Webex calling - All Calls Search

The All Calls search provides a combined view of inbound and outbound calls for a single Webex extension, phone number, or – for administrators – a flexible pattern match across the entire Webex tenant. Results include call direction, calling and called numbers, time, duration, and optional Webex-specific fields such as answer indicator, location, ring duration, and redirect reason.

Start Hour / End Hour Filter

Optional dropdowns restrict results to calls that originated within a specific hour window. Values are converted to UTC internally, so they respect your time zone. For example, set Start Hour to 8 and End Hour to 17 for business-hours analysis. Leave both blank to include all hours.

Predefined dates: Select from the dropdown (Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last 7 Days, This Month, etc.).

Free License Limit: On a free license, the start date is capped at 7 days in the past. Older dates are automatically adjusted forward.

 

Understanding the Results

Breadcrumb Bar

A breadcrumb trail at the top confirms the report context: Webex Calls → All Calls → date range → number of matching calls → current page. If the internal result limit (2,000,000 rows) is reached, a warning badge appears.

Call Activity Chart

When results span at least two time intervals, a collapsible line chart appears above the results table with two data series:

Total Calls (left axis) – the number of calls per interval.

Duration in Minutes (right axis) – combined talk time per interval.

The chart automatically switches between hourly intervals (for single-day searches) and daily intervals (for multi-day searches). A footer shows the grand total call count and the average call duration.

ℹ️ Tip: Click a legend label to hide or show that data series. Use the Toggle button to collapse the chart entirely.

Tips & Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Internal Calls filter work on Webex?

When unchecked, VoIP Detective joins each call record against the Webex user directory. If both the calling and called numbers match known internal users, the call is excluded. This means the filter only works reliably when your Webex user directory is fully synchronized.

Why do I see 0-second calls?

A 0-second call means the call was initiated but never connected. For inbound calls, this is usually a ring-no-answer (the caller hung up). For outbound calls, it’s typically a misdial or an immediate hang-up. Use the Zero Second Calls checkbox on the search form to include or exclude them.

What does “Yes-PostRedirection” mean in the Answer Indicator?

It means the call was answered, but only after being redirected at least once. For example, a call that rang Extension A, was forwarded to Extension B, and was answered at Extension B would show “Yes-PostRedirection.”

Can I search by phone number instead of extension?

Yes. Administrators can enter any string in the search field, including full E.164 phone numbers (e.g., +15551234567). The search matches against the calledNumber, callingNumber, redirectingNumber, and userNumber fields in the Webex CDR.

How often is Webex call data updated?

VoIP Detective polls the Webex API every 60 minutes for new call records. Cisco makes call data available approximately 5 minutes after the call ends. So there is a typical delay of 5–65 minutes before a call appears in reports.

Can I change the time zone of the results?

Yes. All times are displayed in your session’s configured time zone. The underlying Webex CDR data is stored in UTC, and VoIP Detective converts it for display and export.
