Hi folks,

My v1.6 Asterisk system logs all Call Detail Records to a PostgreSQL
database, including those handled by the Privacy Manager.
Unfortunately, even though I can use the CLI to see the information
being submitted by anonymous callers to satisfy the demands of the the
Privacy Manager, that information is not recorded in the database.
Instead, all that is written to it:

clid: “Privacy Manager”
src: anonymous

Can the number submitted to the Privacy Manager somehow be recorded in
the database, instead of “anonymous”?

Thanks,

Jaap

PS — Currently, the configuration I’m using in the dialplan for the
Privacy Manager looks like this:

exten => jw,1,Verbose( — CID is <${CALLERID(num)}>)
exten => jw,n,GotoIf($[${CALLERID(num)}=anonymous]?true:false)
exten => jw,n(true),Set(CALLERID(num)=)
exten => jw,n(false),NoOp()
exten => jw,n,Verbose( — CID is <${CALLERID(num)}>)
exten => jw,n,PrivacyManager(3,10)
exten => jw,n,GotoIf($[${PRIVACYMGRSTATUS}=FAILED]?bad)
exten => jw,n,Verbose( — CID is <${CALLERID(num)}>)
exten => jw,n,Dial(SIP/1000,60,w)
exten => jw,n(bad),Playback(im-sorry)
exten => jw,n,Playback(vm-goodbye)
exten => jw,n,Hangup()

    Maybe you could do:

    Set(CDR(userfield)=${CALLERID(num)})

    Before dialing SIP/1000

    Quoting Matt Riddell :

    That looks so simple — and it actually works! — although exactly not
    in the way that I was expecting. Instead of replacing the contents of
    one of the existing fields, a new field, “userfield”, appeared at the
    end of the record containing the number submitted by the caller.

    I did try to use the same method to change one of the existing fields,
    e.g. “src”, like this:

    Set(CDR(src)=${CALLERID(num)})

    But, then I received this error:

    [Sep 1 12:26:15] ERROR[12562]: cdr.c:303 ast_cdr_setvar:
    Attempt to set the ‘src’ read-only variable!.

    That doesn’t seem to be possible. So, I’m happy with your solution.

    Thanks, Matt!

    Cheers,

    Jaap
