Well, the problem with "show queues" is that it sometimes might lock, and if you have many clients needing the same information, you have to write some kind of proxy, and cache everything, so that there's only one request to Asterisk in specific period. For MySQL you can use all that without worry, plus you get actual data (that was why I wrote all this realtime status stuff). > I don't want you to make the effort of finding that > patch (as it seems you don't have it at hand now) if I > may not "need it". However, I think that your patch > should hit SVN and I wouldn't mind testing it. Ok, after a thought, this part is quite simple - just few lines, so I'll post it right away. I'll leave more complex realtime agent/channel updates for later. So, the issue is http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=12556, feel free to comment about usage. I also posted backport to 1.4.19 at http://ftp.iq-labs.net/realtime_queue_callers-1.4/ but for this You will need to also apply backport for realtime store/destroy - also available at http://ftp.iq-labs.net/realtime_store_destroy-1.4/ Regards, Atis -- Atis Lezdins, VoIP Project Manager / Developer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: atis.lezdins Cell Phone: +371 28806004 Cell Phone: +1 800 7300689 Work phone: +1 800 7502835 ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

I agree. But I did have a strange case at one point. Would like to reduce point of failures anyway, as much as possible. > So, are You interested in applying this patch > yourself? I just wrote a simple AMI script which parses the output of "show queues" and sends relevant data to my custom application via sockets. The only problem is that I need to periodically run the script (cron) so it's rather "inefficient". Maybe I could trigger the script on particular Manager events (such as "run the script which parses 'show queues' only when I receive Agent* events). I don't want you to make the effort of finding that patch (as it seems you don't have it at hand now) if I may not "need it".

So, I suppose if MySQL dies in middle of operation, SELECT should fail and Asterisk should just continue with what it has in memory. Btw, You should be able to also use static or dynamic queue members (not realtime) in combination with realtime queue calls. Btw, I never experienced that MySQL dies, it's more often that Asterisk dies. So, are You interested in applying this patch yourself?

That patch sounds really neat. Hope it gets into * soon. Just a doubt: suppose the mysql daemon dies for some reason. Will the patched app_queue still handle calls and not hang?

I'm not sure that this is what exactly You need, but I have a patch for app_queue that will store and update queue callers (as well as update lots of fields for queue members) in realtime mysql table. This allows to do many requests for current queue state simultenously, and moves load from asterisk to mysql (which can be on separate machine). So, generally to get active callers with all their callerid/channel info You will have to do just "SELECT * FROM queue_callers". It's not very finalized, so I haven't yet posted that to Digium for inclusion in next asterisk versions, but I intend to do that in future. It's been working stable on our production for several months. If You're interested, please reply, and I'll try to separate that patch out from other our patches. Currently I have it updated for 1.4.19, but also have some version for 1.4.14 Regards, Atis -- Atis Lezdins, VoIP Project Manager / Developer, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: atis.lezdins Cell Phone: +371 28806004 Cell Phone: +1 800 7300689 Work phone: +1 800 7502835 ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
