New page

This module is intended to be used for load testing. It can generate large number of calls originated from Yate on an arbitrary protocol or to some number.

The call generator can be controlled from the [[rmanager]] as it processes "[[engine.command]]" messages. Alternatively these messages can be generated from Yate's command line like this:

yate 'callgen set called=1234' 'callgen start'

or something like this:

yate 'callgen set callto=sip/sip:1234@gw' 'callgen start'

=== Supported commands===

callgen set ''paramname''=''value''
Sets the value of parameter ''paramname'' to ''value''.

callgen set ''paramname''
Display the current value of the parameter ''paramname''.

callgen info
Display statistics about the current call session:
* total calls made
* how many got ringing
* how many got answered
* number of running calls
* number of calls left to make in the current session

callgen start
Start the calls generator.

callgen stop
Stops the call generator and drops all current calls.

callgen pause
Pause the call generator - do not generate new calls. Current calls continue to completion.

callgen resume
Resume generating new calls.

callgen drop
Drop all current calls but continue to generate new ones.

callgen single
Make a single call.

callgen load
Load the parameters from the ''callgen.conf'' file. The [parameters] section of this file is used although you are advised not to rely on the section name or file location - these may change in future versions.

callgen save
Save the parameters to the ''callgen.conf'' file. This operation can be disabled from the same config file by setting:
[general]
cansave=false

The following parameters are relevant:

;callto
:Location to call, should be something like ''sip/sip:user@ip''. It takes precedence over ''called''

;called
:Called number to use in routing. It is ignored if ''callto'' is set.

;caller
:Caller number to use in calls.

;source
:Data source to attach to the outgoing call. You can use something like ''tone/ring''

;maxlife
:Maximum lifetime of the call in milliseconds. If not set it defaults to 60000 (one minute).

;minlife
:Minimum lifetime of the call in milliseconds. If set calls will have a random lifetime between ''minlife'' and ''maxlife''.

;numcalls
:Number of calls to generate in this session, default 100.

;maxcalls
:Maximum number of simultaneous calls, defaults to 5. The actual number depends on how fast the calls are generated and destroyed.

;avgdelay
:Average delay between new calls in milliseconds. Defaults to 1000. If the current number of calls falls below ''maxcalls'' a new call will be generated after a time randomly distributed between ''0'' and ''2*avgdelay''.
