[asterisk-users] Asterisk PBX causes mysql to take more CPU time

2009-09-04 Thread MURALI V
Hi All,


  I am using asterisk-1.4.22 with mysql as my storage medium for voice
messages.Right now i am running 700+ extensions with this setup .

*System Configuration:*

asterisk-1.4.22.1
(using odbc storage for voice messages)

unixODBC-2.2.11-7.1
mysql-connector-odbc-3.51.12-2.2
mysql-server-5.0.45-7.el5
CentOS-5.2 (64 bit)


*The following are the issues i am facing:*

  1) CPU time always shows 30%-90% for mysql when asterisk is running .
The CPU time goes normal for mysql  when asterisk is stopped.

  2) calls are getting dropped suddenly.

  3) Some answered calls does not hear anything at the
receiver/initiater end.

  4) asterisk itself gets crashed at times

  5) Core dumps are getting created.

Is there any optimizations or configurations needs to be done on my server
in order to drill down this issue?

Please help me out in troubleshooting this issue, This problems are getting
worsen day by day.

Thanks in advance.

Obviously the MySQL CPU time droppes to near zero if the only process 
who uses it stops! Check what kind of queries asterisk is making and if 
that can be optimized.
 
  2) calls are getting dropped suddenly.
 
  3) Some answered calls does not hear anything at the 
receiver/initiater end.
 
  4) asterisk itself gets crashed at times
 
  5) Core dumps are getting created.
Follow the guidelines for obtaining a backtrace with GDB. These can be 
found in the file asterisk/doc/backtrace.txt


Look in http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk%20debugging

If you learn to read the backtrace, you can know with great detail what 
is causing asterisk to crash. You may run into known bugs, so you can 
check the bugtracker and/or the recent versions Changelog to see if it's 
solved. Maybe you'll have to decide to upgrade it or not, or upgrade in 
a separate machine and test throughoutly before putting the new version 
into production.

 From a provider's point of view running Asterisk on the ec2 cloud does
 pose some interesting questions. As a quick and dirty estimate if you
 assume one of the standard small ec2 instances could cope with 100
 simultaneous g711 calls (I don't know if that is the case just
 guessing) then you'll chew up approx. 2MB/s (you pay for bandwidth
 both ways). Assuming that you'd then have 1MB/s average to account for
 quite and busy call times then it would be 3.6GB/hour or 86.4GB/day.
 At the Amazon price of $0.10/GB that's $8.64/day or $260/month. The
 server instance will cost you $72/month so total cost for 100/calls
 per month is $332.
 
 A typical dedicated server for $300/month is roughly equivalent to an
 ec2 small instance and comes with 500GB of bandwidth/month which is
 only a fifth of what's required but you could probably get the extra
 2TB/month thrown in for $32/month making the dedicated server and ec2
 prices the same.

Another option, especially for lighter loads, is a virtual server
instance. There are many providers who will provide you a Xen guest for
e.g. 20$ or 30$ a month. For a lighter load this should be more than
enough. Those normally come with a dedicated IP address. Support plans
vary greatly from one provider to another.

Very cool, you've piqued my interest.  Since I haven't launched an 
instance before, where's the best place to learn to do that?  What's the 
approximate monthly cost of hosting an Asterisk PBX on EC2?

With ec2 you could scale up and down between 1 server and 4 servers at
the drop of a hat to save costs and cope with peak and quite times,
with dedicated servers you're stuff with 12 or 24 month contracts for
the number of servers you'd need under maximum load. And then of
course the major factor for both is what the call quality will be
like.

And I'm sure there will be someone somewhere who has a better deal as
well. Whenever hosting gets mentioned in tech forums you always end up
with lots of opinions (or pitches depending on how well they are
disguised).

My post was more in the vein of ballpark figures to compare the
technincal merits of a grid approach, in this case manifested by
Amazon's ec2, to a dedicated server approach for running a VoIP
provider service using Asterisk. It's probably already gone off the
OP's original topic enough now that they'll be people jumping up and
down that this should be on the Biz list...

