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 troubleshooting 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.  This document describes a
framework, including requirements and analysis of existing
approaches, and specifies an information model for development of a
SIP common log file format that can be used uniformly by user agents,
proxies, registrars, and redirect servers as well as back-to-back
user agents.

This document is a product of the SIP Common Log Format Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
