Sorry for the plug, but I'm giving a talk about exactly this at Astricon:

CEL: An Introduction to Asterisk's New Call Logging Mechanism - Brian 
Degenhardt
CEL is an experimental new mechanism for logging calls in asterisk 
targeted at not only identifying that a call occurred, but actually what 
happened in the call. This talk will answer questions about what CEL is, 
what you can do with it, and how to use it.
