance Report in Lync Server 2013 (by clicking either the Call volume or Poor call percentage metric)
The Call List Report in Lync Server 2013 (by clicking the Detail metric)
From within the Call Detail Report you can access the Device Report in Lync Server 2013 by clicking either of the following metrics:
Capture device
Render device
You can also access the Server Media Quality Trend Report by clicking the A/V edge server metric.
Making the Best Use of the Call Detail Report
The Call Detail Report typically includes over 250 different metrics, including such items as Microphone timestamp drift, Low SNR time, and Near end to echo time. If you can't remember what all of these metrics actually measure, try holding your mouse over the metric label; often-times, a tooltip will appear describing that metric.
If you have problems locating a metric, type part of the metric label in the search box and then click Find. For example, if you can't find the Low SNR time metric, type SNR in the search box and then click Find.
Note that the report only tracks information about a call. The call itself is not recorded.
