Hi Donald,
I respect your opinion here and the explanation that you offer. As
someone who follows the mailing list I do know Nikos as being someone
who replies frequently to the list, but can you explain me the comment
he offered there. Did you think that was helpful ? Even remotely ? That
was sarcastic wasn't it ? Now I am game for some light jokes as I am
also for any opinion or discussion one has to offer once I put my query
in the public domain by mailing it to a list, and yes I am certainly
not here to prove my knowledge or to prove any else for that matter.
When anyone asks on a mailing list that is because he is looking for
some information beyond his knowledge and for that I am open to any
back and forth discussions with anyone on the list which as you might
have observed I was doing till (and even after) Nikos intervened. But
if someone hurls unnecessary, unrequired and uncalled for taunts, then
I am certainly not going to take that. And I beg to differ and I am
sorry for my strong language here but I didn't at all think that
through his comments Nikos was offering any help worth even a dime.
Even after that I tried my best explaining my situation without
insulting him anywhere. Also contrary to what you think I never
disrespected Nikos or even intended to rather it was quite the
opposite. But in the mail after that he came up with something that to
me was a blatant lie, mentioning he never ever mentioned me, which if
you go through his remarks, you can very well see for yourself.
I would just want to close this topic down here as I do not want to
blast the mailing list with off topic posts, but my original question
still remains unanswered.

Hi Alok,
I think there has been a miscommunication or misunderstanding in
the dialog here. Alok, I don't think Nikos was trying to insult you.
Nikos is one of the most active and helpful members of the
Kannel mailing lists and should be treated with some respect, as he was
after all trying to help you.
If you want to continue this debate, please do so off the
mailing list (mail Nikos directly) as it has no relevance here.
Thanks,
Donald

Hi Nikos,
I guess whom you are addressing then when you say "Alok's way is
superoir....". I always get the facts straight and never comment on
anything before making sure, unlike you.

Hi,
You are mistaken. I am not taunting you, not
even
addressing you. Please get your facts straight before you mail insults.

Re: access log format
Hi Nikos,
I ain't sure where you are taking this, but I guess I know, so if you
are hurling taunts about anything I suggest you find someone else, as
you have completely misunderstood my requirement and my question here
in the first place.
I ain't interfering with Kannel's DLR handling at all we have been
using kannel for 3 years now and I guess that much time is enough to
know about any software what it does good or bad. I never said we were
talking about DLR's god knows from where you got that notion.
We do not use the smsbox but a proprietary smppbox (licensed from Stipe
Tolj) and we parse the log records whether MT or MO to get the
information about messages and their delivery reports from log files to
db.
Yes I am aware about the dlr-url feature of smsbox to get dlr HTTP
Posted back to me, but as mentioned above we do it other way.

Hi,
Alok's way is superior to kannel's DLR handling. It inserts to the DB
much more information about the original message than can be obtained
through the DLRs alone and passed on to the dlr-url.
If anyone has reduced the resolution of the logs, I am sure it was
unintentional.
BR,
Nikos

Hi,
Sorry I didn't get you.
Are you programmatically looking for sent/failed SMS by looking
at Kannel logs?

Hi,
Thanks for replying. Yes I checked the documentation we can
certainly have a
custom format, but it is about the events that I talking here
like "Sent SMS"/
"FAILED SMS"/"Discarded SMS" etc., I see some changes there.
Mostly I have
figured them out but, I fail to understand some other entries
which I have
mentioned below as also I want to know more such changes.
Let me elaborate why this causes problems. Our parser uses
patterns such as
"Failed SMS" to search for current (14.2 box) entries, now this
event logging
has changed to "FAILED SEND SMS" naturally this will not be
picked up and hence
we loose on such entries. That's my point here.
I might be a little off topic, but why not using the mechanism
made for that kind of things, e.g. receiving delivery reports
from Kannel? It is supported, lets you ask what information you
need, and is of course "supported" accross versions.
