asterisk users - Feb 2006 - Regarding cdr_manager.conf

Hello,
 My question is.. How does cdr_manager work? Does it suppose to populate
cdr-csv/Master.csv? What about the cdr table on the database? What is the
event some people talk about?

 I have changed (and reloaded) my configuration of cdr_manager.conf to
;
; Asterisk Call Management CDR
;
[general]
enabled = yes

 and it doesn't seem to make any difference. After originate a call from the
manager interface my Master.csv is empty, cdr in my database also empty and
I don't get any new event apart of Newchannel or Hangup from the manager
interface.

An this is all I get from the Asterisk console:
   -- Reloading module 'cdr_manager.so' (Asterisk Call Manager CDR
Backend)
  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/cdr_manager.conf': Found

So..?

Kind Regards,
 Victor.

Hi Victor.

in /etc/asterisk/modules.conf you MUST have autoload=>yes, or better yet,
just load what you need INCLUDING the modules "cdr_manager.so", you
can test
if you have it by doing in the asterisk console "show modules", if you
dont
have it, you can load it immediatly from the console doing "load
cdr_manager.so".

If you have it, the new event is "Cdr" with the following fields:

 AccountCode
Source
Destination
DestinationContext
CallerID
Channel
DestinationChannel
LastApplication
LastData
StartTime
AnswerTime
EndTime
Duration
BillableSeconds
Disposition
AMAFlags
UniqueID
UserField



Regards

the cdr_manager.conf file control weather the Asterisk manager should include
the cdr event. it has nothing to do with Master.csv file. (you can read about
Asterisk manager here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+manager+API )

to enable the cdr engine in general, set "enable = yes" in cdr.conf

and setup at least one of .conf files specific to different databases:

Master.csv - cdr_custom.conf
Mysql - cdr_mysql.conf
odbc - cdr_odbc.conf
postgreSQL - cdr_pgsql.conf
FreeTDS - cdr_tds.conf
