asterisk users - Jan 2011 - Saving the monitor file on new file always using Monitor(wav, Record1, m)

Dear List;

For each call (in specific case), I need to do a record and save in a spearated
file, so I am thinking the best thing is to save based on the time.

Monitor(wav,Record1,m)

So, how can I make the file name to be based on the current time (which is
changed always, or based on the some unique paramter (related to the call it
self).

Any advise?

Regards
Bilal

Try using ${UNIQUEID} to get the unique id of the current call. That or
something like CDR(uniqueid). Forget which off the top of my head.
Nic.

Use a combination of ${EPOCH} with a format string and the unique call / 
channel id. 

Example:
 
exten => s,1,Set(MY_TIMEVAR=:${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%d%mNaVH:NaVS)}) 
exten => s,n,Monitor(wav,${MY_TIMEVAR}~${CHANNEL},m)

Read up on the STRFTIME function.

I use something like this in extensions.conf for outgoing calls:

exten => 
_9.,1,Set(REC_DIR_OUT=/shares/phone_calls/${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y-%m-%d)}/outgoing)
exten => _9.,n,Set(REC_FILE_OUT=${STRFTIME(${EPOCH},,%Y-%m-%d %H %M %S)} 
- ${EXTEN:1}.gsm)
exten => _9.,n,System(mkdir -p ${REC_DIR_OUT})
exten => _9.,n,MixMonitor(${REC_DIR_OUT}/${REC_FILE_OUT},b)
exten => _9.,n,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:1}@my_voip_provider)
exten => _9.,n,HangUp()


Sorry for the line breaks. My email client does that. You should keep 
each extension priority on a single line.

This will create one variable for the folder (containing the date today) 
and for the file (containing the time of the call and the number 
dialled) - and then creates the folder and starts MixMonitor with the 
filename as argument. If your setup is larger, you should also add maybe 
the calling extension to the file name - so that you don't have two 
files with the same name - if two extensions try to call the same 
external number at exactly the same time (seems unlikely to me).
