Asterisk billing support - Call Detail Records
|
|
----------------------------------------------
|
|
Asterisk generates Call Detail Records in a database or in a comma
|
|
separated text file.
|
|
|
|
* cdr_csv supports comma separated text file storage, this is the
|
|
default driver
|
|
* cdr_manager supports CDR information via the AMI, The Asterisk Manager
|
|
interface
|
|
* cdr_odbc supports UnixODBC databases, see http://www.unixodbc.org
|
|
for an updated list of supported databases, from MySQL to MsSQL
|
|
and text files.
|
|
* cdr_tds supports FreeTDS databases (Among them MS SQL)
|
|
NOTE: Please read doc/freetds.txt for information on possible
|
|
problems with the FreeTDS driver
|
|
* cdr_sqlite supports SQlite
|
|
* cdr_pgsql supports PostgreSQL
|
|
|
|
In the asterisk-addons subversion repository, there's a cdr_mysql driver for
|
|
MySQL.
|
|
|
|
Applications
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* SetAccount Set account code for billing
|
|
* SetAMAFlags Sets AMA flags
|
|
* NoCDR Make sure no CDR is saved for a specific call
|
|
* ResetCDR Reset CDR
|
|
* ForkCDR Save current CDR and start a new CDR for this call
|
|
* Authenticate Authenticates and sets the account code
|
|
* SetCDRUserField Set CDR user field
|
|
* AppendCDRUserField Append data to CDR User field
|
|
|
|
For more information, use the "show application" command.
|
|
You can set default account codes and AMA flags for devices in
|
|
channel configuration files, like sip.conf, iax.conf etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Fields of the CDR in Asterisk
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. accountcode: What account number to use, (string, 20 characters)
|
|
2. src: Caller*ID number (string, 80 characters)
|
|
3. dst: Destination extension (string, 80 characters)
|
|
4. dcontext: Destination context (string, 80 characters)
|
|
5. clid: Caller*ID with text (80 characters)
|
|
6. channel: Channel used (80 characters)
|
|
7. dstchannel: Destination channel if appropriate (80 characters)
|
|
8. lastapp: Last application if appropriate (80 characters)
|
|
9. lastdata: Last application data (arguments) (80 characters)
|
|
10. start: Start of call (date/time)
|
|
11. answer: Answer of call (date/time)
|
|
12. end: End of call (date/time)
|
|
13. duration: Total time in system, in seconds (integer), from dial to hangup
|
|
14. billsec: Total time call is up, in seconds (integer), from answer to hangup
|
|
15. disposition: What happened to the call: ANSWERED, NO ANSWER, BUSY
|
|
16. amaflags: What flags to use: DOCUMENTATION, BILL, IGNORE etc,
|
|
specified on a per channel basis like accountcode.
|
|
17. user field: A user-defined field, maximum 255 characters
|
|
|
|
In some cases, uniqueid is appended:
|
|
|
|
* uniqueid: Unique Channel Identifier (32 characters)
|
|
This needs to be enabled in the source code at compile time
|
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you use IAX2 channels for your calls, and allow 'full' transfers
|
|
(not media-only transfers), then when the calls is transferred the server
|
|
in the middle will no longer be involved in the signaling path, and thus
|
|
will not generate accurate CDRs for that call. If you can, use media-only
|
|
transfers with IAX2 to avoid this problem, or turn off transfers completely
|
|
(although this can result in a media latency increase since the media packets
|
|
have to traverse the middle server(s) in the call).

CDR Variables
|
|
------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
If the channel has a cdr, that cdr record has its own set of variables which
|
|
can be accessed just like channel variables. The following builtin variables
|
|
are available.
|
|
|
|
${CDR(clid)} Caller ID
|
|
${CDR(src)} Source
|
|
${CDR(dst)} Destination
|
|
${CDR(dcontext)} Destination context
|
|
${CDR(channel)} Channel name
|
|
${CDR(dstchannel)} Destination channel
|
|
${CDR(lastapp)} Last app executed
|
|
${CDR(lastdata)} Last app's arguments
|
|
${CDR(start)} Time the call started.
|
|
${CDR(answer)} Time the call was answered.
|
|
${CDR(end)} Time the call ended.
|
|
${CDR(duration)} Duration of the call.
|
|
${CDR(billsec)} Duration of the call once it was answered.
|
|
${CDR(disposition)} ANSWERED, NO ANSWER, BUSY
|
|
${CDR(amaflags)} DOCUMENTATION, BILL, IGNORE etc
|
|
${CDR(accountcode)} The channel's account code.
|
|
${CDR(uniqueid)} The channel's unique id.
|
|
${CDR(userfield)} The channels uses specified field.
|
|
|
|
In addition, you can set your own extra variables by using Set(CDR(name)=value).
|
|
These variables can be output into a text-format CDR by using the cdr_custom
|
|
CDR driver; see the cdr_custom.conf.sample file in the configs directory for
|
|
an example of how to do this.