[asterisk-users] Asterisk PBX '' '||' Grandstream GXP-2000 problem

2007-01-15 Thread J. Espinal

Hi People,

   We use the Grandstream GXP-2000 phones, firmware 1.1.1.14, Asterisk 
PBX, Slackware Linux 10.2, loaded on a Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.66GHz 
Box... The issues that we are experiencing involves our Telephone 
Operator's/Receptionist whom answer multiple incoming calls... As an 
example.., when they answer line 1 and Line 2 starts to ring they would 
ask the person on line 1 to hold and proceed to answer line 2 and 
forward line 2 to to the requested extension. The problem is when they 
attempt to pick line 1 off the hold in order to handle that call, line 
1 is either dropped or the Grandstream Phone freezes and the user is 
forced to rest the phone. The situation persist whenever there are 
multiple lines active with incoming calls and upon answering one, 
placing the line on hold and attempting to answer the other lines active 
calls will be dropped the the phone just hangs/freezes. We know that the 
call is dropped because the people call back complaining about being 
hung up on We have had our dedicated T1 (for voice only) tested 
several times and it is good. We have had the Asterisk PBX completely 
redone and gone over thoroughly and are at the point where we are 
suspecting the configuration file for the Grandstream GXP-2000 Telephone 
as the culprit. We would like to know what suggestions anyone out there 
might have if any... Thanks,

Are you using G.729? Last I heard, grandstreams could only have one call via
G.729 at a time. It had something to do with the licensing that they used, I
think. Just a thought...

   Besides I found that using packages with asterisk on debian can do odd
  
   things to your custom sound files if you do a remove.
  
  Regarding the sounds files: I don't think that the way Asterisk
  installer handles them is very optimal either.
  
  Your message got me thinking, though. I believe that Debian is right
  installing all sounds to /usr/share/asterisk/sounds . But
  /var/lib/asterisk/sounds (/usr/local/asterisk/sounds? ) should still be
  kept for custom sounds that are never touched by the package. 
  
  I figure that file.c:build_filename could be changed to do the
  following:
  
if exists /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/filename
  return /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/filename
else if exists /usr/share/sounds/asterisk/filename
  return /usr/share/sounds/asterisk/filename
  
  What do you think? I figure I'll try to push this into Debian first.
  (If this is indeed a good idea)
 
 Using /var works, but setting it in asterisk could be a pain when it
 comes to voicemail prompts.  Plus, extensions.conf would need to grow
 and become a little cluttered.  Unless of course, one could do something
 to specify a new root voicemail path, and if the file is not found it
 plays from the default.

You missed the point: you still keep the same configuration. filename
should first be looked for in the custom directory and only afterwards
in /usr/share/sounds/asterisk/sounds .

voicemail/ is currently (in Debian) a symlink from the sounds directory

What file exactly did you edit? What command did you run? I suspect the

I'm not sure you need. Packages from

already have ztdummy and ztdummy is on by default in the zaptel-source

Why bother with packages anyhow?  I just installed debian base and did a

Besides I found that using packages with asterisk on debian can do odd
things to your custom sound files if you do a remove.

Short answer is because we live by rules.

Any good linux distro follows standards regarding the proper location of 
files. /usr/local /opt and /var/lib would be more appropriate for 
locally added sounds.


This is good reading for people new to linux. Maybe you always wondered 
why there is a /bin, /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin? This will enlighten you:

I would make a custom package in that case, for easy updating.  Depends

Using /var works, but setting it in asterisk could be a pain when it
comes to voicemail prompts.  Plus, extensions.conf would need to grow
and become a little cluttered.  Unless of course, one could do something
to specify a new root voicemail path, and if the file is not found it
plays from the default.

