However, you can simply run "make asterisk.pdf" to generate it yourself. We may include it in release tarballs or have automatically generated ones on the web site, but that has yet to be decided. ........ git-svn-id: http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@58932 f38db490-d61c-443f-a65b-d21fe96a405b

-Asterisk billing support - Call Detail Records
-----------------------------------------------
-Asterisk generates Call Detail Records in a database or in a comma
-separated text file.
-
- * cdr_csv supports comma separated text file storage, this is the
- default driver
- * cdr_manager supports CDR information via the AMI, The Asterisk Manager
- interface
- * cdr_odbc supports UnixODBC databases, see http://www.unixodbc.org
- for an updated list of supported databases, from MySQL to MsSQL
- and text files.
- * cdr_tds supports FreeTDS databases (Among them MS SQL)
- NOTE: Please read doc/freetds.txt for information on possible
- problems with the FreeTDS driver
- * cdr_sqlite supports SQlite
- * cdr_pgsql supports PostgreSQL
-
-In the asterisk-addons subversion repository, there's a cdr_mysql driver for
-MySQL.
-
-Applications
-------------
-
- * SetAccount Set account code for billing
- * SetAMAFlags Sets AMA flags
- * NoCDR Make sure no CDR is saved for a specific call
- * ResetCDR Reset CDR
- * ForkCDR Save current CDR and start a new CDR for this call
- * Authenticate Authenticates and sets the account code
- * SetCDRUserField Set CDR user field
- * AppendCDRUserField Append data to CDR User field
-
-For more information, use the "show application" command.
-You can set default account codes and AMA flags for devices in
-channel configuration files, like sip.conf, iax.conf etc.
-
-
-Fields of the CDR in Asterisk
------------------------------
-
- 1. accountcode: What account number to use, (string, 20 characters)
- 2. src: Caller*ID number (string, 80 characters)
- 3. dst: Destination extension (string, 80 characters)
- 4. dcontext: Destination context (string, 80 characters)
- 5. clid: Caller*ID with text (80 characters)
- 6. channel: Channel used (80 characters)
- 7. dstchannel: Destination channel if appropriate (80 characters)
- 8. lastapp: Last application if appropriate (80 characters)
- 9. lastdata: Last application data (arguments) (80 characters)
- 10. start: Start of call (date/time)
- 11. answer: Answer of call (date/time)
- 12. end: End of call (date/time)
- 13. duration: Total time in system, in seconds (integer), from dial to hangup
- 14. billsec: Total time call is up, in seconds (integer), from answer to hangup
- 15. disposition: What happened to the call: ANSWERED, NO ANSWER, BUSY
- 16. amaflags: What flags to use: DOCUMENTATION, BILL, IGNORE etc,
- specified on a per channel basis like accountcode.
- 17. user field: A user-defined field, maximum 255 characters
-
-In some cases, uniqueid is appended:
-
- * uniqueid: Unique Channel Identifier (32 characters)
- This needs to be enabled in the source code at compile time
-
-
-NOTE: If you use IAX2 channels for your calls, and allow 'full' transfers
-(not media-only transfers), then when the calls is transferred the server
-in the middle will no longer be involved in the signaling path, and thus
-will not generate accurate CDRs for that call. If you can, use media-only
-transfers with IAX2 to avoid this problem, or turn off transfers completely
-(although this can result in a media latency increase since the media packets
-have to traverse the middle server(s) in the call).
-
-____________________________________
-CDR Variables
-------------------------------------
-
-If the channel has a cdr, that cdr record has its own set of variables which
-can be accessed just like channel variables. The following builtin variables
-are available.
-
-${CDR(clid)} Caller ID
-${CDR(src)} Source
-${CDR(dst)} Destination
-${CDR(dcontext)} Destination context
-${CDR(channel)} Channel name
-${CDR(dstchannel)} Destination channel
-${CDR(lastapp)} Last app executed
-${CDR(lastdata)} Last app's arguments
-${CDR(start)} Time the call started.
-${CDR(answer)} Time the call was answered.
-${CDR(end)} Time the call ended.
-${CDR(duration)} Duration of the call.
-${CDR(billsec)} Duration of the call once it was answered.
-${CDR(disposition)} ANSWERED, NO ANSWER, BUSY
-${CDR(amaflags)} DOCUMENTATION, BILL, IGNORE etc
-${CDR(accountcode)} The channel's account code.
-${CDR(uniqueid)} The channel's unique id.
-${CDR(userfield)} The channels uses specified field.
-
-In addition, you can set your own extra variables by using Set(CDR(name)=value).
-These variables can be output into a text-format CDR by using the cdr_custom
-CDR driver; see the cdr_custom.conf.sample file in the configs directory for
-an example of how to do this.
