Voip events showing that the CDRs cannot be downloaded from the FTP server as seen below.



Checking the log file in IpSlam.Ftp.job shows that there is a timeout warning when VNQM is trying to get the files list.

Cause

This can be caused by a large amount of CDR/CMR files saved on the FTP location which is the culprit on why the file listing timed out.

Resolution

1. Remotely access the FTP server where the CDR and CMR files are being saved
2. Verify how many CDR/CMR files saved on the FTP and check the dates (the error message above was observed from an environment having more than 10k of CDRs/CMRs files)
3. Reduce the number of files (i.e. retain files with dates from the last 3 months) and verify if VNQM will be able to download the latest CDRs and CMRs.
