Hello Friends ... Jai, Thanks for showing a pointer towards teh acc module...
but i really cudn't grasp even a bit out of it... all it says is about logs being dumped, with specific data like :
The fixed minimal accouting information is:
Request Method name
From header TAG parameter
To header TAG parameter
Call-Id
3-digit Status code from final reply
Reason phrase from final reply
Time stamp when transaction was completed
There is no session/dialog accounting (yet)-- OpenSER maintains no sessions. If one needs to correlate INVITEs with BYEs for generating proper CDRs for example for purpose of billing, then it is better done in the entity which collects accounting information. If a UA fails in middle of conversation, a proxy will never learn it. In general, a better practice is to account from an end-device (such as PSTN gateway), which best knows about call status (including media status and PSTN status in case of the gateway).
Now, my requirement is to generate a CDR for billing purpose... In syslog there are not any logs present, and even if i get the logs there.. using changes in config file, how do i use this raw information to generated CDRz for billing purposes???
I have searched for quite a few tools online which work on the output of SER to generate CDR or for CDR collection... but I need a free software, they are all paid services... Can someone help me where should i go further..? I'm lost ... :(
Thanks a lot! Parminder Nayyar

acc module can be used to all CDRs. But I found that useless for billing purpose.

Hi
Can you please elaborate a bit on this? Does it mean i need to compile my acc module with mysql ie acc_mysql just like acc_syslog????
Also, when I try using the syslog.... as per the instructions in the article : http://openser.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/tutorials:debug-syslog-messages it says i need to add this line: # log messages with LOG_LOCAL0 in /var/log/ser.log local0.* -/var/log/ser.log ...
to the syslog.conf file placed in /etc/syslog.conf
But, when i insert that line, error is displayed, about not being supported...
Dont know what all issue is it about...
Can anyone help?

acc module write call records to Mysql
Invite, ack , bye
with this you can generate CDR wrting small scripts, or install serweb to check that records.

Hi
First thing is do not cross post on both SER and OpenSER, both are different.
yes you need to edit Makefile and exclude the mysql to happend acc to work the Mysql
Look at onsip.org some examples already posted

Hi ram
I made the relevant changes in makefile, and compiled the module as well. Now the logs are coming in the acc table and the missed calls table as well ...
But about using the syslog.... I am facing a major problem while changing the syslog.conf file: local0.* -/var/log/ser.log
It gives an error related to it not being supported Can anyone help?

Well, I could not find any solution in ser. We have pinless calling card applications and we wanted the same for terminating wholesale traffic. As you read Acc db cant be used to reliable billing purpose. Some can correct me if I am wrong. Finally we ended up using asterisk (opensource Free) and a2billign for billing purpose. Ofcourse we had to customize that according to our need. You can find plenty of information on net for integrating asterisk and ser. Once you learn little bit then post you question and here and we will be able to help you out.
