[Asterisk-Users] Realtime Config

[Douglas Garstang]

Hi Aaron.

Well, there's 'realtime static' which it supposedly uses. It's table structure is:

CREATE TABLE `ast_config` ( 
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, 
 `cat_metric` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
 `var_metric` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
 `commented` int(11) NOT NULL default '0', 
 `filename` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', 
 `category` varchar(128) NOT NULL default 'default', 
 `var_name` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', 
 `var_val` varchar(128) NOT NULL default '', 
 PRIMARY KEY  (`id`), 
 KEY `filename_comment` (`filename`,`commented`) 
) TYPE=MyISAM; 

and you can use it to store information in the [general] section and so on. I know this works because I've used it before. It just isn't clear if all the config files use it or not.

Doug.

As far as I can tell with our systems, the config files are read first, 
then the realtime db.  We've got a few static servers that never change, 
so I hardcode those in case something goes wrong with the DB, and the DB 
contains any other configurations that will be dynamic.  I'm not sure if 
realtime has any support for the basic general information at the top of 
the config files, so I think you need to have the files to convey that 
information.

Extensions.conf lets you have a switch command to call into Realtime. For other conf files, you can use the realtime static table to load the general sections, or can you? I guess this question doesn't make much sense because the docs don't make much sense to me.
