[asterisk-users] Log CODECS in CDR's

[Morgan Gilroy]

Thanks for the pointers, I know about the Set(CDR..) function but I need
the codec that was negotiated in the Dial (once I have that its easy to
stick it into the cdrs as you pointed out).
Ie a call comes in as G729 Dial then negotiates GSM for the outbound
leg,
I want to log both these codecs in a CDR.

At the moment to find the codecs used I have to look though the sip
trace or show channels/show channel (annoying when you have 50+
channels).
Im just trying to find an easier and quicker way to keep track of the
codecs used to help with debug etc.

The closest variable iv found is, "${SIP_CODEC} Set the SIP codec for a
call"
Ill see if NoOp (${SIP_CODEC}) shows the codec that was used without me
setting it though I don't think it will.

Iv looked all over and I cant find anything so it looks like I may have
to hack a ast_set_var into app_dial or chan_sip

morgan,
I've seen some info on additional variables in the CDR... but haven't 
tried it... look to these pages:
daveC

http://www.asterisk.org/doxygen/1.2/AstCDR.html

In addition, you can set your own extra variables by using
Set(CDR(name)=value).
These variables can be output into a text-format CDR by using the
cdr_custom
CDR driver; see the cdr_custom.conf.sample file in the configs directory
for
an example of how to do this.
