Merge the new Channel Event Logging (CEL) subsystem.
CEL is the new system for logging channel events. This was inspired after facing many problems trying to represent what is possible to happen to a call in Asterisk using CDR records. For more information on CEL, see the built in HTML or PDF documentation generated from the files in doc/tex/. Many thanks to Steve Murphy (murf) and Brian Degenhardt (bmd) for their hard work developing this code. Also, thanks to Matt Nicholson (mnicholson) and Sean Bright (seanbright) for their assistance in the final push to get this code ready for Asterisk trunk.

+\section{Storage Backends}
+
+Right now, the CEL package will support CSV, Customized CSV, ODBC, PGSQL, TDS,
+Sqlite3, and Radius back ends. See the doc/celdriver.tex file
+for how to use these back ends.
+
+\subsection{Microsoft SQL Server}
+
+ Asterisk can currently store Channel Events into an MSSQL database in
+ two different ways: cel\_odbc or cel\_tds
+
+ Channel Event Records can be stored using unixODBC (which requires
+ the FreeTDS package) [cel\_odbc] or directly by using just the
+ FreeTDS package [cel\_tds] The following provide some
+ examples known to get asterisk working with mssql.
+
+ NOTE: Only choose one db connector.
+
+\subsubsection{ODBC using cel\_odbc}
+ Compile, configure, and install the latest unixODBC package:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ tar -zxvf unixODBC-2.2.9.tar.gz &&
+ cd unixODBC-2.2.9 &&
+ ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --prefix=/usr --disable-gui &&
+ make &&
+ make install
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ Compile, configure, and install the latest FreeTDS package:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ tar -zxvf freetds-0.62.4.tar.gz &&
+ cd freetds-0.62.4 &&
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-tdsver=7.0 \
+ --with-unixodbc=/usr/lib &&
+ make && make install
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ Compile, or recompile, asterisk so that it will now add support
+ for cel\_odbc.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ make clean && ./configure --with-odbc &&
+ make update &&
+ make &&
+ make install
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ Setup odbc configuration files. These are working examples
+ from my system. You will need to modify for your setup.
+ You are not required to store usernames or passwords here.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ /etc/odbcinst.ini
+ [FreeTDS]
+ Description = FreeTDS ODBC driver for MSSQL
+ Driver = /usr/lib/libtdsodbc.so
+ Setup = /usr/lib/libtdsS.so
+ FileUsage = 1
+
+ /etc/odbc.ini
+ [MSSQL-asterisk]
+ description = Asterisk ODBC for MSSQL
+ driver = FreeTDS
+ server = 192.168.1.25
+ port = 1433
+ database = voipdb
+ tds_version = 7.0
+ language = us_english
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ Only install one database connector. Do not confuse asterisk
+ by using both ODBC (cel\_odbc) and FreeTDS (cel\_tds).
+ This command will erase the contents of cel\_tds.conf
+\begin{verbatim}
+ [ -f /etc/asterisk/cel_tds.conf ] > /etc/asterisk/cel_tds.conf
+\end{verbatim}
+ NOTE: unixODBC requires the freeTDS package, but asterisk does
+ not call freeTDS directly.
+
+ Now set up cel\_odbc configuration files. These are working samples
+ from my system. You will need to modify for your setup. Define
+ your usernames and passwords here, secure file as well.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ /etc/asterisk/cel_odbc.conf
+ [global]
+ dsn=MSSQL-asterisk
+ username=voipdbuser
+ password=voipdbpass
+ loguniqueid=yes
+\end{verbatim}
+ And finally, create the 'cel' table in your mssql database.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ CREATE TABLE cel (
+ [eventtype] [varchar] (30) NOT NULL ,
+ [eventtime] [datetime] NOT NULL ,
+ [cidname] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [cidnum] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [cidani] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [cidrdnis] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [ciddnid] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [exten] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [context] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [channame] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [appname] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [appdata] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [amaflags] [int] NOT NULL ,
+ [accountcode] [varchar] (20) NOT NULL ,
+ [uniqueid] [varchar] (32) NOT NULL ,
+ [peer] [varchar] (80) NOT NULL ,
+ [userfield] [varchar] (255) NOT NULL
+ )
+\end{verbatim}
+ Start asterisk in verbose mode, you should see that asterisk
+ logs a connection to the database and will now record every
+ desired channel event at the moment it occurs.
+
+\subsubsection{FreeTDS, using cel\_tds}
+ Compile, configure, and install the latest FreeTDS package:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ tar -zxvf freetds-0.62.4.tar.gz &&
+ cd freetds-0.62.4 &&
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-tdsver=7.0
+ make &&
+ make install
+\end{verbatim}
+ Compile, or recompile, asterisk so that it will now add support
+ for cel\_tds.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ make clean && ./configure --with-tds &&
+ make update &&
+ make &&
+ make install
+\end{verbatim}
+ Only install one database connector. Do not confuse asterisk
+ by using both ODBC (cel\_odbc) and FreeTDS (cel\_tds).
