[asterisk-users] How to get TCP access to CDR Master.csv

[Klaverstyn, David C]

I’m no expert in this field bit I would have though logging the calls to MySQL and then queering the MySQL database would be the best not to mention the easiest way to get the details you are looking for.

Hello,

I am not sure if I totally understand the question but if your looking to stream the connection you could create a simple bash script like this


#!/bin/bash
while true; do
     tail -f /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv | nc -p 1024 -l
done

There probably is a better solution then this, but this will get you going

From any machine you should be able to type `telnet ip.of.machine 1024`

Hi.

 

I‘d like to get access to the CDR‘s generated by Asterisk (1.4) in real-time from a remote connection coming in on TCP. Basically what I have is a Windows application that is used to process incoming, outgoing and missed call records putting them into a database for some analysing etc. This app can connect to a TCP server and read from this connection the CDR‘s as they  are coming in (being generated).

 

I can‘t find this as a „feature“ of the standard Asterisk... but maybe I‘m missing something? The closest I could get is something around the manager api but it‘s not really what I‘m after. I‘d like to access the CDR‘s them selves.

 

Being a (more or less) novice Linux user the only thing I can think of is trying to do this using Perl scripts where it would set up a listening socket and when connection is received it would do something like (in princip, not managed to do this properly yet):

 

...

print $connection `tail –f /var/log/asterisk/cdr-custom/Master.csv`

...

 

But even this is full of issues to solve. Things like only one connection at a time (which I can live with) from the remote computer. The fact that tail will not write to the socket (yeah, a major issue probably) which I‘m thinking of trying to solve by reading line by line somehow and writing back to the socket... not even sure if this is possible.

 

So basically I‘m hoping someone has a nice solution for this. With or witout scripting, external programs of some sort (runnin ubuntu 7.04 or 6.06) or whatever works. I‘d really appreciate your input here.

 

Sincerely, Baldvin
