[Asterisk-Users] Back to front logging for calls placed through /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing?

[Iain Stevenson]

That was interesting.  Asterisk creates the first cdr entry when the call 
file is copied to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing:

"","","271536","callout","","Local/271536 at callout-fb25,2","Zap/1-1","Hangup
","","2004-01-25 12:22:54","2004-01-25 12:22:57","2004-01-25 
12:22:57",3,0,"ANSWERED","DOCUMENTATION"

On completion of the call, it generates a second cdr entry:

"","","10","home","","Local/271536 at callout-fb25,1","SIP/cisco-eca4","Dial",
"sip/cisco||tTr","2004-01-25 12:22:57","2004-01-25 12:22:59","2004-01-25 
12:23:14",17,15,"ANSWERED","DOCUMENTATION"

Neither of these entries went into the MySQL backend (via cdr_odbc) so this 
has unfortunately only been partially successful.
