If you are trying to provide CDR files to a billing service, such as
WebCDR.com, you need to provide files containing your latest call data
every 15 minutes or so. I wrote a script and a cron job that will create
a new CDR file every 15 minutes with the latest CDR records, without
interrupting call flow. You do not need to make any changes to your
Asterisk configuration to use these scripts.
There are two files that you need to install on your Asterisk server:
asterisk-cdr-rollover.sh – A bash shell script. Copy this file into
/usr/local/sbin. This script moves the file
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv to a new file named
/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/cdr-YYYYMMDDHHMISS.csv, where YYYYMMDDHHMISS
is the current time. A new zero-byte Master.csv file is created using
the default umask of the user running the asterisk process. Asterisk
will start writing to the new Master.csv file at the end of the next call.
asterisk-cdr-rollover – This is a cron job. Copy it into /etc/cron.d and
it will run the /usr/local/sbin/asterisk-cdr-rollover.sh script once
every 15 minutes.
The cron job is set up to run as the user “asterisk”. If you are running
asterisk as “root” or some other user name, edit the
asterisk-cdr-rollover cron job and change the name of the user running
the script to the same name as the user running the asterisk process.
The latest versions of these two files can be downloaded from GitHub:
