Collecting Call History Information

Personal Assistant maintains call history logs that you can use to help identify toll fraud. These logs are not to be used for call billing.

If you configure Personal Assistant to use the CiscoWorks2000 Syslog facility, call history information is written to syslog. See the “Collecting System Logs with Syslog” section on page 6-17for information on using syslog.

If you do not use syslog, Personal Assistant writes call history records to a series of files named PACallHistoryxx.log in the /Logs directory on the Personal Assistant server, where xx is a number from 01 to 99. These files are limited to 2MB each, and when all logs are full, Personal Assistant begins reusing the logs.

The first line in the log documents how to read the call history records.

Starting and Stopping the Servers and License Manager

You can start and stop the Personal Assistant servers, speech recognition servers, and license managers through the Personal Assistant administrative web interface. This can help you add or remove servers from the Personal Assistant and speech server clusters in an orderly manner. It can also help you bring down a server that is not functioning properly.

To Start and Stop the Servers and License Manager

Step 1 Select System > Control Center. Personal Assistant opens the control center.

The control center is divided into three sections:

Personal Assistant Server—lists the Personal Assistant server systems in the cluster

Speech License Manager—lists the license manager systems in the cluster
