Call detail recording (CDR) records usage and diagnostic information about peer-to-peer activities including instance messaging, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls, application sharing, file transfer, and meetings. The usage data can be used to calculate return on investment (ROI) and the diagnostic data can be used to troubleshoot peer-to-peer activities and meetings. Quality of Experience (QoE) records numerical data that indicates the media quality and information about participants, device names, drivers, IP addresses, and endpoint types involved in calls and sessions. For details, see Planning for Monitoring in the Planning documentation.
