Asterisk configuration

For this to work you do need to have cdr_csv.so loaded. show modules or module show entered at the CLI will tell you if it has been loaded. If not: Type load cdr_csv.so in the CLI. You'll also want to add that load command to /etc/asterisk/modules.conf if Asterisk didn't automatically include this module at startup.

You also need to edit cdr.conf. The file is located in the /etc/asterisk/ directory.

[general]

; Define whether or not to use CDR logging.  Setting this to "no" will override
; any loading of backend CDR modules.  Default is "yes".
enable=yes
