1. Overview

   ACC_JSON module is used to account transaction information in a JSON
   dictionary. It binds to ACC module API and uses the same accounting
   mechanisms as for other backends.

   It can output the JSON dictionary to MQUEUE or SYSLOG (even if Kamailio
   is not using syslog)

2. Dependencies

   2.1. Kamailio Modules
   2.2. External Libraries or Applications

2.1. Kamailio Modules

   The module depends on the following modules (in the other words the
   listed modules must be loaded before this module):
     * acc - accounting module
     * mqueue - mqueue module (optional)

2.2. External Libraries or Applications

   The following libraries or applications must be installed before
   running Kamailio with this module loaded:
     * jansson http://www.digip.org/jansson/
       Jansson is a C library for encoding, decoding and manipulating JSON
       data.

3. Parameters

   3.1. acc_flag (integer)
   3.2. acc_missed_flag (integer)
   3.3. acc_extra (integer)
   3.4. acc_time_mode (integer)
   3.5. acc_time_format (str)
   3.6. output_mqueue (integer)
   3.7. output_syslog (integer)
   3.8. log_facility (integer)
   3.9. log_level (integer)

3.1. acc_flag (integer)

   Request flag which needs to be set to account a transaction in
   acc_json. See output_mqueue and output_syslog

   Default value is not-set (no flag).

   Example 1.1. acc_flag example
...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_flag", 2)
...

3.2. acc_missed_flag (integer)

   Request flag which needs to be set to account missed calls in acc_json.
   See output_mqueue and output_syslog

   Default value is not-set (no flag).

   Example 1.2. acc_missed_flag example
...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_missed_flag", 3)
...

3.3. acc_extra (integer)

   Extra values to be added to the json dictionary.

   Default value is NULL.

   Example 1.3. acc_extra example
...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_extra", "via=$hdr(Via[*]); email=$avp(s:email)")
...

3.4. acc_time_mode (integer)

   Store additional value related to the time of event.

   Values can be:
     * 0 - (default), save only unix timestamp for syslog and datetime for
       database.
     * 1 - save seconds in time_attr and microseconds in time_exten.
     * 2 - save seconds.milliseconds in time_attr.
     * 3 - save formatted time according to time_format parameter, using
       the output of localtime(). Used for cdr entries too.
     * 4 - save formatted time according to time_format parameter, using
       the output of gmtime(). Used for cdr entries too.

   Example 1.4. acc_time_mode example
...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_time_mode", 1)
...

3.5. acc_time_format (str)

   Specify the format to print the time for time_mode 3 or 4.

   Default value is %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S".

   Example 1.5. acc_time_format example
...
modparam("acc_json", "acc_time_format", "%Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S")
...

3.6. output_mqueue (integer)

   Requires the mqueue module. The acc module will queue json acc events
   in the specified mqueue. Using a rtimer module exec you can access the
   queue and process them.

   Default value is not-set mqueue will not be required

   Example 1.6. output_mqueue usage example
...
# example using json_mqueue/http_client to publish to NSQD
max_while_loops=100000
modparam("mqueue", "mqueue", "name=acc_events;size=100000")
modparam("acc_json", "output_mqueue", "acc_events")
modparam("acc_json", "acc_flag", 2)
modparam("acc_json", "acc_extra", "caller_ip_port=$avp(caller_ip_port);")
modparam("rtimer", "timer", "name=nsqt;interval=1;mode=1;")
modparam("rtimer", "exec", "timer=nsqt;route=RUN_CDR_PUBLISH")
modparam("http_client", "keep_connections", 1)
modparam("http_client", "httpcon", "nsqd=>http://localhost:4151/pub?topic=acc")

route[RUN_CDR_PUBLISH] {
   $var(count) = 0;
   while (mq_fetch("acc_events")) {
      $var(q_size) = mq_size("acc_events");
      $var(count) = $var(count) + 1;
      xinfo("[RUN_CDR_PUBLISH][$var(q_size)][$var(count)][$mqk(acc_events)][$mqv
(acc_events)]\n");
      $var(res) = http_connect("nsqd", "", "application/json", $mqv(acc_events),
 "$var(nsq_res)");
      if ($var(res) != "200") {
         mq_add("acc_events", "acc_key", "$mqv(acc_events)");
         return;
      }
   }
   if ($var(count) > 0 ) {
      xinfo("[RUN_CDR_PUBLISH]done count[$var(count)]\n");
   }
}
...

3.7. output_syslog (integer)

   Control if the output of acc json should be sent to syslog. This is not
   dependent on Kamailio global logging settings, we can use syslog even
   if Kamailio is not daemonized and/or logging is done to sdtout stderr.

   Default value is not-set (no flag).

   Example 1.7. output_syslog example
...
modparam("acc_json", "output_syslog", 1)
modparam("acc_json", "log_level", 2)
modparam("acc_json", "log_facility", "LOG_DAEMON")
...

3.8. log_facility (integer)

   Log facility to which accounting messages are issued to syslog. This
   allows to easily separate the accounting specific logging from the
   other log messages.

   Default value is LOG_DAEMON.

   Example 1.8. log_facility example
...
modparam("acc_json", "log_facility", "LOG_LOCAL0")

# modify you syslog/rsyslog config
# /etc/rsyslog.d/default.conf
# remove local0 from default log file
# *.*;local0,auth,authpriv.none /var/log/syslog
# add local0 to another log file
# local0.*                      /var/log/json_acc.log
...

3.9. log_level (integer)

   Log level at which accounting messages are issued to syslog.

   Default value is 1 (L_NOTICE).

   Example 1.9. log_level example
...
modparam("acc_json", "log_level", 2) # Set log_level to 2 (L_INFO)
...
