Abstract
A system and method for generating call detail records in a Signaling System 7 (SS7) network is disclosed. Network monitors that are capable of non-intrusively capturing all signaling units in an SS7 network are used to generate a complete record for all TCAP transactions. Users configure CDR profiles that are used to filter the TCAP transaction records. A CDR application filters the TCAP records by parsing out signaling unit components that have been selected by the user in the CDR profile. The selected TCAP message components are then formatted into a CDR record which is sent to an external system, such as the user's billing system.