+ This command will erase the contents of cel\_odbc.conf
+\begin{verbatim}
+ [ -f /etc/asterisk/cel_odbc.conf ] > /etc/asterisk/cel_odbc.conf
+\end{verbatim}
+ Setup cel\_tds configuration files. These are working samples
+ from my system. You will need to modify for your setup. Define
+ your usernames and passwords here, secure file as well.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ /etc/asterisk/cel_tds.conf
+ [global]
+ hostname=192.168.1.25
+ port=1433
+ dbname=voipdb
+ user=voipdbuser
+ password=voipdpass
+ charset=BIG5
+\end{verbatim}
+ And finally, create the 'cel' table in your mssql database.
+\begin{verbatim}
+ CREATE TABLE cel (
+ [eventtype] [varchar] (30) NULL ,
+ [eventtime] [datetime] NULL ,
+ [cidname] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [cidnum] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [cidani] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [cidrdnis] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [ciddnid] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [exten] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [context] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [channame] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [appname] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [appdata] [varchar] (80) NULL ,
+ [amaflags] [varchar] (16) NULL ,
+ [accountcode] [varchar] (20) NULL ,
+ [uniqueid] [varchar] (32) NULL ,
+ [userfield] [varchar] (255) NULL ,
+ [peer] [varchar] (80) NULL
+ )
+\end{verbatim}
+ Start asterisk in verbose mode, you should see that asterisk
+ logs a connection to the database and will now record every
+ call to the database when it's complete.
+
+
+\subsection{MySQL}
+
+Using MySQL for Channel Event records is supported by using ODBC and the cel\_odbc module.
+
+\subsection{PostreSQL}
+ If you want to go directly to postgresql database, and have the cel\_pgsql.so
+ compiled you can use the following sample setup.
+ On Debian, before compiling asterisk, just install libpqxx-dev.
+ Other distros will likely have a similiar package.
+
+ Once you have the compile done,
+ copy the sample cel\_pgsql.conf file or create your own.
+
+ Here is a sample:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ /etc/asterisk/cel_pgsql.conf
+ ; Sample Asterisk config file for CEL logging to PostgresSQL
+ [global]
+ hostname=localhost
+ port=5432
+ dbname=asterisk
+ password=password
+ user=postgres
+ table=cel
+\end{verbatim}
+ Now create a table in postgresql for your cels
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ CREATE TABLE cel (
+ eventtype varchar (30) NOT NULL ,
+ eventtime time NOT NULL ,
+ cidname varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ cidnum varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ cidani varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ cidrdnis varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ ciddnis varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ exten varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ context varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ channame varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ appname varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ appdata varchar (80) NOT NULL ,
+ amaflags int NOT NULL ,
+ accountcode varchar (20) NOT NULL ,
+ uniqueid varchar (32) NOT NULL ,
+ userfield varchar (255) NOT NULL ,
+ peer varchar (80) NOT NULL
+ );
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection{SQLite 3}
+
+SQLite version 3 is supported in cel\_sqlite3\_custom.
+
+\subsection{RADIUS}
+

+
+\subsubsection{Installation of the Radiusclient library}
+ Installation:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ Download the sources from:
+
+ http://developer.berlios.de/projects/radiusclient-ng/
+
+ Untar the source tarball.
+ root@localhost:/usr/local/src# tar xvfz radiusclient-ng-0.5.5.1.tar.gz
+
+ Compile and install the library.
+ root@localhost:/usr/local/src# cd radiusclient-ng-0.5.5.1
+ root@localhost:/usr/local/src/radiusclient-ng-0.5.5.1# ./configure
+ root@localhost:/usr/local/src/radiusclient-ng-0.5.5.1# make
+ root@localhost:/usr/local/src/radiusclient-ng-0.5.5.1# make install
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsubsection{Configuration of the Radiusclient library}
+
+ By default all the configuration files of the radiusclient library will
+ be in /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng directory.
+
+ File "radiusclient.conf"
+ Open the file and find lines containing the following:
+
+ authserver localhost
+
+ This is the hostname or IP address of the RADIUS server used for
+ authentication. You will have to change this unless the server is
+ running on the same host as your Asterisk PBX.
+
+ acctserver localhost
+ This is the hostname or IP address of the RADIUS server used for
+ accounting. You will have to change this unless the server is running
+ on the same host as your Asterisk PBX.
+
+ File "servers"
+
+ RADIUS protocol uses simple access control mechanism based on shared
+ secrets that allows RADIUS servers to limit access from RADIUS clients.
+
+ A RADIUS server is configured with a secret string and only RADIUS
+ clients that have the same secret will be accepted.
