RFC 6873: Format for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Common Log Format (CLF)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7355. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The SIPCLF working group has defined a Common Log Format (CLF) framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) servers. This CLF mimics the successful event logging format found in well-known web servers like Apache and web proxies like Squid. This document proposes an indexed text encoding format for the SIP CLF that retains the key advantages of a text-based format while significantly increasing processing performance over a purely text-based implementation. This file format adheres to the SIP CLF information model and provides an effective encoding scheme for all mandatory and optional fields that appear in a SIP CLF record.
