Ipaccount

IP Accounting Configuration

IP accounting is used for enabling the counting of packets per customer or reseller. To enable this, follow these steps:

1. In the sniffer configuration file located at /etc/voipmonitor.conf, enable the following option and restart the sniffer service:

ipaccount = yes

2. By default, the counts are increased every ipaccount_interval, which is set to 300 seconds. You can adjust this interval as needed. For example, to change the interval to 10 seconds, modify the following configuration:

ipaccount_interval = 300

Alternatively, for testing or debugging, you can reduce the interval:

ipaccount_interval = 10

Once the sniffer service is restarted and the aggregation tables are created in the database, new menu items will appear under the Users & Audit section in the GUI, specifically for resellers and customers.

Enabling Customer Differentiation

To enable customer differentiation in the GUI, follow these steps:

1. In the GUI configuration file located at /var/www/html/config/configuration.php (assuming the default path for the GUI is /var/www/html), add the following definitions:

define('ENABLE_CUSTOMERS', true);
define('TYPE_CUSTOMERS_TABLES', 'users');

This will store the customers in the users table.

Alternative Table Structure

If you want to store customers in a separate table, rather than in the users table, modify the configuration as follows:

define('ENABLE_CUSTOMERS', true);
define('TYPE_CUSTOMERS_TABLES', 'customers');

This will create a separate table for storing customer data. The sniffer will then understand that it needs to differentiate between customers when storing data. Additionally, customers can log in to the GUI and view their data in the ipacc tables, including their call logs if number prefixes are specified for them.

Once the customers and resellers are defined, the GUI will allow for the definition of superior and subordinate instances, further differentiating between customer levels.
