-OPENVIDU CDRs not getting generated

[idea...@gmail.com]

HI

I have created application.properties file in "/opt/openvidu/application.properties" with below configuration

openvidu.cdr=true

openvidu.secret=MY_SECRET

openvidu.recording=true

openvidu.recording.path=/opt/openvidu/recordings

i have set JAVA_HOME as  /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64  in /etc/profile

But i am not able to see any openvidu CDRs.  As per the documentation  "The CDR file will be located under log/ folder in the same path as your Java executable."

I am assuming that OPENVIDU will create the folder "logs"  in the Java Executable path and start generating CDRs there.  

But please correct me if i have to keep the folder "log"  created ( some thing like.../usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/log) for Openvidu to generate CDRs.

Thanks in advane

Hello Ias, 

log folder is supposed to be created in the working directory of OpenVidu Server. Documentation can be a bit confusing. 

Where do you have your .jar located? Which is the working directory when you execute the command "java -jar ..." ?

Hi Micael

I have OV installed on Ubuntu Xenial on Google Cloud Compute Engine VM. 

When open SSH shell of the VM, by default I am in the my login home directory which is something like... "home /login Id".  So this is the directory from where I launch OV with the usual command like... "java - D......-D.....open Vidu v2. 11. 0".

So are you saying I should create "log" folder under the default home directory when I connected to SSH? Something like... "hime/login id/log" so that OV can create CDR events?. 

Also another related question is, at present we are running OV on our GCP VM by manually SSH into the VM from my laptop which means we have to keep my laptop ON to keep OV running in VM. 

But how can we keep the OV running on the GCP VM without having dependency on our laptop to start the OV through SSH please? 

Thanks

Yes, I think so.

Install OpenVidu as a service in the VM:

HI Micael,

We have tried by creating a "log" directory under the user's default home directory in the SSH.

So it is like  /home/userid/log

After that we have run few WebRTC calls and below is the configuration we have in  "application.properties" file under /opt/openvidu/ folder.

openvidu.cdr=true 

openvidu.secret=MY_SECRET 

openvidu.recording=true 

openvidu.recording.path=/opt/openvidu/recordings 

openvidu.recording.public-access=true

But we are not able to see any CDRs generated in /home/userid/log.  Can you please suggest where are we going wrong.?

Just to confirm below is our current env variable JAVA_HOME set

userid@ov-rec-cdr-instance-1:~$ echo $JAVA_HOME 

/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64

thaks

Hi,

First of all, please check OpenVidu Server logs to see if openvidu.cdr property is actually true. You should see a line stating this: [INFO] 2020-01-02 13:04:20,678 [main] io.openvidu.server.OpenViduServer (cdr) - OpenVidu CDR service is enabled

OpenVidu Server JAR executable will automatically create "log" folder for you, so make sure the JAR has write properties over its path. And inside that folder, CDR files will be created (one for each execution of the JAR file). So the final look after launching OpenVidu Server with option openvidu.cdr=true must be something like this:

And inside log folder you will find CDR files:
