Using CSV CDRs

It is a simple thing to store CDRs in CSV format. This recipe describes the steps necessary to store call records in plain-text CSV files.

Getting ready

In the default configuration, mod_cdr_csv is compiled and enabled by default. CDR data is stored in the log/cdr-csv/ directory. To review the options available, open the conf/autoload_configs/cdr_csv.conf.xml file. Here are the parameters available in the settings section:

<settings>
    <!-- 'cdr-csv' will always be appended to log-base -->
    <!--<param name="log-base" value="/var/log"/>-->
    <param name="default-template" value="example"/>
    <!-- This is like the info app but after the call is hung up -->
    <!--<param name="debug" value="true"/>-->
    <param name="rotate-on-hup" value="true"/>
    <!-- may be a b or ab -->
    <param name="legs" value="a"/>
    <!-- Only log in Master.csv -->
    <!-- <param name="master-file-only" value...
