CDR-Stats version 2 released after a long period of development and testing. CDR-Stats is a free and open source multi-tenant call data analysis and reporting system with live statistics and threat reporting. This latest version has been rebuilt to be scalable, handle millions of CDR and provide reports and searches quickly and efficiently. CDR-Stats may be considered for: – Telcos to analyse their own CDR – Displaying call data to their customers – Centralising call data from multiple PBX’s – Department heads to view their subordinate’s calls – Detecting & reporting suspicious call patterns Features include: MongoDB: Built on MongoDB, a scalable database system with many enterprise features, capable of handling massive quantities of data efficiently. Flexible Deployment: CDR-Stats can be deployed on the same hardware as the telephony server or on a separate server with multiple telephony systems feeding call data to CDR-Stats. Single & Multi-server Architecture: Can be scaled from reporting on a single PBX’s call data to a large telco running a farm of telephony servers. Custom Alarms: automated triggers to fire notifications when unusual call activity is detected which may indicate fraud. Realtime Reporting: Number of calls in progress are reported in realtime with historical concurrent calls reports for supported platforms. (Asterisk / Freeswitch) Extensibility: Connectors can be developed to allow both proprietary and open-source telecoms systems to deliver call data into CDR-Stats (contact us for more details) Simple Install: CDR-Stats has extensive documentation and automated installation scripts with support from the CDR-Stats community. Professionally Supported: Installation, support, training and software development services are available from Star2billing. Contact us for more details.... by Areski Belaid | May 24, 2012 | Blog

Hi Everyone, We’ve got some great news news for you! A new version of CDR-Stats is coming soon and it’s a full rewrite of our previous software. Our team have been very busy during the last few months as we wanted to give to CDR-Stats the design it deserves. CDR-Stats is used by hundreds of users in the Asterisk community, it answered a need and certainly a lot of people were very happy with it, but we found it was weak in some aspects. Some of the limitations were : Flexibility, the design of the software didn’t allow us to support many switches easily, so even if we wanted to support FreeSWITCH, our current design was not the most appropriate. Scalability, CDR is simple data but once you try to analyse it, you quickly find the limitations of the database engine. Building in realtime and complex reporting became an almost impossible task. High Availability, nobody want to lose their data and especially not if the data is used for billing purposes. Solutions are available but it’s not cheap or easy to build replication into MySQL. Realtime reporting is a feature a lot of people were asking for, to see exactly what was happening on their switches. The good news is, a solution is coming… and it’s coming very soon, so stay tuned!... by Areski Belaid | Jun 11, 2010 | Blog
