It is a simple thing to store CDRs in CSV format. This recipe describes the steps necessary to store call records in plain-text CSV files.

<settings>
    <!-- 'cdr-csv' will always be appended to log-base -->

    <!--<param name="debug" value="true"/>-->
    <param name="rotate-on-hup" value="true"/>
    <!-- may be a b or ab -->
    <param name="legs" value="a"/>
