There is also an option to log the CDRs more permanently, in which case the CDRs are published as
Informational messages to your syslog host. This option also keeps CDRs for a few days on the event log,

but the local data could rotate quickly.
Note: CDR reporting is best effort and should not be relied upon for accurate billing purposes.
Media statistics
A media statistics logging service has been added to this release. When the service is active, up to 2GB of
data is kept locally in a rotating log. The stats are also published as syslog messages for offline storage and
analysis. For each call, the Expressway tracks statistics like packet counts, bitrates, and jitter.

When generating a CSR on the Expressway-E, you may need to enter SANs for Unified CM registration
domains, XMPP federation domains, and chat node aliases. The interface defaults to SRVName and
XMPPAddress formats for these fields, but those formats are not generally supported by certification
authorities (CAs). You should use DNS format for any SANs you add to the CSR.
