Cdrfile module

Cdrfile is a module that receive a "chan.cdr" message (maybe from cdrbuild) and is writing the cdr into a file

Here's list of available variables that could be used to construct a CDR record of your liking. Notice, in order for a parameter to be avaiable in the cdr, it has to be enabled in cdrbuild.conf

The cdrwrite parameter is special, a boolean value of false will prevent the CDR from being written. This is to avoid generating CDR records for utility channels while still being able to track them.

 
${time} - UNIX time
${billid} - billing record id
${chan} - channel used
${address} - destination address
${caller} - username/number of the device that initiated/received the call
${called} - destination number
${callername} - caller id 
${billtime} - billable call duration, starts from the point when the 
              remote party actually answers the call
${ringtime} - total time of the call
${direction} - has a value of outgoing or incoming
${status} - disposition of the call
${reason} - reason for call disconnection 
 

Config file

 
[general]
; file: string: Name of the file to write the CDR to
file=/tmp/cdr.tsv

; tabs: bool: Use tab-separated instead of comma-separated if format is missing
tabs=true

; format: string: Custom format to use, overrides default. Each ${parameter}
;  is replaced with the value of that parameter in the call.cdr message
; default value depends if tabs or commas are used
 

In many real-life situations CDR billing is done in seconds and it's useful to set resolution=sec in cdrbuild.conf
