[asterisk-users] Asterisk PBX causes mysql to take more CPU time
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. -- always withsmile vimurli ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2009 - October 13 - 15 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

The CPU time goes normal for mysql when asterisk is stopped. 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. Cheers, -- Ing.

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.

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.

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

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?

Hi everyone. I've installed Asterisk PBX using apt packages, but i don't have actually any Digium card, so i want to use ztdummy. I've tried to modify the Makefiles in the debian source package, i don't get any error, but still the ztdummy module doesn't get compiled.

I have this, it comes as a webmin module. I also got it with the intention of bundling it for clients. 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 help us if a user gets into that lot. I emailed Third lane, and they replied staright away with an address where I could download an evaluation. I'd publish the url here, but there must be a reason why they don't show it on their web site. Oh, and by the way (this from a beginner), I found it by searching on the WIKI Clive ___ 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
Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX and backup Circuits
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 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] Asterisk PBX Functions via SIP phone
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.

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

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.

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?

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

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Billing
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 Scott Stingel Scott M. Stingel Emerging Voice Technology Inc.

Re[2]: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Billing
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?

That's all I would need, it would be easy enough to work out the cost after that. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Angelo Sampietro Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 10:06 AM To: Scott Stingel Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re[2]: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Billing 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?

RE: Re[2]: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk PBX Billing
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. Kim C.
