Trying to configure extra fields in cdrs:

[వెంకటేష్ ఎన్నల]

Hi,

I want to store some custom fields in the cdr which I am feeding, so I am trying to configure like this.

"cdrs": {
        "enabled": true,
        "extra_fields": [ {"BillCode":"billCode"} ],
        "attributes_conns": [ {"address": "127.0.0.1:2012","transport": "*json"}],
},

But the service is not able start saying parsing error. How can I configure this ?

I am using latest mater btw.

Thanks.

Also can I use attributes to work on these fields to modify them based on certain criteria ?

If attributes does not work on these fields ... its there a way I can save some custom field which can be processed by attributes and can be saved in cdr ?

Thanks.

Hello Venkat,

The extra_fields from cdrs is only used for freeswitch and it is a slice of strings not objects.

The ExtraFields are dependent of your cdrs source

Thanks,

Thanks Trail.

Sorry its not making sense to me to allow this good and important feature only to free switch.

Its listed a a configuration parameter in the docs here. So I though this is not tied or dependent on specific pbx.

Shall I raise a feature request to get this available in general to cdrs ?

Also why would cgrates through a parse exception .. is this a bug ? Also probably documentation need to be changed ?

Thanks,

Venkat.

Hello Venkat,

The CGRateS  threw a parse exception only because we expect that extra_fields fields is a list of strings not a list of objects.

For a better understanding of what are you trying to do please specify what you use with CGRateS (freeswitch, kamailio, diameter, radius or httpagent).

Thanks,

Thanks for pointing it out. I saw some examples in the forum and though it was a json for some reason. The service started properly now.

We are using httpagent.

I added a new extra field to the cdrs ..and its not saving the extra field, so I assume it still only works with free switch ?

Thanks,

Venkat.

Hello Venkat,

Here you have a sample for how we configure httpagent:

https://github.com/cgrates/cgrates/blob/master/data/conf/samples/httpagent/

In your case you need to add a new field in request_fields, where you have the request_procesor with *cdrs flag like this:

{"tag": "ExtraFieldTag", "field_id": "ExtraFieldName", "type": "*constant", "value": "ExtraFieldValue"},

After you adding this you will see in your CDR, in extra_fields something like this:

{"ExtraFieldName":"ExtraFieldValue"} 

Thanks,
