   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 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 proxies, registrars,
   redirect servers as well as back-to-back user agents.
