I was asked the other day to build a Station Message Detail Recording (SMDR) or Call Detail Record (CDR) processor for a client. I started searching for examples of such a thing. I mostly found commercial apps to handle the job.

What sort of processing do you need? I just record all CDRs in a database, mostly as an easily accessible audit trail.

The idea is to create a SMDR/CDR processor that will work with most main stream PBX systems. Not just Asterisk. NEC, Avaya, Panasonic, etc... Example is, even NEC has a hand full of formats that is outputs the data in. Include/exclude the date column. That sort of thing.

My question: has anybody worked with any type of project that involved capturing/parsing/storing/regurgitating such information?

Asterisk does the capturing/parsing/storing bit for you, but you didn't mention Asterisk, so that may not be of much use.

It is a part of the project in whole, it merely is but one of many different formats. Thanks for the information!
