asterisk users - Apr 2014 - AMI Originate CDRs

Hello,

There seems to be a problem with asterisk cdrs when calls are generated via
AMI Originate using Local channels.

Asterisk writes CDR as soon as A party off-hooks. Resulting in very
inaccurate billsec and duration values.

Expected CDR in case of local channel origination should be 2 records, one
can be when A party answers, and the other should be written when B party
hangs up the phone.

Any hints??

Instead of using CDR for this, could you get the info you need using
channel event logging (Asterisk CEL)?  I have never used it myself - just
something I've run across in the past that seems like it might work for
this case:
