Billing record logging
Billing record logging
The billings records logging system provides a simple audit trail of all billing transactions.
The log supports the buffering and retransmission of up to 2000 billing records to one or
more external billing records servers. Log transmission occurs using HTTP/1.1 POST method
with a completely customizable data format.
The system will retransmit a billing record until it is successfully acknowledged or until
transmission is stopped because of too many failures.
Multiple backup servers can be assigned to a primary server to increase the probability of
successfully transmitting a billing record.
To reduce the risk of billing records being lost, data can be mirrored by defining multiple
primary servers. A copy of each record is sent to each primary server.
Note Records are always added to the log, even when record transmission is disabled. If required,
these records can be saved (exported) to a file, but cannot be transmitted to a billing server.
To configure Billing record logging, select Service Controller >> Public access > Billing
records.
