CDR only log external calls not system calls

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Hi I’m using mysql to collect cdr from asterisk.

It’s working well but I’m getting cdr from internal processes, example:
“2014-09-02 2:01:24”,“s”,“default”,“Bridge/0xb7402aa4output”,“8”,“8”,“ANSWERED”,“3”,“1409691684.3”,

Is there a setting to not log this type of activity?

I’m only interested in external calls being logged.

Thanks

is there a logging level that can be adjusted?

No.
In particular, Asterisk makes no distinction between external and internal calls; that is something imposed by the dialplan, but not something that the Asterisk core understands.

There is, of course, a NoCDR application, that lets you suppress CDRs under control of the dialplan on a call by call basis.

Thanks for the information. I didn’t know about that application.

I can’t see this would help this particular question as it looks like confbridge is counting itself as a separate call I have no control over.

I guess I may need to look at this as part of a forensics tool set and capture everything and filter down with a search tool.

Thanks

For forensics, you should not be using CDRs. They have too many limitations.

What would you use instead?

CEL or even AMI events.
