Python Script to Extract Call Record from Cisco CDR
Python Script to Extract Call Record from Cisco CDR
There is a python script written by Steve Campbell which extracts Call Detailed Record (CDR) for an extension using Python Script. Extraction of the record is quite simple and faster. The only drawback i see at this time is it can run the script against one extension only at a time which means you can search only one extension number in the whole CDR Report.
The script will pull out Data/Time, Duration, Calling Number and Called Number from raw CDR Report.
Procedure:
- To start using the Python Script, you need to have Python installed in your PC. You can download python from official website (“https://www.python.org/downloads/“).
- Once the software is downloaded, you need to install the application in your PC.
- Download Python Script from https://github.com/sdcampbell/PyCDR site and copy the files from the folder PyCDR-master to Python Directory.
To Find Python Directory, follow either of the below steps:
OPTION 1
“C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\”(Replace USERNAME with your actual Username of Windows Machine)
OPTION 2
Click on Start Menu
Type Python in the Search Program and File box
Right Click on Python 3.6 (32 bit) or (64 bit) and click on Open file location
A window will open; click on the address bar and copy the location from the address bar - Also download CDR Raw Data from Cisco Unified Communications Manager and copy it in the python directory as shown in the above step
- Now open Command Prompt and execute the command
C:\> CD C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-32\
OR
C:\> CD(Paste the location from the address bar as shown in the option 2)
——————————————————–
C:\….\Python36-32> python.exe PyCDR.py “CDR Raw Report.txt” “Output.csv” 10000 >>> Execute this command
Once the command is executed, you will see a file “Output.csv” in the same folder that would have the CDR Records inside the fil
Sample Output
Hope this helps!

Hello,
What’s the version of python in this example?
I downloaded python-3.6.1-amd64.exe but failed like this:
”
C:\>C:\Users\Kyle\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe PyCDR.py “CDR Raw Report.txt” “Output.csv” 1005
C:\Users\Kyle\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\python.exe: can’t open file ‘PyCDR.py’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
”
Hope to hear you soon.
Hello Kyle,
I am using Python version 3.6.0 in the example. To make your python work, i would request you to follow the below steps:
Click on Start Button
Type Python in the box “Search Program and Files”
You would see something “Python 3.6 (32 bit)” or “Python 3.6 (64 bit)”. Right click and click on “Open file Location”. You would see a window opened where python executive file is stored and that is your python location.
I have modified the post for more ease and convenient. Please check and let me know if this works.
