[Serusers] CDR and Syslog

[Parminder.Nayyar at relianceada.com]

Hi

Can you please elaborate a bit on this?
Does it mean i need to compile my acc module with mysql ie acc_mysql just 
like acc_syslog????

Also, when I try using the syslog....  as per the instructions in the 
article : 
http://openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/tutorials:debug-syslog-messages
it says i need to add this line:  
# log messages with LOG_LOCAL0 in /var/log/ser.log
local0.*                                                 -/var/log/ser.log
...

to the syslog.conf file placed in /etc/syslog.conf

But, when i insert that line, error is displayed, about not being 
supported...

Dont know what all issue is it about...

Can anyone help?

Hello Friends ... 
Jai, Thanks for showing a pointer towards teh acc module... 

but i really cudn't grasp even a bit out of it... all it says is about 
logs being dumped, with specific data like \: 

The fixed minimal accouting information is: 


Request Method name 

>From header TAG parameter 

To header TAG parameter 

Call-Id 

3-digit Status code from final reply 

Reason phrase from final reply 


Time stamp when transaction was completed 

There is no session/dialog accounting (yet)-- OpenSER maintains no 
sessions. If one needs to correlate INVITEs with BYEs for generating 
proper CDRs for example for purpose of billing, then it is better done in 
the entity which collects accounting information. 
If a UA fails in middle of conversation, a proxy will never learn it. In 
general, a better practice is to account from an end-device (such as PSTN 
gateway), which best knows about call status (including media status and 
PSTN status in case of the gateway). 


Now, my requirement is to generate a CDR for billing purpose...  In syslog 
there are not any logs present, and even if i get the logs there.. using 
changes in config file, how do i use this raw information to generated 
CDRz for billing purposes??? 

I have searched for quite a few tools online which work on the output of 
SER to generate CDR or for CDR collection... but I need a free software, 
they are all paid services... Can someone help me where should i go 
further..? I'm lost ... :( 

Thanks a lot!

acc module write call records to Mysql
 
Invite, ack , bye
 
with this you can generate CDR wrting small scripts, or install serweb to 
check that records.
