Question

Is it possible to tell asterisk to store cdr records into different tables? I’d preferably like to do it based on the account code field.

I could do a script to do this periodically but I wondered if there was a better way

Answer 1

Yes, this is doable. You didn’t specify a CDR backend, and not all CDR backends are capable of this – but this is possible in cdr_adaptive_odbc.

You would set up a separate context for each table that you want to store a CDR record in, then use a filter to match on columns. Any CDR record that does not explicitly match a filter gets discarded. Note that the filters do support negation using the ‘!’ character.

For example, say we have accountcode foo and accountcode bar – to be stored in tables cdr_foo and cdr_bar. We could set this up as follows:

[cdr_foo]
connection=pgsql1
table=cdr_foo
filter accountcode => foo

[cdr_bar]
connection=pgsql1
table=cdr_bar
filter accountcode => bar
