Hi, I'm stuck on a silly thing. I need to get the "billsec" CDR value after a call. But I'm finding its always 0. Here's my test code: exten => *244*,1,Dial(Local/test@custom-tests/n,,g) exten => *244*,n,Noop(after dial duration is ${CDR(duration)} billsec is ${CDR(billsec)}) exten => *244*,n,Hangup [custom-tests] exten => t...

Hello, I want to create php rate script and I'm using Deadagi. But I allways get billsec 0 , or nothing. Can you help me to solve this problem... My extension.conf: exten => _123,1,DeadAgi(rate.php) exten => _123,2,hangup And my simple test php script rate.php #!/usr/local/bin/php -q <?php include_once (dirname(__FILE__)."/phpagi.php"); $AGI = new AGI(); $AGI->a...

...o a context that has IVR, TTS/ VXML etc. Running with 1.4.20.1, we have not had any issues and have been able to access all of the CDR fields in the h exten (using endbeforehexten=yes in cdr.conf) however after upgrading all our post answer related cdr information is reporting 0. Fields such as billsec, answer etc all return either 0 or null which is causing a lot of issues for us as we use some AGI post call via the h exten to perform processing based on billable duration etc. I have found a number of threads / articles etc discussing various billsec related issues but it is hard to get a p...

Hi all, I have a strange situation on a Asterisk 1.2.17 with FreePBX 2.2.1 Doing a select in the CDR table I noticed there are some calls with billsec greater than duration, duration is always 0 in those calls. How can this happens ? Am I missing something ? Tnx in advance Regards Edoardo Serra WeBRainstorm S.r.l.

How is the billsec field calculated in CDRs? I have a situation where billsec is being reported as 0 despite the call being answered and a conversation occurring. An example record follows: '2007-11-06 21:36:50', '6495566778', '6495566778', '0116495566778', '1100012_1',...

...conditions it calls out on a number grabbed from a database. Something like this : exten => s,n,Do something exten => s,n,Do something else exten => s,n,Dial(ZAP/g1/${OUTBOUND},${timeout}) I need to log the time the person was connected to $(OUTBOUND) , these are duration and billsec in the CDR's So at hangup I do something like this. exten => h,1,DeadAGI(cdr- outlogger.php|${CDR(start)}|${OUTBOUND}|${CDR(channel)}|${CDR(duration)}|$ {CDR(billsec)}|${CDR(disposition)}|${CDR(accountcode)}) Trouble is duration and billsec are *ALWAYS* 0 (zero), as if they have n...

Hi people, when I try to get the billsec in the dialplan, it is 0... but if after that I check the database, it is right (not 0). I'm trying to get it in the h extension, like: exten => h,1,Noop(End) exten => h,n,Noop(Time is ${CDR(billsec)}) .... Is it updated after the extension h is executed? In that case, how can I get the...

Hi, I've got a dialplan that transfers all outgoing calls to a Local channel before dialling out via SIP. I did this because sometimes i'm dialling two numbers at the same time and need to know which call is answered for billing purposes. However, I've just noticed that billsec is always equal to 0 even though i know the calls were answered. I now have to take the cdrs from my provider and recalculate the billsec manually. Any ideas why Local/ causes billsec to always be zero? Ive seen quite a few bug reports but no resolution. I'm using 1.4.35. Thanks Dan -------...

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Why doesn't CDR(duration) or CDR(billsec) return the correct values? cdr.conf endbeforehexten=yes extensions.conf [macro-Dial] ; ${ARG1} - Dial String exten => s,1,Dial(${ARG1},,M(post-dial)) exten => h,1,NoOp(Call was hung up - ${CDR(duration)} seconds long, billed for ${CDR(billsec)} seconds) The log shows: -- Exe...

I was just going through my call records ( stored in mysql database by cdr_MYSQL module ) and saw a record having duration = 0 and billsec of more than 50 seconds . I did a query on cdr where duration < billsec and saw that there were infact some 250 records with duration less than billsecond ( table had around 4,00,000 records) . Did anyone came across this ? I also checked csv files and they had same record with duration 0 and hi...

