similar to: Monitor application inestability and high load

Hi, I'm having high load, choppy sound and slow responsives with an asterisk server (version 1.2.12.1) that make a peak of 90 channels (around 60 phones calling at max, isn't necessary to reach this peak to get the problem). All the traffic is SIP, with recording for every call. The server has: Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz (with HyperThreading disabled for inestability) 4G RAM 2 DD SCSI

Asterisk Monitor seems to be working fine. Though the problem I am having is the two files (in & out) muxing. I added ,m to the string, yet the call records two files still, and I get the resulting error, at the bottom. monitor executing ( nice -n 19 soxmix /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/rec_fr_1624672199_to_621950_at_01122004-13:4 8:23-in.gsm

Was using this monitor line to get soxmix to mix test-in.wav and test- out.wav into test.wav. exten => 1200,1,Monitor(wav|/tmp/test|m) When I start the conference, the * console shows this: monitor executing ( nice -n 19 soxmix "//tmp/test-in.wav" "//tmp/test- out.wav" "//tmp/test.wav" && rm -f "//tmp/test-"* ) & /tmp shows test-in.wav,

Hello, I have been noticing the following behaviour with the monitor command.. Normally it records to the default location and then uses soxmix to create the correct wav file. But for some reason sometimes it doesn't use /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/.. but //var/spool/asterisk/monitor/.. (notice the 2 // in front!) Here is some logging: monitor executing ( nice -n 19 soxmix

Hi, Monitor and soxmix (m option) work fine in CVS Head, not in Asterisk 1.0.9, as the Wiki says. http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Monitor+setup+sample Anyway I am wondering why asterisk 1.0.9 console shows on Hang up: "monitor executing ( nice -n 19 soxmix "//var/spool/asterisk/monitor/45/47-20050812-113631-in.wav"

I am using the Monitor() application (with soxmix for combining the audios) and the voice connected to the phone network is recorded at a lower volume then the voice connected directory to the Zap analog phone card. How can I get both the audios to be at the same volume on recording? Thanks Jeff -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

Due to management concerns our asterisk system has been setup to record all phone calls for some time now (before the 1.0 release). Everything was working fine until we upgraded 1.0.5 where all calls are recorded except those that pass through a queue (we are not using the queue record functionality because there are some minor issues with using it in our scenario). Specifically, the

Hi, i am looking for a tool to merge the two wav files of a monitored call into one. soxmix does that well but actually merges the two channels. I would prefer a solution that creates a stereo wav file of the two mono files so you have the called party on one (e.g. left) channel and the calling party on the other (e.g. right). I can do this interactivly using audacity but i am looking for a tool

Asterisk SVN-trunk-r7230 built by root @ pbx01.timsnet.com on a i686 running Linux on 2006-06-17 When I used monitor, I seem to get most calls cut off if they run very long. Sometimes two minutes, sometimes 5 or 15.. Seems random. Any ideas what might kill the recording process? I'm beginning to wonder if soxmix is truncating the file when it blends the in/outbound streams together

Hello All, I am using monitor with soxmix, however the quality seems somewhat low after sox converts to mp3. Does anyone know a way to get a higher quality file? Some of my lines are coming in on isdn. Regards, Greg

Hi guys, I'm running Asterisk 1.2.13 on a Debian Linux system (that was just the version that was packaged for it). I've been using monitor() to record calls, with fairly satisfactory results - at least until the last few months. I've been recording VoIP calls, and using monitor() with no arguments, so I'm getting separate wav files for each leg (both use ALAW, BTW), and

I have setup as per the monitor example configuration on the wiki site and all works well for an extension dialing 8 then the number. However, if I dial from an AGI script the recording stops after a few seconds. I see an extra answer in the console and suspect that is the reason. Could any kind soul help me to get around this? Extensions.conf.. exten =>

[apologies for no line wrap; config lines at bottom] I have mentioned on several threads here that the Monitor application doesn't do exactly what one would expect: the originating and answering legs of a call are unsynchronized by the duration of the interval that it takes for the answering leg to pick up the phone. This can be very distracting in a final mixed version of the file. Brian

started messing around with the Monitor cmd for call recording but noticed that the cmd was 'injecting' a small noise every 8 sec or so. looked through the wiki for a flag setting but the 'm' for using soxmix post call is the only one noted. trying to build a call logger that just sits next to another switch and does the recording but if it gives an indication that it is

When I use sox-12.17.5 recording and mixing works fine but removing the -in.wav and -out.wav file doesn't work. When I tried sox-12.17.6 recording doesn't work but removing the IN / OUT wav files is working. Anybody has a similar experience. The command didn't change but it seems to me there is a timing error: The creation time for the file is: Jan 29 15:30 18-20050129-152954-in.wav

Hi all, We're in a transition between OldPhoneSystem and Asterisk. One of the things that's needed to be done right now with OldPhoneSystem is the ability to record calls. I thought "Asterisk can record calls", so I set about to make it happen. And it does, sort of. I made a .call file that rings the exension that I want to have recorded, and barges into the conversation, using

Hi, i want to use soxmix to record some calls in my PBX. If i use soxmix on my linux shell it works so i can mixed two calls into one consolidated call. I want to do the process automatically since extensions.conf but it doesnt work. My extensions.conf looks like this: exten => 407,1,SetVar(MONITORDIR=/var/spool/asterisk/monitor) exten => 407,2,Monitor(wav,${TIMESTAMP}.${CALLERIDNUM}.wav)

Is the path to soxmix in the $PATH environment variable when asterisk starts. If you're running from an init script it may not have path set at that point. When you log in, you set the path variable. Have you tried putting explicit paths into the command in your extensions.conf? IE /usr/bin/soxmix instead of just soxmix. HTH Chris That sorted it, thanks

I am trying to record a call into a stereo mp3 in Asterisk 1.4, but I can't seem to get it to work correct. Could someone point me to what I need to do? I have attached what I believe are the relevant parts.

In 1.6.0, when creating a MDT, you could specify multiple --mgsnode options and it would failover between them. 1.6.3 only seems to take the last one and --mgsnode=192.168.1.252 at o2ib:192.168.1.253 at o2ib doesn''t seem to failover to the other node. Any ideas how to get around this? Robert Robert LeBlanc College of Life Sciences Computer Support Brigham Young University leblanc at
