Asterisk call data records in comma-separated text files

Asterisk call data records (cdr) in comma-separated text files (csv). By default, Asterisk generates CDR records in comma-separated text files in the __/var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv directory. The file Master.csv contains all records. Detail records can be partially configured on a channel basis, and some of the data for IAX and SIP can be determined on the user level. The Zap configuration for CDR records is determined by channel in zaptel.conf

For this to work you do need to have cdr_csv.so loaded. ‘show modules‘ or ‘module show‘ entered at the CLI will tell you if it has been loaded. If not: Type ‘load cdr_csv.so‘ in the CLI. You’ll also want to add that load command to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf if Asterisk didn’t automatically include this module at startup.
