[Users] How to get CDR in Openser

[Klaus Darilion]

Hi!

basically openser is call stateless. Thus it generates CDRs for 
transactions.

A normal call will have 3 CDRs:
- the INVITE transaction
- the ACK transaction
- the BYE transaction

you have to correlate the 3 CDRs into a single CDR for billing purposes 
in your billing system.

Note: openser is a proxy, thus the CDRs are not always 100% correct. For 
SIP<-->PSTN calls to have correct CDRs you have to genereate the CDRs on 
the gateway.

Note2: dialog module in openser CVS can export the dialog time. This can 
be used to account the call time in the BYE CDRs (see devel mailing list 
for latest dialog module extensions)

regards
klaus
