[asterisk-users] CDR stats to one mysql database, multiple webstats packages

[Chris Earle]

Have a number of asterisk servers and want to get some good stats tracking
going (with Asterisk-Stat) -- but this requires cdr logging to mysql, apache
and the stats software running on each server.

Or does it?  Of course, I can either run the stats package on the webserver
and direct it to each individual server's local mysql db --- or have each
asterisk server logging to an external mysql db somewhere.....(on the
webserver I suppose)

Thoughts on this?  Good idea/Bad idea to log to an external source?  One
thing that might be an issue is if for some reason the external source
becomes unreachable or goes offline ...then what happens to the CDR data for
that time period?

Suggestions appreciated
