Hi.

I am using two servers in my configuration: one for phones registration and another one as gateway, where all the providers are connected. Both are connected through an IAX trunk. I am having some trouble on matching both CDR’s, since durations for a call are not always the same in both servers, start/end date time are sometimes also different, etc.

Is there any way to send the uniqueid of the original call, maybe through the IAX trunk, and get it on the gateway server to save it in the final CDR’s userfield? That way they would match by that field.

Thank you in advance.

  • Check out the “uniqueid” parameter in cdr.conf and cdr_adaptive_odbc.conf.

  • Hi,

    We use sip headers to send the linkedid across servers, and place it into CDR as remoteLinkedId

  • I had that same issue but I use SIP not IAX. What I ended up doing was adding a SIP CALL ID field in custom_cdr module and setting it in the dialplan.
