+; Asterisk Call Detail Record engine configuration
+;
+; CDR is Call Detail Record, which provides logging services via a variety of
+; pluggable backend modules. Detailed call information can be recorded to
+; databases, files, etc. Useful for billing, fraud prevention, compliance with
+; Sarbanes-Oxley aka The Enron Act, QOS evaluations, and more.
+;
+
+[general]
+
+; Define whether or not to use CDR logging. Setting this to "no" will override
+; any loading of backend CDR modules. Default is "yes".
+;enable=yes
+
+; Define whether or not to log unanswered calls. Setting this to "yes" will
+; report every attempt to ring a phone in dialing attempts, when it was not
+; answered. For example, if you try to dial 3 extensions, and this option is "yes",
+; you will get 3 CDR's, one for each phone that was rung. Default is "no". Some
+; find this information horribly useless. Others find it very valuable. Note, in "yes"
+; mode, you will see one CDR, with one of the call targets on one side, and the originating
+; channel on the other, and then one CDR for each channel attempted. This may seem
+; redundant, but cannot be helped.
+;unanswered = no
+
+; Define the CDR batch mode, where instead of posting the CDR at the end of
+; every call, the data will be stored in a buffer to help alleviate load on the
+; asterisk server. Default is "no".
+;
+; WARNING WARNING WARNING
+; Use of batch mode may result in data loss after unsafe asterisk termination
+; ie. software crash, power failure, kill -9, etc.
+; WARNING WARNING WARNING
+;
+;batch=no
+
+; Define the maximum number of CDRs to accumulate in the buffer before posting
+; them to the backend engines. 'batch' must be set to 'yes'. Default is 100.
+;size=100
+
+; Define the maximum time to accumulate CDRs in the buffer before posting them
+; to the backend engines. If this time limit is reached, then it will post the
+; records, regardless of the value defined for 'size'. 'batch' must be set to
+; 'yes'. Note that time is in seconds. Default is 300 (5 minutes).
+;time=300
+
+; The CDR engine uses the internal asterisk scheduler to determine when to post
+; records. Posting can either occur inside the scheduler thread, or a new
+; thread can be spawned for the submission of every batch. For small batches,
+; it might be acceptable to just use the scheduler thread, so set this to "yes".
+; For large batches, say anything over size=10, a new thread is recommended, so
+; set this to "no". Default is "no".
+;scheduleronly=no
+
+; When shutting down asterisk, you can block until the CDRs are submitted. If
+; you don't, then data will likely be lost. You can always check the size of
+; the CDR batch buffer with the CLI "cdr status" command. To enable blocking on
+; submission of CDR data during asterisk shutdown, set this to "yes". Default
+; is "yes".
+;safeshutdown=yes
+
+; Normally, CDR's are not closed out until after all extensions are finished
+; executing. By enabling this option, the CDR will be ended before executing
+; the "h" extension so that CDR values such as "end" and "billsec" may be
+; retrieved inside of of this extension.
+;endbeforehexten=no

+;
+; CHOOSING A CDR "BACKEND" (what kind of output to generate)
+;
+; To choose a backend, you have to make sure either the right category is
+; defined in this file, or that the appropriate config file exists, and has the
+; proper definitions in it. If there are any problems, usually, the entry will
+; silently ignored, and you get no output.
+;
+; Also, please note that you can generate CDR records in as many formats as you
+; wish. If you configure 5 different CDR formats, then each event will be logged
+; in 5 different places! In the example config files, all formats are commented
+; out except for the cdr-csv format.
+;
+; Here are all the possible back ends:
+;
+; csv, custom, manager, odbc, pgsql, radius, sqlite, tds
+; (also, mysql is available via the asterisk-addons, due to licensing
+; requirements)
+; (please note, also, that other backends can be created, by creating
+; a new backend module in the source cdr/ directory!)
+;
+; Some of the modules required to provide these backends will not build or install
+; unless some dependency requirements are met. Examples of this are pgsql, odbc,
+; etc. If you are not getting output as you would expect, the first thing to do
+; is to run the command "make menuselect", and check what modules are available,
+; by looking in the "2. Call Detail Recording" option in the main menu. If your
+; backend is marked with XXX, you know that the "configure" command could not find
+; the required libraries for that option.
+;
+; To get CDRs to be logged to the plain-jane /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv
+; file, define the [csv] category in this file. No database necessary. The example
+; config files are set up to provide this kind of output by default.
+;
+; To get custom csv CDR records, make sure the cdr_custom.conf file
+; is present, and contains the proper [mappings] section. The advantage to
+; using this backend, is that you can define which fields to output, and in
+; what order. By default, the example configs are set up to mimic the cdr-csv
+; output. If you don't make any changes to the mappings, you are basically generating
+; the same thing as cdr-csv, but expending more CPU cycles to do so!
+;
+; To get manager events generated, make sure the cdr_manager.conf file exists,
+; and the [general] section is defined, with the single variable 'enabled = yes'.
+;
+; For odbc, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that "make menuselect"
+; shows that the modules are available, and the cdr_odbc.conf file exists, and
+; has a [global] section with the proper variables defined.
+;
+; For pgsql, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that "make menuselect"
+; shows that the modules are available, and the cdr_pgsql.conf file exists, and
+; has a [global] section with the proper variables defined.
+;
+; For logging to radius databases, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that
+; "make menuselect" shows that the modules are available, and the [radius]
+; category is defined in this file, and in that section, make sure the 'radiuscfg'
+; variable is properly pointing to an existing radiusclient.conf file.
+;
+; For logging to sqlite databases, make sure the 'cdr.db' file exists in the log directory,
+; which is usually /var/log/asterisk. Of course, the proper libraries should be available
+; during the 'configure' operation.
+;
+; For tds logging, make sure the proper libraries are available during the 'configure'
+; phase, and that cdr_tds.conf exists and is properly set up with a [global] category.
+;
+; Also, remember, that if you wish to log CDR info to a database, you will have to define
+; a specific table in that databse to make things work! See the doc directory for more details
+; on how to create this table in each database.
