 ;
-; Syslog mappings for custom CDR logging
-;
-; The cdr_syslog module sends CDR records to syslog
-;
-; XXX: Documentation will be finished before commit.  You should be able to do
-; something like this in /etc/syslog.conf:
-;
-;    local0.info        /var/log/asterisk-cdr.log
-;
-; And uncomment the [cdr-master] section and be good to go.
+; Asterisk Call Detail Records (CDR) - Syslog Backend
 ;
 
+; The cdr_syslog module writes CDRs using the facilities provided by syslog.
+;
+; Not only must you configure cdr_syslog from this file (cdr_syslog.conf) but
+; you will also need to make changes to your /etc/syslog.conf before CDRs will
+; be written to syslog.
+;
+; As an example, you can add the following to /etc/syslog.conf:
+;
+;    local4.info        /var/log/asterisk-cdr.log
+;
+; And then instruct syslogd to re-read the configuration file by sending it a
+; HUP signal.  On Linux this can be done like this:
+;
+;    kill -HUP `cat /var/run/syslogd.pid`
+;
+; Finally, you will need to uncomment the [cdr-simple] section below, and restart
+; Asterisk.  When calls are placed, you should start seeing records appear in
+; /var/log/asterisk-cdr.log.
+
 [general]
-; The syslog 'facility' to use when logging messages.  This can be any of the
-; following:
+; Facility
 ;
-;  auth
-;  authpriv
-;  cron
-;  daemon
-;  ftp
-;  kern
-;  local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6, local7
-;  lpr
-;  mail
-;  news
-;  syslog
-;  user
-;  uucp
+; The 'facility' keyword specifies the syslog facility to use when writing out
+; CDRs.
 ;
-; The default is 'daemon'
+; Accepted values: One of the following:
+;                  user, local0, local1, local2, local3, local4, local5, local6
+;                  and local7.
 ;
+;                  Note: Depending on your platform, the following may also be
+;                        available:
+;                        auth, authpriv, cron, daemon, ftp, kern, lpr, mail,
+;                        news, syslog, and uucp.
+;
+; Default value:   local4
+
 ;facility=local0
 
+; Priority
 ;
-; The priority signifies the importance of the logged message, but we consider
-; these informational (info) messages by default.  We allow customization so
-; that your syslog.conf settings can more easily filter CDR logging. This can be
-; any of the following:
+; Use the 'priority' keyword to select which of the syslog priority levels to
+; use when logging CDRs.
 ;
-;  emerg
-;  alert
-;  crit
-;  error
-;  warning
-;  notice
-;  info
-;  debug
-;
-; The default is 'info'
+; Accepted values: One of the following:
+;                  alert, crit, debug, emerg, err, info, notice, warning
+; Default value:   info
+
 ;priority=warn
 
+; Note: The settings for 'facility' and 'priority' in the [general] section
+;       define the default values for all of the logging locations created
+;       below in separate sections.
+
 ;[cdr-master]
-;facility = local0
-;priority = info
+;facility = local5
+;priority = debug
+
+; Template
+;
+; The 'template' value allows you to specify a custom format for messages
+; written to syslog.  This is similar to how cdr_custom is configured.
+;
+; Allowed values: A diaplan style string.
+; Default value:  None, this is required field.
+;
+; Note: Because of the way substitution is done, the only meaningful values
+;       available when the record is logged are those available via the CDR()
+;       dialplan function.  All other channel variables will be unavailable.
+
 ;template = "${CDR(clid)}","${CDR(src)}","${CDR(dst)}","${CDR(dcontext)}","${CDR(channel)}","${CDR(dstchannel)}","${CDR(lastapp)}","${CDR(lastdata)}","${CDR(start)}","${CDR(answer)}","${CDR(end)}","${CDR(duration)}","${CDR(billsec)}","${CDR(disposition)}","${CDR(amaflags)}","${CDR(accountcode)}","${CDR(uniqueid)}","${CDR(userfield)}"
 
 ;[cdr-simple]
-;template = "${EPOCH}","${CDR(src)}","${CDR(dst)}"
+
+; Since we don't specify a facility or priority for this logging location, the
+; records will use the defaults specified in the [general] section.
+
+;template = "We received a call from ${CDR(src)}"
