1. Enable CDR manager output
Sign in to your Asterisk server over SSH. Back up the configuration before making changes, and confirm these settings with your PBX administrator.
In /etc/asterisk/cdr_manager.conf, change enabled = no to:
[general]
enabled = yes
2. Configure the PBXDom connection
In /etc/asterisk/manager.conf, add a separate [pbxdom] section after the existing [admin] section:
[pbxdom]
secret = REPLACE_WITH_SECRET
read = cdr,agent
write = command,cdr
Replace the password placeholder with a strong, unique secret. Restrict access to the collector host; do not expose the manager interface to the public internet. Have your administrator review permissions and schedule any required PBX restart to avoid interrupting calls.
3. Add the system in PBXDom
Under your registered collector, add a PBX with these settings. Use the same secret you configured above.