Hi Kapil,
AFAIK, there are no such PDF's that exist unless someone has really spent 
time compiling such information, which will be great to see.


However, if you check out www.voip-info.org, its a complete mine of useful

Go to asteriskathome.sourceforge.net and download [EMAIL PROTECTED] Be  
*VERY*** *VERY* *VERY* careful with the CD  
you burn, though, as when booted it will erase your hard drive and  
install CentOS ***WITHOUT WARNING


Other than that, it is a very good way to replace a PBX for an office  
of that size. Of course, you will need to select phones, server  
hardware, PSTN interconnect hardware, etc. as well. Considering how  
important phones are to the average business, you might want to  
consider hiring a consultant (might I recommend cough cough me?)  
to help get you up to speed. It's just a thought, but getting help  
from someone who has already done this might keep you from making a  
few expensive mistakes (ie: buying equipment that is over/ 
underpowered, unreliable, low quality, etc.)

[Asterisk-Users] asterisk PBX and Siemens Hipath 3750

2005-07-12 Thread Varun Pabrai
Hello
   I am planning to build a small PBX using
TDM22B.

We have a Siemens Hipath 3750 in operation
already.

When I manage to complete my PBX using TDM22B
I would ofcourse like to be able to connect my Asterisks PBX
with the Siemens Hipath 3750 PBX.

Will there be any issues regarding my plan ?
Or is there any other issues that I need to take
into account vis-a-vis Siemens PBX.

I have never done all this before so I would
appreciate any inputs.

Thanks in advance

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX with X100P in India

I'm currently trying to set up an Asterisk PBX system in India.
However I'm having trouble configuring the X100P to dial out on the
POTS line.  Does anyone have any knowledge about this?

I know the telephone system is a bit different in India, so would the
X100P not be suitable?  Is there a change I need to make in the
Zaptel.conf or zapata.conf?

Because I'm using [EMAIL PROTECTED] 0.6, the extensions.conf is also

2005-04-15 Thread Min Hwan Chang
My Setup is below:
X100P connected to POTS
Siemens IP Phone
[EMAIL PROTECTED] v0.6

When I try dialing out the POTS line in India using a Siemens IP
phone, I'll hear the phone ring for a second, then hear loud beeps.
The loud beeps I believe are from the POTS line?

I am currently trying to dial a Cell phone number within India, so the
general format is 09X.

I have my extensions.conf set up like so for Outbound Context:

--
[outbound-local]
exten = _X,1,Macro(dialout-default,09${EXTEN})

[outbound-ld]
exten = _001NXXNXX,1,Macro(dialout-default,${EXTEN})

-
For the life of me I can't' seem to figure out what the problem is.
Thanks for the help!

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk Pbx Manager Equivalent

2005-01-05 Thread Paul Brock








http://www.thirdlane.com/screenshots.htm
(Asterisk PBX Manager from Thirdlane) looks like a 

great program for eye candy configuration of
Asterisk.



However it costs lost of $, and Im currently only an experimenter
so to speak.



Anyone advice of a decent alternative that is similar??
Currently, we only have VOIP connections, 

but will have a couple of Digium fxs/fxos soon to
have a play with, so would be advantageous if it 

worked with these too



Finally, Anyone know of a Digium hardware Reseller in the Uk at all?? 



Thx

It costs $300  , and the license is tied to the NIC.
While it wont do EVERYTHING, it will probably be sufficient for the user
to set up extensions/phones/menus/voicemail/conferences. One thing that I
am not happy with, is that it allows raw editing of the conf files. Gawd

I emailed Third lane, and they replied staright away with an address where

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX and backup Circuits

2004-08-26 Thread Rich Adamson
 I am interested to know how one would calculate the amount of PSTN
 connection needed for backup on an Asterisk PBX that is being setup to
 receive its DIDs via a VoIP provide.  To sum up what I am
 implementing:  I am porting my DIDs to a VoIP provide so I will need a
 back up plan in place if the Data network fails.  In addition, 911
 will always be going out the PSTN so I know I need at least one POTs
 circuit.  Calls inbound and outbound will always routed through the
 data network.