Hi, My costumers are logged in on my Asterisk PBX through XLite Softphone (SIP). My server is connected to PSTN. Problem is when SIP phone calls ordinary phone via dahdi I get DAHDI/1-1 ANSWERED SIP/number-number and billsec field from cdr is start counting. Is it normal behavior ? Can I change that ? So channel gets in ANSWERED state and billsec starts as soon as line starts to ring even if no one really pick up ordinary phone and costumer did not talk to anyone. That leads to problem that costumers will be billed e...

...a Local channel (and using /n ) e.g. Dial(Local/<my-number>@outbound-context/n,60) The number is dialled and the call is all fine. In the CDR we have 2 entries, one for the inbound leg and one for the outbound leg as is expected by the use of the /n However, the outbound leg CDR entry has a billsec of 0. The CDR for the inbound leg has the correct duration of the call in the billsec column (I'm writing CDRs to MySQL) This is causing issues in my billing module for obvious reasons. I'm having to find the inbound call by matching the channel in one leg with the dstchannel in the other...

Hi I'm having a problem with Asterisk 1.6.2.9 with the MySQL cdr addon. With some calls, the value in the `billsec` field in the CDR is exceeding the value in the `duration` field. I didn't think this was supposed to happen? Our old installation (some ancient version, sorry not available) always had `billsec` <= `duration`. The problem does not seem to be evenly distributed among extensions. If y...

Can someone help me, im using latest CVS, asterisk and cdr_mysql, when I make a bridge call (using .call files in outgoing/) I always get 'billsec=12' in the cdr, both mysql and Master file even if the call lasted longer, watching the Master file while making a call I see it updated at 12 seconds even while im still 'in' the DIAL app and the call continues on just fine. Iv looked through all my scripts and cant see anything to cau...

This is more of mysql question then asterisk :D . Most voip providers use 6 second rounding for costing . My asterisk server stores call cdr's in mysql properly with billsec field containing number of billed seconds . I want to know some function to round this to 6 seconds ( or any custom valud like 30 seconds ) ..Suppose if billsec field is 3 seconds then it should round to 6 seconds , if its 13 second then it should round up to 18 seconds ( for 6sec pulse counting )...

The behaviour of my Asterisk appears to have changed suddenly without any apparent cause. The version is use is 1.4.27.1 When a call is not answered billsec is set to duration, and calls are charged. I can't see any change I could have made to cause this problem. Is it something already known in Asterisk? /voipfc

...emicell. When I dial the premicell, after about two seconds is says 'ZAP/1 answered', then it takes a few more seconds for the call to hit the cellular network, before the cellphone starts to ring. However, asterisk sees the 'ZAP/1 answered' as the cell phone being answered, so my billsecs in the cdr's are off by ten seconds or so, and all the cdr's are 'ANSWERED', even though the cell phone was not answered. my dial string looks like so: (all calls come in to inbound) [inbound] exten => _X.,1,Dial(ZAP/1) I have a standard zaptel and zapata, Asterisk 1.2.6 th...

...ind the solution. This is the scenario: GSM Phone ----- GSM Network ---- TDM2406E --- ASterisk 1.4.0 (*) -------- VoIP Provider ------- Sip Phone or H323 Phone The problem is that I am generating calls from SIP and also h323 (using ooh323), and always I saw differences between duration time and billsecs just for 4 or 3 seconds. Altought the difference is much more, I mean I just call from SIP and H323 clients and always I saw the same behaviour. When I generate the call I wait to pickup the cell phone almost 10 secs, the right time should be something like 30 secs, but I saw duration = 50, and b...

I have an X100P and when I place calls to the PSTN which are not answered, the Billsec field of the CDR still logs the seconds that the phone rang. Can someone please confirm that this has to do with the ringcadance of the indications.conf file? Is there anything else I need to check ?

Hi I've been noticing an odd issue with our servers (1.4.17) where a large number of one particular customer's (we operate a hosted VoIP platform) calls go through a Local channel rather than the SIP channel and whenever this happens our asterisk CDR is recording a billsec value of 0. Our outgoing calls to POTS are sent through a separate carrier and we get a daily CDR off them in which these same calls have a non 0 duration so we are obviously making a loss on these calls. All out customers outgoing calls go through the same macro which is as follows [macro-ext...
