Call Detail Records

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi! I realised that there is no documentation on CDR. Would like to know what is the the call log and CDR. I need information like how long is each call, how many rings before answered, how many missed calls, date and time of the call, CallerID, etc. Can we get from Asterisk? Is it in the standard CDR/call log or we need to program?

Thanks for your help.

It is usually located in /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv

Pardon my ignorance as I had not installed Asterisk yet. I presume all the call information, timing, lost, received, call waiting, etc are stored in Master.csv? Anyone had reviewed the file?

I notice that the log does not have details like the number of rings before the call was answered or abandoned. Any insights? Appreciated.

Number of seconds before the call was answered is something like duration minus billsec.