In telco terms, you probably need to do a small Traffic Study; analyze
the existing traffic for maximum number of simultanous calls, etc.

If this is an existing business with an existing pbx, there are likely
some usage statistics available within the pbx. If that's not available,
some telephone companies will do the traffic study for you (don't
need to tell them why your doing it, but rather to determine the
number of telco lines needed for the business.) If that's not possible,
ask the telco to provide you with a list of all calls with detail
and run through the list to calculate the maximum number of
simultanous calls.

If this is a new installation with absolutely no history, your only
option is to guess at the maximum.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Functions via SIP phone

2004-08-20 Thread James Freire
Hi All,

I am using a Grandstream BT100 and I have been trying to get the PBX features to work 
for DND, call foward, etc. These functions do work when I use my POTS phones hooked up 
to my Zap cards. But I cannot get the PBX functions (ie *78, *79) to work using my SIP 
phones. Is there a feature that has to be enabled to do this? I know these functions 
are available within the GS phone but all of them seem to just show the phone as being 
busy, even though, say, call foward is supposed to foward. It just makes the phone 
busy. I figure it would be easier just to have asterisk handling all those PBX 
functions.

Thanks,

James

'cancallforward=yes' to each extension in sip.conf you would like to add
this feature to as in :-

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you'll need the dialplan for
this one...

What I envision is doing something like this...

[verticalservice]

exten = *78,1,DbGet(${dnd}=features/dnd)
exten = *78,2,DbPut(features/dnd=1)
exten = *78,3,Playback(pbx-dndenabled)
exten = *78,4,Hangup()
exten = *78,102,GotoIf($[${dnd} = '0')]?103:104)
exteh = *78,103,DbPut(features/dnd=1)
exten = *78,104,Playback(pbx-dndenabled)
exten = *78,105,Hangup()

exten = *79 ... etc...


Then in your extension calling macro, you're going to want to check against
the DB like this...

[macro-insidedial]

exten = s,1,DbGet(${dnd}=features/dnd)
exten = s,2,DbGet(${fw}=features/fw)
exten = s,3,Dial(${ARG1},25,tT)
exten = s,4,VoiceMail(u${ARG1})
exten = s,5,Hangup()
exten = s,102,GotoIf($[${dnd} = '1']?200:2)
exten = s,103,GotoIf($[${fw} = '1']?300:3)
exten = s,104,VoiceMail(b${ARG1})

exten = s,200,VoiceMail(b${ARG1})
exten = s,201,Hangup()

exten = s,300,Dial(SIP/[EMAIL PROTECTED],60)
exten = s,301,Congestion()

be sure to include [verticalservice] in your inside-office context...

Hi Craig, 
Thank you very much for the helpful information. I did enable that setting and it 
seems to have worked but not all the way.  I do a *72 for an unconditional call 
forward + the number to forward to. Then when I dial the grandstream that has it 
enabled, asterisk just reponds that the extension is busy, the BT does not foward the 
call. I also get the following on the CLI

  -- Executing Dial(Zap/8-1, SIP/2000|20) in new stack
-- Called 2000
-- Got SIP response 302 Moved Temporarily back from 64.201.13.50

  I am using a Grandstream BT100 and I have been trying to get the PBX
 features to work for DND, call foward, etc. These functions do work when I
 use my POTS phones hooked up to my Zap cards. But I cannot get the PBX
 functions (ie *78, *79) to work using my SIP phones. Is there a feature that
 has to be enabled to do this? I know these functions are available within
 the GS phone but all of them seem to just show the phone as being busy, even

 Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe you'll need the dialplan for
 this one...
 
 What I envision is doing something like this...
 
