Enable CDR Logging?

Hello,

I am currently trying to set up CDR logging. I got all the ODBC stuff for my mysql server set up, also checked there’s a connection using “odbc show”
in the Asterisk console:

Name: asterisk


I also created a table for the CDR logs:


This table is also referenced in /etc/asterisk/cdr_adaptive_odbc.conf.

Now, what is the next step?
1) Do I have to call any CDR function in my dialplan for the CDR logging to become really active?
2) Do I have to create more fields in my asterisk_cdr table manually? Guess it should all be done automatically? Would I have needed the ID field at all?

Thanks for any hint :-)


Best regards Stefan

    Thank you Doug, but if I don’t understand things wrong, you are not using adaptive ODBC?

    I meanwhile found out that things work when I manually create the columns. Just wondering, is there any official specifications for the default columns, e.g. which datatype they shall have and so on?

    Also, I am getting this errors:

    As a reference, here is my complete configuration for adaptive odbc:

    No, I’m not.

    It looks like it’s failing to connect. I have had issue in the past, where connecting to a mysql database via 127.0.0.1 would work, where as using localhost would fail. And some times, where neither would work and I had to use the real IP address of the machine.

    Maybe this is one of those cases?

    Have you verified that your odbc setup is working properly for other queries?
