Signaling Logs

Signaling Logs are a way to see all signaling going between the Radio Access Network (RAN) and Onomondo.

What are Signaling Logs?

Signaling Logs is an aggregation of all the control plane traffic that occurs between Onomondo and the RAN whenever a device connects to a network. Signaling Logs allows you to see all of that communication in real time.

The control plane traffic includes information around authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA). This takes place between different components of the telecommunication network (HSS, HLR, VLR, SGSN, SGWs, and so on). More specifically then the different protocols that are encompassed in these logs are Diameter, GSM MAP, GTP, and GTPv2, which relates to the different cellular technologies in the following way.

Protocol	Technology	Connection Sequence
GSM MAP	GSM, 2G, 3G	Authentication, SMSs
Diameter	LTE, LTE-M, NB-IoT	Authentication and accounting
GTP	2G, 3G	Registration
GTPv2	LTE, LTE-M, NB-IoT	Registration

Interpreting the information displayed in Signaling Logs requires some knowledge of telecommunication and networking. You can learn more about how to interpret the logs here.

How to use them

You are able to see the Signaling Logs in the platform, no matter where in the world the device is. The logs are also stored historically, so you can always go back and dive into it later. Watch the video above for more information around how to access them.

Historical data regarding Signaling Logs is stored for up to three months.
