SolarWinds has released SolarWinds VoIP Call Detail Record Tracker, a robust free tool to help IT pros manage voice over IP (VoIP) with Call Detail Record (CDR) tracking, and the only free tool of its kind in the VoIP management market that allows users to search and display CDRs.
SolarWinds determined the need among IT pros for a VoIP CDR Tracker free tool based on demand and discussion on thwack, the SolarWinds community of over 100,000 IT pros that offers a space to request new products and features, as well as share insight and address IT management challenges.
"With the increase in VoIP deployments over the last few years, IT pros have been clamoring for an easy-to-use tool that will aid in the analysis and troubleshooting of VoIP call quality," said Sanjay Castelino, VP and Market Leader, SolarWinds. "With SolarWinds VoIP CDR Tracker, IT pros can quickly and easily track and monitor VoIP call performance from the convenience of their desktops."
SolarWinds VoIP CDR Tracker provides IT pros with a desktop utility to track the performance of VoIP calls by searching, filtering and sorting Cisco CallManager call detail records. IT pros can quickly view key details about the call, including originating and destination number, originating and destination IP address, date, time, status, termination causes, and MOS. When an end user's call is dropped, the IT pros can use SolarWinds VoIP CDR Tracker to assist in determining the root of the problem and find its solution.
SolarWinds VoIP CDR Tracker Highlights:
- Search, retrieve, and view CDRs
- Load up to 48 hours of CDR data
- Support for Cisco CallManager CDR files
For a comprehensive VoIP management solution, SolarWinds VoIP & Network Quality Manager (formerly IP SLA Manager) monitors the performance of individual VoIP calls by analyzing call quality metrics available within the call detail record (CDR) and provides real-time alerts when critical thresholds are exceeded. Coupled with its proactive WAN performance analysis capability, VoIP & Network Quality Manager will allow IT pros to troubleshoot and solve VoIP QoS problems faster and more effectively.

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...

Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
