Hi,<div><br></div><div>Though I've moved this functionality to freeSWITCH but here is the logic.</div><div> </div><div><u>AMI approach:</u></div><div>Use perl POE and when received Bridged event increment the counter, and similarly on Hangup decrement the counter. Since I see that there are some issues mentioned by OP so I assume using plain Answer/bridge and hangup events aren't working perfectly.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div><u>Dialplan approach:</u></div><div><u><br></u></div><div>The other alternative simple and effective way is use Dial() command with U or M argument. U command triggers a Subroutine and M executes a Macro Just before connecting/Bridging the call between A&B party.</div>
<div><br></div><div>There in Macro/Subroutine execute a system() with perl script in it say <a href="http://increment.pl">increment.pl</a> </div><div><br></div><div>That perl script connects to redis(memcache) and increments the callcounter KVP - thats all.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Next on hangup execute the same system() application with perl script in it say <a href="http://decrement.pl">decrement.pl</a> - this script in terms decrement the callcounter KVP in redis.</div><div><br>
</div><div>Any other applications which needs the call-count should now interface to Redis and fetch the callcounter.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope I made some sense :)</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Sammy</div>
