6.3 Call Data Records

Call data record files are created and stored by Conferencing and allow you to track information about each event. The comma-delimited text file records each event, including meeting times and duration, call connection times, and which clients joined the meetings. This information is useful when determining billing.

The call data records are stored in /var/iic/cdr/calls.elg on the host specified in controller_host in the global-config file for the cluster. The file is rotated daily to /var/iic/cdr/calls+<timestamp>.log. After the call data record of one of the rotated files is exported, you can delete it. You might want to place /var/iic/cdr on a network file system to ease exporting call data records. Otherwise, you can fetch the call data records using tools such as ssh/scp.

The database service outputs the following information:
