[asterisk-users] How to get TCP access to CDR Master.csv
Hi. I'd like to get access to the CDR's generated by Asterisk (1.4) in real-time from a remote connection coming in on TCP. Basically what I have is a Windows application that is used to process incoming, outgoing and missed call records putting them into a database for some analysing etc. This app can connect to a TCP server and read from this connection the CDR's as they are coming in (being generated). I can't find this as a "feature" of the standard Asterisk... but maybe I'm missing something? The closest I could get is something around the manager api but it's not really what I'm after. I'd like to access the CDR's them selves. Being a (more or less) novice Linux user the only thing I can think of is trying to do this using Perl scripts where it would set up a listening socket and when connection is received it would do something like (in princip, not managed to do this properly yet): ... print $connection `tail -f /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv` ... But even this is full of issues to solve. Things like only one connection at a time (which I can live with) from the remote computer. The fact that tail will not write to the socket (yeah, a major issue probably) which I'm thinking of trying to solve by reading line by line somehow and writing back to the socket... not even sure if this is possible. So basically I'm hoping someone has a nice solution for this. With or witout scripting, external programs of some sort (runnin ubuntu 7.04 or 6.06) or whatever works. I'd really appreciate your input here. Sincerely, Baldvin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I?m no expert in this field bit I would have though logging the calls to MySQL
and then queering the MySQL database would be the best not to mention the
easiest way to get the details you are looking for.

Hello,
I am not sure if I totally understand the question but if your looking to stream
the connection you could create a simple bash script like this
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
tail -f /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv | nc -p 1024 -l
done
There probably is a better solution then this, but this will get you going
From any machine you should be able to type `telnet ip.of.machine 1024`

An Asterisk manager listener can get them and notify your application. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen at xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest at local.xorcom.com/tzafrir

>#!/bin/bash >while true; do > tail -f /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv | nc -p 1024 -l >doneThank you John, this bash script is exactly what I was looking for. Very simple, yet works. As for doing this with insert into database and then polling for it... well I don?t like polling. It?s a good idea, but in the end, for this solution/in this case, the system reading the socket will in fact file the data (post processing) in a sql database for storing and querying. tnx, Baldvin From: John Hass [mailto:asterisk.list at glccom.com] Sent: 24. okt?ber 2007 22:39 To: baldvin at rogg.is; Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion Subject: Re: [asterisk-users] How to get TCP access to CDR Master.csv -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
