cdr.conf

The cdr.conf file is used to enable call detail record logging to a flat file or a database.
Storing call records is useful for all sorts of purposes including billing, fraud prevention,
QoS evaluations, and more. The cdr.conf file contains some general parameters that
are not specific to any particular database, but rather indicate how Asterisk should
handle the passing of information to the database. All options are under the
[general] heading of the cdr.conf file:

enable
Accepts the arguments yes and no. Specifies whether or not to use CDR logging. If
set to no, this will override any CDR module explicitly loaded. The default is yes.
batch
Accepts the arguments yes and no. Allows Asterisk to write data to a buffer instead
of writing to the database at the end of every call, to reduce load on the system.

Note that if the system dies unexpectedly when this option is set
to yes, data loss may occur.
