> Currently, the documentation of the 'unanswered' option is lacking in {{cdr.conf}}, and conflicts with itself:
> {quote}
> ; 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.
> ;
> ; In brief, this option controls the reporting of unanswered calls which only have an A
> ; party. Calls which get offered to an outgoing line, but are unanswered, are still
> ; logged, and that is the intended behaviour. (It also results in some B side CDRs being
> ; output, as they have the B side channel as their source channel, and no destination
> ; channel.)
> ;unanswered = no
> {quote}
> The first paragraph is wrong, the second needs to be explained better.
> On the 12 spec wiki, there is a dead link to a "This is what Unanswered" means. That section needs to be updated.
