Hello Harald,
I went to go file the bug, and realized that I had made an error! I was
looking quickly through several manuals at the same time, and was searching
the GGSN VTY reference by accident.
Ron,
The details on the CDR configuration options for the SGSN are available as
expected in the SGSN's VTY reference manual
Cheers,
-Matt J.

It's been a few months since I've worked
with the osmocom CDR's, but from
memory I think what you're looking for is the cdr configuration option.
In osmocom, "log" refers to the logs of
the actual programs (think
what you would see in syslog).
this is correct.
I've only ever used cdr's in the SGSN to
track data
usage for billing, but I believe you can get the same information on the
circuit switched side of the world too.
Unfortunately we don't have any CDR generation in OsmoMSC. This reasons
are twofold:
a) this is an "enterprise" feature, i.e. nothing that you'd need for
research/lab type use, and hence nothing that anyone would likely
volunteer to do in their spare time. The SGSN CDR was developed
under funding from a specific enterprise user who had a related
requirement.
b) most networks don't end at the MSC but they actually have some kind
of other (soft)switch infrastructure behind the MSC, and hence the
voice call related logs can be obtained there. This doesn't apply
to the same degree for SMS, though.
although suspiciously the cdr config options are
not listed under the
SGSN vty reference anymore.
This is definitely not how it's supposed to be. Would you mind opening a
new issue about this in the OsmoSGSN issue tracker at
https://osmocom.org/projects/osmosgsn/issues ? Thanks!
