CDR's are, at the current time, and always have been attached to the channel struct; so, if you don't create a channel, then there is nowhere to attach a CDR, and no way to process that. > > > Can someone tell me what are the conditions under which CDR is not posted? We try to filter the CDR if a channel were created, but did nothing; an example is where a Dahdi device is taken off hook, and then hung up again. But getting all the conditions right has been tricky to filter this sort of event sequence. I think you'll find that CDR's are one of the least solid parts of Asterisk at the moment. There's brave and creative folks working on fixing the current implementation, but as far as I'm concerned, it's got some fundamental problems, and needs to be overhauled. If you are interested, you can read my spec for a new approach by: svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/RFCs and then looking at the pdf in that dir, for my spec for the CEL->CDR proposal. While I have abominated the complexity of the ForkCDR/NoCDR/etc mechanisms of the current solution, I have considered making the spec include them for backward compatibility... Current implementations based on the current mechanisms shouldn't have to be made obsolete, although they usually do depend on a great deal of undocumented behavior, that may be tricky to imitate. murf > > > Thanks > Jim > > -- Steve Murphy ParseTree Corp
