Agreed! I like the magic of channel variables showing up in the XML. It has made my life worth living compared to the hellishness of CDRs in Asterisk. -MC ________________________________ From: freeswitch-dev-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-dev-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Anthony Minessale Sent: Monday, June 30, 2008 6:44 AM To: freeswitch-dev@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-dev] FW: [asterisk-users] Asterisk as an IVR That would be possible. The best bet is to first exhaust anything you can't do reasonable with what we currently have and then see what we have left to add. The time stamp on the app log is probably pretty trivial so we can look at adding that. For other stuff, remember that anything you set as a channel variable will magically end up in the CDR so keep that in mind when figuring it out.

If it's possible to store the time of key DTMF received in the XML CDR then that would be awesome. The other thing I was thinking about was the list of apps that get stored in the XML. Is it possible/realistic to have not only the list of applications but also a timestamp for each one? That would allow one to calculate the amount of time spent in things like IVR menus, listening to message playbacks, etc. This kind of feature would allow us to snag all sorts of IVR-builders. Asterisk's handling of this kind of information is pathetic. FS is *way* better for gathering this kind of info.

Hi List
I have build an IVR on Asterisk from 1.2 to now 1.4.18 and has already processed more than 10million calls!
I have one big challenge which is reporting... it is the requirement to have a web reporting module which should the following info based on selected time frame - Number of calls on specific branch- Done - Number of calls to branch 1 that came from branch 2 (this should be flexible) - talktime on specified branch (say how long caller listened to option 1 before choosing option 2 or hangup)
On IVR, it is so important to understand how many callers select a specific branch and how long they spent on that branch. CDR stats can not provide these type of information and on trying freepbx, still can not go so detailed
Dear Kili,
in my opinion this is a good application for Database backends. You could, for example, write entries to a DB whenever someone presses a key (or is re-routed in the dialplan, which comes to a similar scheme). In data mining time some SQL logic can produce nearly any data you want, provided the input data is there.
Millions of calls sounds a lot though, so be sure to have a reasonable database backend: The asterisk included one might be a bit on the small side here.
This is just an idea, I did not implement anything the like (yet).
Asterisk already has this separate database backend: CDR.