 [verticalservice]
 
 exten = *78,1,DbGet(${dnd}=features/dnd)
 exten = *78,2,DbPut(features/dnd=1)
 exten = *78,3,Playback(pbx-dndenabled)
 exten = *78,4,Hangup()
 exten = *78,102,GotoIf($[${dnd} = '0')]?103:104)
 exteh = *78,103,DbPut(features/dnd=1)
 exten = *78,104,Playback(pbx-dndenabled)
 exten = *78,105,Hangup()
 
 exten = *79 ... etc...

Wouldn't you need to track each extension? something like:
exten = *78,1,DbGet(${dnd}=dnd/${CALLERIDNUM})
exten = *78,2,DbPut(dnd/${CALLERIDNUM}=1)
exten = *78,3,Playback(pbx-dndenabled)
exten = *78,4,Hangup()
etc.?

Yep! good catch! that's why I asked someone to correct me, I was in a hurry
and this was an on-the-fly kind of example...

You would need to do something like this, or make a key like
features/dnd-${CALLERIDNUM} would be best... Would also work for
forwarding...

I don't know digium's long range plans, but looking through chan_sip.c NONE
of the vertical service codes are mentioned anywhere... A quick look through
chan_zap reveals all of them... So for right now it's not implemented in

Well, here we stumble over the SIP religion again.
First, a phone connected to an RJ11 jack in a Digium card is a stupid phone. All
the intelligence lies in the zaptel driver and asterisk.
Most SIP phones are more clever (at least expected to be much more clever than
the GS :-).
Look at the SIPURA, where you are able to implement vertical service codes
in the SIPura. Asterisk should not bother with DND and forwards, the SIP phone
does. Just send the call to the phone. Some of these phones are complete
Linux systems with IPsec, multiple lines and a lot of routing intelligence.
There's also a discussion between Asterisk developers on whether these
codes should be fixed in the channel or in the dial plan. At least, they
should be configurable since there's no global standard (again).
Or there may be, but there are still differences between countries
and providers...
* Executive summary: SIP is designed for very intelligent end-points.
* A PBX with analogue lines is designed for central intelligence.
* Asterisk will always be in the middle of these kind of discussions,
  and it'll be fun each time we try to sort it out.

No, I agree completely with the way it works now, in fact I think it
SHOULDN'T be implemented in SIP myself... Doing it in the dialplan (if your
phone doesn't support it) works fine and doesn't break anything (that's the
key right there). We need some more docs on how to do different things and
I'm sure many people could contribute those, myself included... Some already
have...

The only thing is, if any of the apps you've written in your dialplan become
obsoleted or change syntax, your whole implementation will get screwed
over... I guess that's true with anything though...

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Functions via SIP phone

2004-08-20 Thread Craig Guy
Hmm,

Asterisk is certainly recognising the call forward.  I had this error when I
first tried it and resolved by adding the 'cancallforward=yes' in the
sip.conf for that extension.  I think you may actually have to restart
asterisk to enable these functions rather than reload?  I am also running
the August 8 CVS head rather than the 'stable' version of Asterisk and my
grandstream firmware is 1.0.5.10.

Hi Craig,
Thank you very much for the helpful information. I did enable that setting
and it seems to have worked but not all the way.  I do a *72 for an
unconditional call forward + the number to forward to. Then when I dial the
grandstream that has it enabled, asterisk just reponds that the extension is
busy, the BT does not foward the call. I also get the following on the CLI

  -- Executing Dial(Zap/8-1, SIP/2000|20) in new stack
-- Called 2000
-- Got SIP response 302 Moved Temporarily back from 64.201.13.50

Hi James,

This is a feature that needs to be enabled on both the phones and on
Asterisk.  So after enabling on your BT100 you need to add
'cancallforward=yes' to each extension in sip.conf you would like to add
this feature to as in :-

[9500]
context=internal
type=friend
username=9500

disallow=all

Sorry, there are no analog softmodem drivers yet. I have been living in
isdn land for too long and forgot about the analog modems. There are 
indeed drivers for ppp over isdn direct but no softmodem for analog calls.