+
+ You need to configure a shared secret for each server you have
+ configured in radiusclient.conf file in the previous step. The shared
+ secrets are stored in /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/servers file.
+
+ Each line contains hostname of a RADIUS server and shared secret
+ used in communication with that server. The two values are separated
+ by white spaces. Configure shared secrets for every RADIUS server you
+ are going to use.
+
+ File "dictionary"
+
+ Asterisk uses some attributes that are not included in the
+ dictionary of radiusclient library, therefore it is necessary to add
+ them. A file called dictionary.digium (kept in the contrib dir)
+ was created to list all new attributes used by Asterisk.
+ Add to the end of the main dictionary file
+ /usr/local/etc/radiusclient-ng/dictionary
+ the line:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ \$INCLUDE /path/to/dictionary.digium
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsubsection{Install FreeRADIUS Server (Version 1.1.1)}
+
+ Download sources tarball from:
+
+ http://freeradius.org/
+
+ Untar, configure, build, and install the server:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ root@localhost:/usr/local/src# tar xvfz freeradius-1.1.1.tar.gz
+ root@localhost:/usr/local/src# cd freeradius-1.1.1
+ root@localhost"/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.1.1# ./configure
+ root@localhost"/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.1.1# make
+ root@localhost"/usr/local/src/freeradius-1.1.1# make install
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ All the configuration files of FreeRADIUS server will be in
+ /usr/local/etc/raddb directory.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Configuration of the FreeRADIUS Server}
+
+ There are several files that have to be modified to configure the
+ RADIUS server. These are presented next.
+
+ File "clients.conf"
+
+ File /usr/local/etc/raddb/clients.conf contains description of
+ RADIUS clients that are allowed to use the server. For each of the
+ clients you need to specify its hostname or IP address and also a
+ shared secret. The shared secret must be the same string you configured
+ in radiusclient library.
+
+ Example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ client myhost {
+ secret = mysecret
+ shortname = foo
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+ This fragment allows access from RADIUS clients on "myhost" if they use
+ "mysecret" as the shared secret.
+ The file already contains an entry for localhost (127.0.0.1), so if you
+ are running the RADIUS server on the same host as your Asterisk server,
+ then modify the existing entry instead, replacing the default password.
+
+ File "dictionary"
+
+ Note : as of version 1.1.2, the dictionary.digium file ships with FreeRADIUS.
+ The following procedure brings the dictionary.digium file to previous versions
+ of FreeRADIUS.
+
+ File /usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary contains the dictionary of
+ FreeRADIUS server. You have to add the same dictionary file
+ (dictionary.digium), which you added to the dictionary of radiusclient-ng
+ library. You can include it into the main file, adding the following line at the
+ end of file '/usr/local/etc/raddb/dictionary':
+
+ \$INCLUDE /path/to/dictionary.digium
+
+ That will include the same new attribute definitions that are used
+ in radiusclient-ng library so the client and server will understand each
+ other.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Asterisk Accounting Configuration}
+
+ Compilation and installation:
+
+ The module will be compiled as long as the radiusclient-ng
+ library has been detected on your system.
+
+ By default FreeRADIUS server will log all accounting requests into
+ /usr/local/var/log/radius/radacct directory in form of plain text files.
+ The server will create one file for each hostname in the directory. The
+ following example shows how the log files look like.
+
+ Asterisk now generates Call Detail Records. See /include/asterisk/cel.h
+ for all the fields which are recorded. By default, records in comma
+ separated values will be created in /var/log/asterisk/cel-csv.
+
+ The configuration file for cel\_radius.so module is :
+
+ /etc/asterisk/cel.conf
+ This is where you can set CEL related parameters as well as the path to
+ the radiusclient-ng library configuration file.
+
+
+\subsubsection{Logged Values}
+\begin{verbatim}
+ "Asterisk-Acc-Code", The account name of detail records
+ "Asterisk-CidName",
+ "Asterisk-CidNum",
+ "Asterisk-Cidani",
+ "Asterisk-Cidrdnis",
+ "Asterisk-Ciddnid",
+ "Asterisk-Exten",
+ "Asterisk-Context", The destination context
+ "Asterisk-Channame", The channel name
+ "Asterisk-Appname", Last application run on the channel
+ "Asterisk-App-Data", Argument to the last channel
+ "Asterisk-Event-Time",
+ "Asterisk-Event-Type",
+ "Asterisk-AMA-Flags", DOCUMENTATION, BILL, IGNORE etc, specified on
+ a per channel basis like accountcode.
+ "Asterisk-Unique-ID", Unique call identifier
+ "Asterisk-User-Field" User field set via SetCELUserField
+ "Asterisk-Peer" Name of the Peer for 2-channel events (like bridge)
+
+\end{verbatim}
