similar to: Ignoring time spent waiting in queue in CDR

I have created an asterisk.org blog entry: http://www.asterisk.org/node/48358 to describe what I will shortly be committing to trunk to correct the weaknesses of CDRs, that asterisk users and developers have been complaining about for quite some time. Highlights: Restructuring the code and philosophy of CDRs. Plans to eliminate the ForkCDR() application Plans to create

Hello, We are recording our calls to queues by putting the appropriate options in our "queue.conf". This is all working properly. We would now like to set the MixMonitor option to adjust the caller volume (which is very quiet). With the regular MixMonitor application, we would just add the "v4" option to make it much louder. I don't see a way to set this option when

HI, Anyone knows the current status of JIAXclient? I tried to recompile the sources available in sourceforge but they reference a old java package that I was not able to find. I tried to e-mail the author but seems that his account is no longer valid. I in need of a java IAX client that could be loaded as an applet. I know that is a lot of viable SIP alternatives, but due to NAT/Firewall

When I compare my total minutes on the bill from VoIP Innovations, to the number from our CDRs, I'm finding a smalish (3-4%) discrepancy in the count of minutes. I'm wondering why it's there. Are there different methods of counting the billable start or end point of a phone call? If it matters, I'm counting more termination minutes than they are and they're counting more

Hello - I am upgrading from asterisk v1.2 to v1.6 and I am seeing a problem with recording CDRs using MySQL. Unlike all of the other postings and web pages I have found on this issue, my installation successfully stores the -first- CDR, but nothing after that. As background info, I will note that I don't use CDRs for billing, but more in a logging fashion, to record how a given call

Hello, I ran into an interesting problem earlier today. I have a Unix machine I maintain in a largely Windows shop. They use Windows Backup for their backups, and so I created a readonly share of the entire filesystem with one user, "backup", who is an admin user. This lets them back up the entire Unix machine by attaching to the "backup" share, but nothing can be changed.

Does anyone have an example of hoe to use these two commands? I have read he documentation, and I am still unclear on where this command goes, as part of extensions.conf or where? If someone could post a working example it would be most helpful. Regards to all, Joe

Hi to all. What can i do if a customer needs to log in the CDR all the dialpan actions related to a call? I mean, not only the lastapp e the lastdata but all the dialpan actions! I know that the actual CDR system store one record for each call (and for billing purposes this can be correct) but in some cases the approach needed is something similar to the queue_log. I know that exists ResetCDR

All, According to my readings CDRs are stored at the end of the call. My concerns is when asterisk goes down (I know that it's never happen but it's just in case) or when the is a power shutdown of the server. then CDRs are not stored in mysql. is there a way to store periodially CDR during a call, and set the periodical timer regarding the context. if no is there a way to retreive CDR,

Hello, When I bridge an incoming and outgoing call (attempting to simulate call-forwarding) I'm only getting one CDR -- that of the outgoing call. A (PSTN) calls B (residing on Asterisk) and the Asterisk calls C (cell phone on PSTN) and bridges the call. The only CDR created is from B to C. I have even tried using Answer() and ForkCDR() to get two CDRs, but to no avail. I am starting to

Hi All, PLEASE READ if you depend on Asterisk CDR's and support transfers. Apologies for the shout but I'm desperate to get others to agree Asterisk has a big problem with the CDR's that are generated for transfers. I can understand why not too many people are interested as transfers are complicated and messy. However for those of us having to support transfers and depending on

I'd like to know how everyone else is going about getting correct CDR information for calls. Right now I notice that if a call come in and gets parked the CDR info doesn't how the correct info on who picked that call up, also when someone transfer a call there isn't a new record being made so the duration of the call shows up for who received the call and transferred it. I started

Hi, I have the following dialplan. Problem is, if the user authenticates, * starts counting as billable seconds even if i hangup the phone before the called party answers..And also as disposition.. it accepts all calls authenticated as 'answered' If i commentout the authentication line everything works as it should be. How should i use authentication that, it should accept it as aswered by

Hi, Would just like to ask about cdr, i have an asterisk and i would like to bill only outbound calls not extension to extension, when i'm looking at the CDR, i can't figure out which fields i need to filter all outbound calls only. e.g if i dial 00. or 9XXXXXX (for local pstn calls) those are billable, 100 101 or 102 (all local extensions) not billable. *97 for voicemail not billable,

Hi, Using 1.6.2.13. I'd like to know how I can force Asterisk to fork a call. To simplify things, Let's say I have an out context (for outbound calls) and an in (for inbound). If person A wants to call person B, and both are on my servers, I don`t want to send the call out. I want all this to happen internally on my server. The problem is if I use some condition to send

Hello all: I upgraded to 1.4.3 last night and use MySQL for CDR. I have noticed that 1.4.3 seems to log a lot of "crap" to CDR that 1.4.2 did not. I use a few macros in my dialplan to handle outgoing calls (lcr type stuff) and in addition to the proper CDR for the call itself I also have records to 's' in the same dest-context and entries to 's' in the default context.

Hi We have the following test .call file and test dialplan: I can't set a custom CDR var to a value on one channel leg, and another value on the connected channel leg? Is there a way I can woraround this issue? ## test call file Channel: Local/queue at TiagoGeada CallerID: teste-geada:0:210332450: MaxRetries: 0 RetryTime: 1 WaitTime: 8640 Account: teste-geada Context: TiagoGeada

Hi all, i am wondering if i can make two leg cdr in mysql cdr table. 1st Leg : Registrar the ATA which registered to the asterisk and it normally logging in cdr table. 2nd Leg : The CDR of carrier for the example if i send call like exten => _x.,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN}@AT&TIP) I this cause i can get the accrue duration of call because currently we are facing some call missing not coming

I've taken the liberty of starting a new thread to discuss the design of the Asterisk CDR mechanism. The discussion has been kindly initiated by murf putting together a proposal: http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/RFCs. After reading the proposal I still don't think it's the right way to go. To my mind adding more channel variables increases the complexity in a situation

Hi friends, I have the entry exten => h,Hangup in my extensions.conf, and I am trying to record the call details for billing. From the wiki i found out that the use of "exten=>h,..." is not suggested for the CDRs. What impact will the use of 'h' make on CDRs? Also, what is the advantage of using ResetCDR with exten=>h?
