Re: [Asterisk-Users] reverse the selection order of zap channels for outgoing calls

Is it possible, code wise, configuration wise, at all - to reverse the order in which the available zap channels are used for *outgoing* calls?

RE: [Asterisk-Users] CDR for transfered calls
On Tue, 15 Jun 2004, John Todd wrote: Not all Asterisk channel types lose control when they step out of the media stream. SIP devices will notify the proxy server (Asterisk, in our case) that a call has terminated, so even though the media stream never went through the proxy (Asterisk). This is an important distinction between IAX2 and SIP - media and control messages are not tightly linked with SIP as they are with IAX2. Until IAX2 has some type of backwards path notification, there is no method (to my knowledge) that IAX2 can notify the origin servers that the call has been terminated. The only way for any server in the path to know the status of the call (with IAX2) is to not transfer the call away from itself, thus bearing the full load of the media stream and the control channel. I would be happy to learn of other's experiences in managing this issue, as it is quite important (mandatory, really) in any type of managed service environment. If you depend on behavior of an unspecified client your asking for trouble. It would be pretty trivial to get a client to send back this 'Call Completed' message right after a re-invite/native bridge has completed.

I'm interested in hearing success stories in tying things like Asterisk YELLOW and RED alarms and network problems into a central alarm reporting solution. The most common problems that I have found are: 1. Someone unplugs a X100P from the Dmarc and nobody knows until people complain that calls are not coming in. 2. A network span goes down and nobody knows until they can't send or receive calls on that span. Here are some ideas that I have thought about so far: 1. Installing a basic SNMP agent on each Linux box and using a central SNMP manager to monitor each node. This would give notice when a remote node became isolated from the monitoring network. 2. Rolling in Asterisk alarm logs into a syslog server or even as SNMP traps. The manager interface sends events when a channel/span goes into alarm.

My limited experimentation leads me to suspect that there is no queue management at all. I was testing with only a single call file just minutes ago, and the system tried to redial the destination as a retry (60 second interval had been spec'ed), even though the first call was still in progress! I suppose I will have to manage throttling with some kind of completely external process, which is likely to be cumbersome. For the immediate application, and given my current facilities, single threading will be adequate (and necessary), but from what I've seen, even this could be challenging. If I put together anything generally useful, I'll share it. From: Scott Stingel [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi Bill- I've built some load testers for asterisk, using the outgoing call facility. It's been a little while, so you may want to test this yourself, but I recall finding a couple of problems: (a) I don't think it manages queuing very well if there are a limited amount of outbound resources. For example (again, from memory), if you define a group (g9 for example) of two lines for use in outbound calling, it works fine if the number of outbound calls to be made at any moment never exceeds 2. A third call file in this example, will be grabbed by asterisk, but will fail immediately. So I had to create a mechanism in my Perl script to ensure that the outbound calls actually completed - no easy feat since I couldn't tell when that occurs from the perl script too easily. (b) There was a problem dumping more than about 12-15 outbound calls at once in the outgoing directory, even if there were plenty of channels available to make the calls. Asterisk would grab them but would not process some of them. This is a load-testing scenario, and not too common I realise, but something to be aware of. It didn't seem to matter if I switched to a more powerful processor. These problems occurred using a December release of asterisk - maybe they are fixed now?? Please let me know if you are doing any load testing, and I'll send you some simple scripts if you like. The outgoing facility works fine at lower call volumes, if you stagger the creation of the files in the outgoing directory. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users -- Eric Wieling [EMAIL PROTECTED] BTEL Consulting ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I'm afraid that the answer to this, without programming some stuff inside of Asterisk, is uuugly. I suspect it will involve using perl or shell scripts to actually peek inside of the /var/spool/asterisk/vm directories and check things manually, out of a cron job or out of the h context with a System call. Then, a call would be created by the script (see sample.call) - just thinking about this method gives me the willies. The clean way would be to put a tiny call into the voicemail app (or would it be in app.c?) that triggers an outbound call with the appropriate parameters (see sample.call) I was working with someone over the weekend that is working on something like this, and it might even be the same type of system because the DTMF trigger looks similar. The easiest way to do this is with an external daemon that connects to the manager interface. You just need to watch for MessageWaiting events and when you see a change of state trigger an Originate action to dial out and enter the required DTMF.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] h extension seems to wipe variables?
Once the call has hungup the AGI functions stop working, so executing an AGI from an h extension will not do what you expect. but you can still do all kinds of perl stuff there, so you could stick the info in mysql or somewhere else James On Wed, 13 Aug 2003, Alastair Maw wrote: Hi. I'm trying to do some custom call logging, and I want to call an AGI script from a hangup handler to log call durations and things. Although the script executes, it isn't retrieving variables from the AGI interface. Looking closer, I realised the variables are actually getting unset before the h extension is reached. [foo] s,1,SetVar,foo=bar s,2,Play(audio/a-long-prompt) h,1,AGI(log-call-duration.pl) When I do an $agi-get_variable(foo) from the perl, I get the string noresponse returned.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Call Recording
By default the Monitor resource/app uses the channel name as the filename, but you can override the filename base. A good choice of the filename base would be the uniqueid for each channel, fortunately the ${UNIQUEID} channel variable is available. So from extensions.conf you can do Monitor(wav,${UNIQUEID}) to record 'wav'. The uniqueid is available in the cdr struct as well, but it isnt used right now for backwards compatibility. You can edit cdr/cdr_csv.c and uncomment the: /* #define CSV_LOGUNIQUEID 1 */ line to get it to log the uniqueid at the end of each entry.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Enhanced queue app
This might fit in with something I've worked on a bit but haven't had time to complete yet. Basically an in memory CDR modification. So the CDRs would get logged to a linked list and then try all available backends. If a backend returns an error condition then the CDR will be retried again later. So all the CDRs would be stored in memory until they have been logged to every backend available and X seconds have passed. Then there would be some applications + cli commands that would allow all that info to be pulled from the in memory tables. Once we get disconnect reasons in a standard format then that info would be available to applications as well.
