[asterisk-users] Modifying CDR values from a hangup extension in Asterisk 13
With endbeforehexten=no I actually get two CDR entries. One for the call and a second one for the "h" extension. "","13","10","sip-locals","""13"" <13>","SIP/13-00000006","SIP/10-00000007","Dial","SIP/10","2015-08-04 06:28:44","2015-08-04 06:28:45","2015-08-04 06:28:47",3,1,"ANSWERED","DOCUMENTATION","1438669724.6","empty" "","13","h","sip-locals","""13"" <13>","SIP/13-00000006","","NoOp","changed","2015-08-04 06:28:47","2015-08-04 06:28:47","2015-08-04 06:28:47",0,0,"ANSWERED","DOCUMENTATION","1438669724.6","changed" The first one contains the call itself. There are durations, CDR variables set during the call, etc. The second one contains only things configured in the "h" extension. With endbeforehexten=yes, the cdr contains: "","13","10","sip-locals","""13"" <13>","SIP/13-00000006","SIP/10-00000007","Dial","SIP/10","2015-08-04 06:28:44","2015-08-04 06:28:45","2015-08-04 06:28:47",3,1,"ANSWERED","DOCUMENTATION","1438669724.6","empty" There is only the call, nothing from the "h" extension. I forgot to mention that I'm using Asterisk 13.1-cert2. Modifying CDR records in the "h" extension used to work fine with Asterisk 1.8. By analyzing the code I must confirm that the endbeforehexten option behaves exactly according to its description: As each CDR for a channel is finished, its end time is updated and the CDR is finalized. When a channel is hung up and hangup logic is present (in the form of a hangup handler or the <literal>h</literal> extension), a new CDR is generated for the channel. Any statistics are gathered from this new CDR. By enabling this option, no new CDR is created for the dialplan logic that is executed in <literal>h</literal> extensions or attached hangup handler subroutines. The default value is <literal>yes</literal>, indicating that a CDR will be generated during hangup logic.</para> I tried to delay the "h" extension by several seconds and I found out, that the CDR record is sent to the cdr backend later. Unfortunately, it is not modifiable from the "h" extension, because the cdr_object is already in the finalized table. Is there a way how to modify the CDR without hacking the code? How bad idea is it to comment the (it_cdr->fn_table == &finalized_state_fn_table) tests in ast_cdr_setuserfield and ast_cdr_setvar and thus allow the "h" extension write to a finalized CDR? Is there any chance the feature was left out by an accident and if so, is there a plan to add it again?

I'm not sure :-) As the guy who signed himself up for the dubious honour of porting the CDR code to Asterisk 13 - and trying to figure out a consistent way to make it work - I err'd on the side of extreme caution. That is, if someone could make a mess of things, I should probably try to keep it from happening. A CDR can be finalized in a variety of ways: - Due to someone leaving a bridge - Due to a channel being hung up - Due to the CDR being forked Of those, modifying values is generally dangerous only in the "fork" scenario, as it may result in a CDR that a user 'ended' being modified. This is a concern when, as updating a value on a CDR walks the entire chain of CDRs, for all CDRs related to the channel: for (; (cdr = ao2_iterator_next(it_cdrs)); ao2_unlock(cdr), ao2_cleanup(cdr)) { ao2_lock(cdr); for (it_cdr = cdr; it_cdr; it_cdr = it_cdr->next) { struct varshead *headp = NULL; if (it_cdr->fn_table == &finalized_state_fn_table) { continue; } if (!strcasecmp(channel_name, it_cdr->party_a.snapshot->name)) { headp = &it_cdr->party_a.variables; } else if (it_cdr->party_b.snapshot && !strcasecmp(channel_name, it_cdr->party_b.snapshot->name)) { headp = &it_cdr->party_b.variables; } if (headp) { set_variable(headp, name, value); } } } ao2_iterator_destroy(it_cdrs); Currently, the fact that the CDR is in the finalized state is what prevents that value from being updated on CDRs that are effectively "closed." Now, all of that being said: this is one of those cases where the current behaviour - which is handling an extreme edge case - feels worse than ignoring that edge case. It's not like we let folks update "core" CDR values in any case, so you aren't in any danger of changing the billsec on a forked CDR. The worst that happens is you update the userfield on forked & closed CDRs when you didn't think it would update, in which case I suppose you could just use another field. Or read it first and append it from the dialplan.> Is there any chance the feature was left out by an accident and if so, is > there a plan to add it again? > > > My extensions.conf: > exten => h,1,NoOp(${CDR(userfield)}) > exten => h,n,Set(CDR(userfield)=changed) > exten => h,n,NoOp(${CDR(userfield)}) > exten => h,n,System(sleep 5) > exten => h,n,NoOp(${CDR(userfield)}) > exten => 10,1,Set(CDR(userfield)=empty) > exten => 10,n,Dial(SIP/10) > > Detailed log: > http://pastebin.com/fZ9RAhL4 > > >I'd be fine if you'd like to open an issue for it.

[asterisk-users] Modifying CDR values from a hangup extension in Asterisk 13
Hi, Reading this old thread, may I ask if keeping hangup handlers from updating CDR values still enforced in Asterisk 15 ? If positive, would it be very complex to add in Asterisk, a configuration option allowing a system administrator to list in cdr.conf, the CDR fields allowed to be updated in hangup handlers ? I'm planning to store some RTCP stats. Saving them in CDR(userfield) would be perfect.
