[Asterisk-Users] queueue recording and what to do next

[Anton Krall]

Thank you very much for the tip Matt.

I was wondering, besides recording the queues, I also use mixmonitor on my
dialplans for some extensions, does mixmonitor also use sommix to mix the
call legs are is mixmonitor mixing realtime using inernal asterisk
functions?

I say this because I just to make sure that by replacing sommix I wont brake
anything else.

|Anton,
|
|In "queues.conf" set:
|
|monitor-join=yes
|
|for all queues that you are recording.  This will cause soxmix 
|to be executed at the end of the call in order to join the leg 
|files into a single recording. 
|
|Then backup the soxmix binary and replace it with a script 
|that does whatever you want with the leg files.  Your script 
|will be passed 3 arguments (see "show application monitor" at 
|the CLI for more details):
|
|1) The "-in" leg filename.
|2) The "-out" leg filename.
|3) A target mixed filename.
|
|Odds are that you'll only care about the first two arguments.  
|Here is the script that I use to move the leg files from a RAM 
|disk over an NFS mount to a remote machine which handles 
|mixing and archiving the recordings:
|
|[root at immlx15 ~]# cat /usr/bin/soxmix
|#!/bin/bash
|
|/bin/nice -n 19 mv --target-directory=/digrec-nfs/ $1 $2 if [ 
|$? -ne 0 ]; then
|        echo "Failed to mv '$3'" >> /var/log/asterisk/mvdr_log
|        exit 1
|fi
|
|exit 0
|
|As you can see, I'm using the third argument to log any failed moves.  
|So far there haven't been any.
|
|There is another option besides replacing soxmix with a custom 
|program.  
|You can use the dialplan variables "MONITOR_EXEC" and 
|"MONITOR_EXEC_ARGS" to tell Monitor() to use another program 
|to mix the leg files.  I have found this method to be 
|unreliable.  Roughly 1% of the time, Monitor() was not calling 
|the program defined by "MONITOR_EXEC".  Replacing soxmix has 
|worked for me 100% of the time (we handle 10,000 - 13,000 
|recordings a day), so I recommend it as the preferred solution.
