### Description Right now, kamailio did not generate the heartbeat events a call. It's very important to have heartbeat event in kamailio so billing solution can be built independent of kamailio.
Heartbeat module can be built separately with having following parameters: modparam("heartbeat","duration",30) // this will describe at what pace heartbeat will get generated for every call. modparam("heartbeat","signature",caller=$dlg_var(caller);callee=$dlg_var(callee);account_id=$dlg_var(account_id)) -- this will tell what data to send. <!-- Explain what you did, what you expected to happen, and what actually happened. -->

#### Log Messages
<!-- Check the syslog file and if there are relevant log messages printed by Kamailio, add them next, or attach to issue, or provide a link to download them (e.g., to a pastebin site). -->

#### SIP Traffic
<!-- If the issue is exposed by processing specific SIP messages, grab them with ngrep or save in a pcap file, then add them next, or attach to issue, or provide a link to download them (e.g., to a pastebin site). -->

I guess this has to be added on top or part of dialog module. This requires also defining how it is going to be sent: what protocol and data format.
An alternative can be that the billing engine is pulling periodically from kamailio via rpc commands. A helper command can be added to fetch dialogs by call-id or internal hash id/label, so only one dialog is returned.
There are now rpc commands to get the call details using various filters. I guess for the moment it offers the foundation for external call controllers/billing systems to be built independently of Kamailio. If someone wants a different approach, just submit a PR.
Closed #1698.