We have solved this by routing those calls to our old pbx (over an E1 
PRI) from which a couple of BRI:s go to isdn modems with analog 
capabilities.

So, you should be able to hook up your old PRI equipment to Asterisk, i.e.

 PSTN  -PRI-  Asterisk  -PRI-  Old_equipment
 \
  ---lan--- sip stuff

This is sort of what we are doing. As far as I can tell the digital 
channels are passed transparently from one pri to the other once a call is 
set up. We can do both analog termination and direct isdn connections.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk, PBX, VoIP and PRI

Hi everyone, Im new to the list, so I apologize if this is
a trite question. Were an ISP with a barely
used PRI, and also currently use asterisk with POTS service on an audiocodes gateway.
We have a notion that we want to take on a new revenue stream, with our
model being as such:



1) Convert one
of our PRIs into a two way voice/data bundle.

2) Plug this
PRI into a piece of equipment (AS5300?) which can terminate both PPP, *AND* feed our Asterisk system. Wed transfer our POTS service over to the
PRI and pick up the SIP signaling there.

3) In the
extended model, use this setup to resell VoIP to our
business ISP clients.



Has anyone out there done this? If so, is the AS5300 the right choice? What caveats will I face?

He's (presumably) talking about PPP over a 56k modem, not PPP to a ISDN 
BRI.  Asterisk can't do an internal 56k modem, at least not yet.  I 
thought that someone said that you need the AS5350 to do combined voice 
and data, but I might be mistaken.  It's been years since I've dealt 
with dialup.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk -- PBX Do Not Disturb

2004-06-23 Thread Dean Collins
That could explain why it wouldn't work on any of my sip extensions I
tried it on this morning when I first read about it and thought cool the
things you learn.

Is there anyway to make it work on Sip extensions?

Cheers,
Dean

Yes this is where I wanted to use it the most, I use Asterisk as a 
software-only based PBX using SIP and IAX, I have an ATA device on my 
network connected to the PBX but it nor the actual analog phone has a 
DND function. I am hoping to implement an Asterisk-side based DND 
somehow but was wondering where to go from there.

Thanks

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk -- PBX Do Not Disturb

2004-06-23 Thread Michael Graves
Interestingly enough, I just tried this on a SIP extension and it
worked fine...although I did not see a report on the command line as
expected. I used a Polycom IP600 to call an extension which is an
analog phone plugged into one side of a Spiura SPA-2000. Keying *78
into the phone one the SPA generated a pulsing dialtone for 3 seconds
then the dialtone returned to normal. I hungup then dialed that
extension again and was routed directly to voicemail.

I do have an X100p in my * server and zaptel is loaded. However, I
don't use it as my fxo anymore, I just left it there a timing source
for the conferences.

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk -- PBX Do Not Disturb

2004-06-22 Thread Stephen Rosebush
I quote from the wiki on voip-info:
In Asterisk, DND is controlled by dialing:
  *78 to turn *on* Do Not Disturb mode and
  *79 to turn *off* Do Not Disturb mode
How would one implement this?? I've seen dialplans that created these
extensions and you would need to use the Asterisk DB to set the DND
flag on or off.. I am still pretty new and I would like to know how to
implement this and maybe some other 'star' services?
Thanks a bunch guys!

You don't have to put this in the dialplan.  It's one of those low-level
functions in Asterisk (possibly controlled at the driver level-- I'm not
sure about that).  If you have an extension defined, pick up the handset
and dial '*78', you should see on the Asterisk CLI:
Enabled DND on channel whatever
And then if someone tries to call that channel, they'd get handled as if 
the person had the phone off the hook, even if it weren't.  It's that 
simple.  To turn it back off, you use '*79'.

jl
p.s.  I think I actually added that info that you quoted from voip-info. 
 If you think it's unclear, grab an account and reword it!

