The IESG has received a request from the SIP Common Log Format WG (sipclf) to consider the following document: - 'The Common Log Format (CLF) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP): Framework and Data Model' <draft-ietf-sipclf-problem-statement-11.txt> as Proposed Standard A previous version of this document was Last Called with an Informational intended publication status. Issues with the document's scope and technical concerns with internationalization were identified during IESG evaluation and the document was returned to the working group. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-12-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Well-known web servers such as Apache and web proxies like Squid support event logging using a common log format. The logs produced using these de-facto standard formats are invaluable to system administrators for trouble-shooting a server and tool writers to craft tools that mine the log files and produce reports and trends. Furthermore, these log files can also be used to train anomaly detection systems and feed events into a security event management system. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) does not have a common log format, and as a result, each server supports a distinct log format that makes it unnecessarily complex to produce tools to do trend analysis and security detection. We propose a common log file format for SIP servers that can be used uniformly by user agents, proxies, registrars, redirect servers as well as back-to-back user agents. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipclf-problem-statement/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipclf-problem-statement/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
