Overhead Reduction in Accounting: Custom Record
User Configurable Records
Users can define a collection of fields that make up a record. These records can be assigned to an
accounting policy. These are user-defined records rather than being limited to pre-defined record
types. The operator can select what queues and the counters within these queues that need to be
collected. Refer to the predefined records containing a given field for XML field name of a custom
record field.
Changed Statistics Only
A record is only generated if a significant change has occurred to the fields being written in a
given the record. This capability applies to both ingress and egress records regardless on the
method of delivery (such as RADIUS and XML). The capability also applies to Application
Assurance records; however without an ability to specify different significant change values and
per-field scope (for example, all fields of a custom record are collected if any activity was reported
against any of the statistics that are part of the custom record).
