Summary:                    [branch] Event Based CDR system -- CEL (channel
Event Logging)
Description: 
This entry is to request a new CDR system based on Single Events.
I call CEL (Channel Event Logging).
It will be based on the Event system of Russell's; instead of generating
CDR records that would be a direct input to a billing system, it will
generate
a series of events that can be linked together into a billing record. It's

a bit lower-level, and has the advantage of the multi-process features of
the
event system, the security of logging events to a DB (or file).

Branch is http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/team/murf/newcdr/

What's done: the CDR backends; event generation (mostly)
What's needed: Processes to gather event strings into billing records.
               More event tracking for transfers, queues, and meetme's.

I really like this model Murf.. I'm suprised there is not more of a
reaction to it.  But i believe it is something that is going to become more
and more vital as the complexity of this system grows and features are
added.  And i think once it is available alot of users will really like the
capabilities.

I was thinking of writing something to use the manager interface to
collect events and build CDRs but a built in CDR engine with this is much
better.

Way to think ahead!

Let me know if there is anything i can do to help.

Would be nice to have a pluggable framework where CDRs writer modules can
extend the framework to allow for easy format modules like CSV, SQL, XML,
Radius, etc down the road.
