VoIP Call Detail Reporting [7:43238]
I have a network of about 21 offices that each have a MC3810 doing VoIP between them. Now, I'm wanting to setup Call Detail Reporting (CDR) so that I can basically just get a total number of minutes each month that the VoIP lines are in use so that I can build some sort of dollar savings report. I'm planning on writing my own system by setting the CDR information to log to a linux box's syslog, parsing out the fields with utilities like awk and 'cut', and entering them into a MySQL database where I can then use PHP to generate pages on usage statistics. Sounds like a lot, hmm? Therefore, I'm wondering if anything exists that does this already before I start working on the project. I've looked at CallManager product literature, but it seems to be overkill for just generating CDR reports since we don't have IP phones. Does anyone have any suggestions?

OK, if you don't have IP Phones, I assume that means you don't have CallManager. The question then is what are you using for a PBX. The easiest place to pull that information is from the phone switch. I haven't seen that information being collected at the voice gateway.

Right, I was saying that I looked at CallManager but it seemed like overkill since we don't use IP phones. Logging from the PBX is definitely not the easiest place to pull information when we're talking about 21 PBXs where it's hard to find two that are alike or even offer call logging. Searching around on the Internet, I've found a syslog daemon called msyslogd that has a MySQL module for direct insertion into a SQL database. This should help out a little bit, but I'll still have to parse the data.
