1. A method comprising:

  • receiving, by a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server, first call event information, associated with a first call event, from a first module, the first call event information from the first module being processed by the first module using a first type of proprietary application;

    receiving, by the SIP server, second call event information, associated with a second call event, from a second module, the second call event information from the second module being processed by the second module using a second type of proprietary application, the second type of proprietary application being different from the first type of proprietary application;

    converting, by the SIP server, the first call event information from a first format associated with the first type of proprietary application into a first Extensible Markup Language (XML) document to generate a first call event record for the first call event information;

    converting, by the SIP server, the second call event information from a second format associated with the second type of proprietary application into a second XML document to generate a second call event record for the second call event information;

    creating, by the SIP server, an XML call event file based on the first XML document and the second XML document, creating the XML call event file including;

    generating a first section that includes data identifying relationships associated with one or more tags included in the XML call event file,generating a second section that includes data identifying the SIP server,generating third section that identifies a type of a first message associated with the first call event and a type of a second message associated with the second call event record, andgenerating a fourth section that includes information associated with a processing of the first message and information associated with a processing of the second message; and

    monitoring, by the SIP server, network traffic associated with the SIP server based on the XML call event file using a third type of proprietary application that is different than the first type of proprietary application and the second type of proprietary application.