[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX - RT Integration

2004-04-04 Thread Michael

Greetings,

I had been working on Asterisk (http://asteriskpbx.org) about 2 years ago .

http://www.marko.net/asterisk/archives/0210/0107.html

Last night with the help of Jesse's rt-soap-server.pl (and some prodding) 
I implemented a much cleaner, more repeatable * - RT phone gateway with some notes:

http://megaglobal.net/docs/asterisk/html/rtasterisk.html

Questions or comments appreciated.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Billing

2003-07-02 Thread Scott Stingel
Shepherd-

Having designed one of these in the past (in a higher level voice
environment), I can tell you that this is not a small undertaking.  It's at
least as much an SQL job as a voice task.

Usually the way to accomplish this is to establish more-or-less a pre-paid
phone card system, where the shop prepays an overall amount for
international calling access.  Then you have to time each call as it is
occurring, debiting each account, and the master account, in real-time. This
can be a bit complex when you have 20 or 30 calls going at one time.  You
have to cut them off promptly when the money runs out (big problem).  And
you have to provide call detail and charges to them at the end of each call,
using their own retail tariff.

To add to the complexity, each country has a different tariff from the long
distance carrier, and within the country, major cities often have special
rates per minute.  Mobiles have a different tariff too.  Phone card
platforms usually include a least-cost routing system which chooses a
carrier real time based on the call.  Tariffs change weekly and must be
updated in the system.

Anyway, I'm just scratching the surface!  I'll write more when I can!

Cheers

i think that the problem could be something more easy:

it is possible inside asterisk to log all che calls of all the users
and know the timing and the number called for each call?
if it is possible to do that, could be possible to make a program
that takes this files and generate the costs reading the log
informations...

so for me the real question is: there is a log of all the phone call
that are made by asterisk?

There is a CDR (Call Detail Record) which is accessible in two different
ways. The first is via a simple comma delimited file which can be parsed
and fed into whatever database that you want. The second way is to dump
the CDR directly into MySQL, and extract accordingly. So the only trick
there is to create a database for billing and create a relationship that
will extract from the CDR database.

Re[4]: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Billing

2003-07-02 Thread Angelo Sampietro
thanks a lot!

with all the phone traffic :)

KCC will extract from the CDR database.

KCC i think that the problem could be something more easy:

KCC it is possible inside asterisk to log all che calls of all the users
KCC and know the timing and the number called for each call?
KCC if it is possible to do that, could be possible to make a program
KCC that takes this files and generate the costs reading the log
KCC informations...

KCC so for me the real question is: there is a log of all the phone call
KCC that are made by asterisk?

KCC pre-paid
SS phone card system, where the shop prepays an overall amount for
SS international calling access.  Then you have to time each call as it
KCC is
SS occurring, debiting each account, and the master account, in
KCC real-time. This
SS can be a bit complex when you have 20 or 30 calls going at one time.
KCC You
SS have to cut them off promptly when the money runs out (big problem).
KCC And
SS you have to provide call detail and charges to them at the end of
KCC each call,
SS using their own retail tariff.

SS To add to the complexity, each country has a different tariff from
KCC the long
SS distance carrier, and within the country, major cities often have
KCC special
SS rates per minute.  Mobiles have a different tariff too.  Phone card
SS platforms usually include a least-cost routing system which chooses
KCC a
SS carrier real time based on the call.  Tariffs change weekly and must
KCC be
SS updated in the system.

SS Anyway, I'm just scratching the surface!  I'll write more when I
KCC can!

The mysql schema is available in the doc/cdr_mysql.txt file (from the
asterisk source dir)

 You can find the comma delimited file at /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv or if
 you are looking to do some easy querying on a database, you need to
 create a schema that I am sure someone on the channel has defined

 file to point to the appropriate database and authentication
 information.
