Hi All, I have been running a environment with asterisk 1.4.20.1 for some time now with no issue but have recently added some extra functionality (enabled call recording via MixMonitor) and ran into some deadlock issues which seem to be well documented with earlier 1.4.x releases so have decided to take the plunge and upgrade. I decided to start testing with 1.6.2 but have run into a couple

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 call duration in the h extension? Thanks, Anahi

Hi, Here is the scenario: Originating local channel using AMI. On answering the channel, it will goes to a context. Which start to playback a file. & after hangup at h extension I am caliing an agi script which insert CDR into DB.

Hello list, I'm having troubles implementing the ${CDR(duration)} & ${CDR(billsec)} variables in this scenario: PEER CALLS OUT -> CALL GOES TO PEER'S DEFAULT OUTGOING CONTEXT -> THE CALL IS SENT TO A MACRO AND GOES IN HANGUP -> THE CALL RETURNS TO EXTENSION h OF PEER'S DEFAULT OUTGOING CONTEXT (here I'm trying to print the variable)

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: -- Executing [h

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

Hi I'm using asterisk 1.8.23.1 but I've seen this same issue in previous versions of 1.8. I have created some work arounds but the behaviour is incorrect. This is the scenario: Call comes in and goes to appropriate dialplan In the dialplan the call is forwarded to another number using a Local channel (and using /n ) e.g. Dial(Local/<my-number>@outbound-context/n,60) The number is

Hi, all Sorry for null subject last mail. I use Ubuntu 12.04.01 TLS and install asterisk 11.7.0 (tar.gz downloaded from asterisk.org). We named it "Asterisk11". I want to generate a call file to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing. This call will dial out to Local Channel and return to some Extens. Then Asterisk11 will generate a CDR records to MySQL's cdr table(in database

Hi to all, I was looking in google and also in this mailing list, but I dont find the solution to my problem, so I subscribe me to the list in order to post this e-mail and find 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

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 ?

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

Hello, I am wondering if someone has got any ideas that can help solve this problem. I have a dial plan that you call into, and depending on certain 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

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...

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.

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

Hello! i'm trying to set up transfer without using the respective asterisk-function but with the built-in phone functions. my goal is to have the first callleg billed to the caller and the second callleg to the callee, who is responsible for the forward(and i can't bill a unknown caller anyways) so far it's working without problems, but my cdr's are messed. with the help of the

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

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', 'Local/0116495566778 at 1100012_1-887b,2',

Hi I am using Asterisk-1.6.1.6. Recently I had converted billsec and duration fields in my postgres 8.4 database from integer to numeric. I wanted to have better accuracy in calculating duration of the call. When the call is answered I can see better precision (for example 298.758421 sec), The problem is when the call is not answered (disposition is no answer) the duration is close to expected

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
