;
; Asterisk Call Detail Record engine configuration
;
; CDR is Call Detail Record, which provides logging services via a variety of
; pluggable backend modules. Detailed call information can be recorded to
; databases, files, etc. Useful for billing, fraud prevention, compliance with
; Sarbanes-Oxley aka The Enron Act, QOS evaluations, and more.
;
[general]
; Define whether or not to use CDR logging. Setting this to "no" will override
; any loading of backend CDR modules. Default is "yes".
enable=yes
; Define the CDR batch mode, where instead of posting the CDR at the end of
; every call, the data will be stored in a buffer to help alleviate load on the
; asterisk server. Default is "no".
;
; WARNING WARNING WARNING
; Use of batch mode may result in data loss after unsafe asterisk termination
; ie. software crash, power failure, kill -9, etc.
; WARNING WARNING WARNING
;
;batch=no
; Define the maximum number of CDRs to accumulate in the buffer before posting
; them to the backend engines. 'batch' must be set to 'yes'. Default is 100.
;size=100
; Define the maximum time to accumulate CDRs in the buffer before posting them
; to the backend engines. If this time limit is reached, then it will post the
; records, regardless of the value defined for 'size'. 'batch' must be set to
; 'yes'. Note that time is in seconds. Default is 300 (5 minutes).
;time=300
; The CDR engine uses the internal asterisk scheduler to determine when to post
; records. Posting can either occur inside the scheduler thread, or a new
; thread can be spawned for the submission of every batch. For small batches,
; it might be acceptable to just use the scheduler thread, so set this to "yes".
; For large batches, say anything over size=10, a new thread is recommended, so
; set this to "no". Default is "no".
;scheduleronly=no
; When shutting down asterisk, you can block until the CDRs are submitted. If
; you don't, then data will likely be lost. You can always check the size of
; the CDR batch buffer with the CLI "cdr status" command. To enable blocking on
; submission of CDR data during asterisk shutdown, set this to "yes". Default
; is "yes".
;safeshutdown=yes
; Normally, CDR's are not closed out until after all extensions are finished
; executing. By enabling this option, the CDR will be ended before executing
; the "h" extension so that CDR values such as "end" and "billsec" may be
; retrieved inside of of this extension.
;endbeforehexten=no

;
; CHOOSING A CDR "BACKEND" (what kind of output to generate)
;
; To choose a backend, you have to make sure either the right category is
; defined in this file, or that the appropriate config file exists, and has the
; proper definitions in it. If there are any problems, usually, the entry will
; silently ignored, and you get no output.
;
; Also, please note that you can generate CDR records in as many formats as you
; wish. If you configure 5 different CDR formats, then each event will be logged
; in 5 different places! In the example config files, all formats are commented
; out except for the cdr-csv format.
;
; Here are all the possible back ends:
;
; csv, custom, manager, odbc, pgsql, radius, sqlite, tds
; (also, mysql is available via the asterisk-addons, due to licensing
; requirements)
; (please note, also, that other backends can be created, by creating
; a new backend module in the source cdr/ directory!)
;
; Some of the modules required to provide these backends will not build or install
; unless some dependency requirements are met. Examples of this are pgsql, odbc,
; etc. If you are not getting output as you would expect, the first thing to do
; is to run the command "make menuselect", and check what modules are available,
; by looking in the "2. Call Detail Recording" option in the main menu. If your
; backend is marked with XXX, you know that the "configure" command could not find
; the required libraries for that option.
;
; To get CDRs to be logged to the plain-jane /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv
; file, define the [csv] category in this file. No database necessary. The example
; config files are set up to provide this kind of output by default.
;
; To get custom csv CDR records, make sure the cdr_custom.conf file
; is present, and contains the proper [mappings] section. The advantage to
; using this backend, is that you can define which fields to output, and in
; what order. By default, the example configs are set up to mimic the cdr-csv
; output. If you don't make any changes to the mappings, you are basically generating
; the same thing as cdr-csv, but expending more CPU cycles to do so!
;
; To get manager events generated, make sure the cdr_manager.conf file exists,
; and the [general] section is defined, with the single variable 'enabled = yes'.
;
; For odbc, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that "make menuselect"
; shows that the modules are available, and the cdr_odbc.conf file exists, and
; has a [global] section with the proper variables defined.
;
; For pgsql, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that "make menuselect"
; shows that the modules are available, and the cdr_pgsql.conf file exists, and
; has a [global] section with the proper variables defined.
;
; For logging to radius databases, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that
; "make menuselect" shows that the modules are available, and the [radius]
; category is defined in this file, and in that section, make sure the 'radiuscfg'
; variable is properly pointing to an existing radiusclient.conf file.
;
; For logging to sqlite databases, make sure the 'cdr.db' file exists in the log directory,
; which is usually /var/log/asterisk. Of course, the proper libraries should be available
; during the 'configure' operation.
;
; For tds logging, make sure the proper libraries are available during the 'configure'
; phase, and that cdr_tds.conf exists and is properly set up with a [global] category.
;
; Also, remember, that if you wish to log CDR info to a database, you will have to define
; a specific table in that databse to make things work! See the doc directory for more details
; on how to create this table in each database.
