Well, I could not find any solution in ser. We have pinless calling card applications and we wanted the same for terminating wholesale traffic. As you read Acc db cant be used to reliable billing purpose. Some can correct me if I am wrong.
Finally we ended up using asterisk (opensource Free) and a2billign for billing purpose. Ofcourse we had to customize that according to our need. You can find plenty of information on net for integrating asterisk and ser. Once you learn little bit then post you question and here and we will be able to help you out.

Hello Friends ...
Jai, Thanks for showing a pointer towards teh acc module...

but i really cudn't grasp even a bit out of it... all it says is about logs being dumped, with specific data like \:

The fixed minimal accouting information is:


Request Method name

From header TAG parameter

To header TAG parameter

Call-Id

3-digit Status code from final reply

Reason phrase from final reply


Time stamp when transaction was completed

  • There is no session/dialog accounting (yet)-- OpenSER maintains no sessions. If one needs to correlate INVITEs with BYEs for generating proper CDRs for example for purpose of billing, then it is better done in the entity which collects accounting information.
  • If a UA fails in middle of conversation, a proxy will never learn it. In general, a better practice is to account from an end-device (such as PSTN gateway), which best knows about call status (including media status and PSTN status in case of the gateway).


Now, my requirement is to generate a CDR for billing purpose...  In syslog there are not any logs present, and even if i get the logs there.. using changes in config file, how do i use this raw information to generated CDRz for billing purposes???

I have searched for quite a few tools online which work on the output of SER to generate CDR or for CDR collection... but I need a free software, they are all paid services... Can someone help me where should i go further..? I'm lost ... :(

Thanks a lot!

Re: [Serusers] CDRz?







acc module can be used to all CDRs. But I found that useless for billing purpose.
