CDR file of huawei CSOFTX3000

[ryainad]

I have CDR file of huawei CSOFTX3000, and sample with first 50 decoded CDRs.

What I need to do is to get all information from CDR files and save in database or even .txt files (doesn't matter where).

I found and want to use a tool in perl Splunk Huawei CSOFTX3000, but I don't know does it work with my file?

There is a longer discussion of how this perl script works here: http://blogs.splunk.com/2011/07/19/the-naughty-bits-how-to-splunk-binary-logfiles/

You can test the perl script with your logfile from the command line:
1) Change directory into $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/Splunk_HuaweiCsoftX3000/bin
2) cat <your Huawei binary logfile name> | ./huawei2text.pl

You should see a lot of single-line records, something like this:
2010/12/04 00:07:38 Serial_Number="2147529748",Serial_Number_in_module="20980895",Module_Number="52",CDR_type="PDSN_BILL",Charge_start_time="2010/12/04 00:07:38",Caller_party_number= ...

The Serial_Number fields should be incrementing with each record.

If you do NOT see this, or the values look weird, or the Serial_Number values aren't successive, you may have Huawei logs which have a record length different than 350 bytes; this perl script is designed to work with a 350-byte record length.

I have tested with logfile, 1st record is decoded right, but others are wrong.
It seems I have a record length different than 350 bytes. How to know record length?
I have documentation, but there is description for all record length.

And How can I change this app to my decode my logfile?
Thank you in advance!
