View Interactions History in the Log files

Owned by Valerio Ciotta

The Server Administrator can find and read the log files containing all the interactions history in:


/var/log/xcally/<channel>-interactions-info.log


These log files report all the actions made on a specific interaction id (like an email message, a chat session or an sms exchange and so on) and the agent/user name that performed that action.

Here you find some examples of the activities traced in the log files:

  • Interaction status changes, disposition, close, etc.
  • Interaction new/update/remove tags
  • new outgoing messages in the interaction
  • new message interaction accept 
  • message interaction reject 


The files are per channel (10 files each on rotation) and have a maximum capacity of 100 MB for each file set (every file size is maximum 10 MB).


A typical format of the log file is the following:
