The Call Log 
The call log records a single line for every application visit handled by an install of CVP 
VoiceXML Server. Most calls will be to a single application so in this case a line in the call log 
is equivalent to a physical phone call. For situations where one CVP VoiceXML application 
performs and application transfer to another CVP VoiceXML application, a separate line will be 
added to the call log for each application visit, despite the fact that they all occur in the same 
physical call. Since each application visit is logged separately in each application’s own log file, 
the call log provides a way to stitch together a call session that spans multiple applications. The 
rotated call log file names begin with “call_log” and can be found in the 
logs
 directory of 
Server. The columns of the data are: 
• 
CallID
. This is a non-repeating value generated by the Server to uniquely identify calls. It is 
designed to be unique even across machines, as the log files of multiple machines running the 
same applications may be combined for analyses. The format of the session ID is 
IP.SECS.INCR where IP is the IP address of the machine on which the Server is installed, 
SECS is a large integer number representing the time the application visit was made and 
INCR is an automatically incremented number managed by the Server. Each part is delimited 
by dots and contains no spaces. For example: 192.168.1.100.1024931901079.1. 
• 
SessionID
. The session ID is used to track a visit to a specific application. Therefore, with 
application transfers, one call ID may be associated with multiple session IDs. For this 
reason, session IDs are simply the call ID with the application name appended to the end. For 
example: 192.168.1.100.1024931901079.1.MyApp. 
• 
callers
. This integer represents the total number of callers interacting with the system at the 
time the call was received (including the current call). 
• 
order
. A number indicating the order of each application visited in a call. The order begins at 
1. This column exists to report the order in which a caller visited each application should the 
data be imported to a database. 
• 
Application
. The name of the application visited. 
• 
Time
. A timestamp of the application visit in a readable format. This represents when the call 
was received or the application transfer occurred. 
The Application Activity Log 
The activity log is the main log managed by CVP VoiceXML Server. It contains all the activity 
taken by callers when they visit an application. It stores information about the call itself such as 
its ANI, what elements the caller encountered and in what order, and even detailed actions such 
as the values entered by the caller or the confidences of their utterances. The rotated activity log 
names begin with “activity_log” and are stored in the 
logs
 directory of the specific application it 
applies to.
