[asterisk-users] Monitor and SIP transfers (SIP REFER)

[Gunnar Schaller]

> The problem in this particular case is that the actual monitor object is on A's 
> channel. When A is no longer involved in the call, the monitor is gone, and so 
> the call cannot be recorded further. One possible solution is to run the Monitor 
> application on B's channel instead. This can be done by using the M option in 
> the Dial application. The M option allows you to run a macro on the *called* 
> channel's party when he answers. If you start the Monitor application from this 
> macro, you should find that things will work as you expect.

> Note that the issue you linked was about MixMonitor, not Monitor. They are 
> completely different beasts when it comes to how they operate. In fact, 
> MixMonitor recordings can be set to survive a transfer if you are using Asterisk 
> 1.4.23 and make use of the AUDIOHOOK_INHERIT function. For more information on 
> its use, you can issue the command "core show function AUDIOHOOK_INHERIT" from 
> the Asterisk CLI.
