[Asterisk-Dev] How does Asterisk choose the CDr backend to use?

[Heison Chak]

Hi David,

	For future reference, please direct these type of questions 
to asterisk-users. By default, CDR will be logged to master.csv (the 
local file); if you want to disable it, you need to have: 

;modules.conf
noload => cdr_csv.so 

	If you want CDR in PostgreSQL, you need to have:

;cdr_pgsql.conf
[global]
hostname=databasehost
port=5432
dbname=asterisk
password=password
user=asterisk
table=cdr

	Likewise for MySQL. Alternately, you can use ODBC, look for 
cdr_odbc.conf.sample in /usr/src/asterisk/samples
