View source for Call Counters


This module keeps a count of active calls per user specified context and adds one or all counters to be used in routing decisions. The context parameter must be generated in the [[call.cdr]] messages by the [[CDR Build Module|cdrbuild]] module.

===Parameters===

The following parameters are interpreted in the call.cdr message:

* chan - the ID of the call leg, always added by cdrbuild
* direction - direction of the call leg, always added by cdrbuild
* operation - type of CDR operation, always added by cdrbuild
* parameter - context parameter as configured 

In the call.route message:

* allcounters - local override of the configured setting to add all counters
* parameter - context parameter as configured, only if allcounters is not true 

If allcounters is false parameter_count will be set to the current counter value. A value of zero is never set as context counters are dynamically created and removed.

If allcounters is true several parameter_count_context parameters will be set, each holding the current count for context.

===Configuration===

File callcounters.conf:
 [general]
 ; Global settings of the per context call counters
 
 ; parameter: string: Name of the call parameter to use for context counting
 ; This parameter must exist in the call.cdr messages by adding a line
 ;  like: context=false to the [parameters] section of cdrbuild.conf
 ;parameter=
 
 ; direction: string: Direction of the call legs counted, set empty to count all
 ;direction=incoming
 
 ; allcounters: boolean: Add all counters instead of just the current context
 ;allcounters=false
 
 
 [priorities]
 ; Numerical priorities of installed message handlers
 
 ; call.cdr: integer: Priority of CDR message handler used to count calls
 ;call.cdr=20
 
 ; call.route: integer: Priority of handler used to add counters to routing message
 ;call.route=20
