CDR Archive Server

• Note: This feature is on version 4.5+

Fusionpbx has the ability to access CDR records on a seperate archive database. This is helpful for longterm CDR storage while keeping your active database small. When the feature is enabled you will see an “ARCHIVE” button in CDR page that accesses records on your archive database.

The first step is to install an archive database. This can be done by standing up another fusionpbx server or by setting up a postgres server. If postgres is installed by itself you will need to manage the indexes, tables names and column names manually on the archive server. They need to match the values on the live database.

Once you get your archive database setup and can access both databases in both directions (live <-> archive), you will need a mechanism to move the CDR Records from the live database to the archive database. In this example I have a complete fusionpbx install on the archive server. That way I can use the fusionpbx web gui to explore the records and use the Upgrade feature to keep the table & column names in sync.

Move the Records

Create a shell script to copy the records.

touch /etc/cron.daily/db_copy.sh

chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/db_copy.sh

nano /etc/cron.daily/db_copy.sh

#!/bin/sh

#copy the data from the fusion db to a local csv file
psql --host=x.x.x --username=fusionpbx -c "\copy (SELECT * FROM v_domains) TO '/tmp/domains.csv' WITH CSV"
psql --host=x.x.x --username=fusionpbx -c "\copy (SELECT * FROM v_fax_logs) TO '/tmp/fax_logs.csv' WITH CSV"
psql --host=x.x.x --username=fusionpbx -c "\copy (SELECT * FROM v_xml_cdr) TO '/tmp/xml_cdr.csv' WITH CSV"
psql --host=x.x.x --username=fusionpbx -c "\copy (SELECT * FROM v_conference_sessions) TO '/tmp/conference_sessions.csv' WITH CSV"
psql --host=x.x.x --username=fusionpbx -c "\copy (SELECT * FROM v_conference_session_details) TO '/tmp/conference_session_details.csv' WITH CSV"

#Insert the data into the cdr server
# - create a temp tables
# - copy the csv data to the temp tables
# - insert data from the temp table to the real tables
# - delete the temp tables
# - remove the json data from the cdrs. too much space
psql --host=x.x.x.x --username=fusionpbx << EOF

CREATE TEMP TABLE tmp_domains AS SELECT * FROM v_domains WITH NO DATA;
CREATE TEMP TABLE tmp_fax_logs AS SELECT * FROM v_fax_logs WITH NO DATA;

INSERT INTO v_domains SELECT DISTINCT ON (domain_uuid) * FROM tmp_domains ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;

DROP TABLE tmp_domains;
DROP TABLE tmp_fax_logs;
DROP TABLE tmp_xml_cdr;
DROP TABLE tmp_conference_sessions;
DROP TABLE tmp_conference_session_details;

UPDATE v_xml_cdr SET json = NULL;

EOF

#remove the csv files
rm /tmp/domains.csv
rm /tmp/fax_logs.csv
rm /tmp/xml_cdr.csv
rm /tmp/conference_sessions.csv
rm /tmp/conference_session_details.csv

Add to cron

crontab -e

15 0 * * * bash /etc/cron.daily/db_copy.sh

• Note: In this example I remove the json data from the records. You will need to comment out the “SET json = NULL” line if you want to keep the call variables.
