similar to: billsec is set to duration if call is not answered

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

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 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

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

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

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'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 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, To check telco billing, I'm usinfg Asterisk-Stats from http://www.areski.net/asterisk-stat-v2/about.php . How can you tweak this application to display graphics and data that use Billsec instead of Duration ? Regards -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

hi i've made some test calls, i've notice that a call of the duration of 1:29 minutes is recorded in the cdr database as 1:45 minutes, is it normal? i think that 15 seconds are too many... how can i correct this? thanks

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 => test,1,Answer exten =>

Hello, i have call time irregularites in my asterisk CDR. I a currently using a mysqly backent to save CDR records and use this to generate bills at the end of each month. However, my users are complaining that they gety charged for even uncompleted calls (i.e. calls they make whaich have already be setup but canclled). i have noticed that only 'AWNSERED' and 'Busy' show up in my

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();

I'm using a macro such that if a call is forwarded to my mobile, I can choose to accept it or not. This is done with the following Dial command: Dial(IAX2/voiptalk/44${ARG1:1},15,trM(screen)ow) and the following macro: [macro-screen] ; Allow called user to accept/reject the call exten => s,1,Wait(0.2) exten => s,2,Read(Accept|loho-support-choose|1) exten =>

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 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

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

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)
