asterisk users - Nov 2005 - FW: CDR issues

Forgot to say: I am using version 1.2, stable.  


---------

I'm having problems setting up the CDR functionality.  Namely, it
doesn't
always wok (but I do have some records).  When typing "cdr mysql
status" in
the Asterisk console, it does say "connected for 3 minutes 22 seconds, with
0 records added since last restart".  But I did call a few times into my
PBX, so what is the issue?

Thing is, somehow (and I didn't change any config) there are three records
into the CDR table.  And they correspond with real calls.  It just stopped
taking in more, somehow....and those three weren't in sequence, the system
missed a few calls.

My biggest grip is I don't know where to troubleshoot this.  Any log files I
can look at?  The message log in var/log/asterisk only shows that I am
"using simple CDR".

Next natural question: When I dial into my PBX, and my PBX dials out to make
a bridge, can the CDR DB show the two calls (the incoming one and the
outgoing one) separately?

Enable MySQL logging in /etc/my.cnf
Restart mysqld.
Then use your favorite tail program, (like multitail) to watch 
/var/log/mysqld/mysqld.log
You should see the inserts into the cdr table or lack thereof.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level, I'm
really quite busy.
