Hi,

I am using this dialplan to record incoming calls:

….. exten => 3331122,n,Set(MONITOR_FILE=${RECDIR}/${UNIQUEID})
exten => 3331122,n,MixMonitor(${MONITOR_FILE}.wav,b)
exten => 3331122,n,GoSub(stdexten(${Ext1007}))
exten => 3331122,n,Voicemail(1007@default,)
exten => 3331122,n,Hangup()

The problem is it records all incoming calls include those with the disposition of “NO ANSWER, FAILED, BUSY, UNKNOWN.”. For example the “NO
ANSWER” call will leave a 44byte wav file in my ${RECDIR}

How can I record only the calls with the disposition of “ANSWERED”?

May be I should run a cronjob to clean up the 44byte file after it’s been created? Is there a better way?

Thanks.

Gao

  • I would probably add a line in my hangup (h) extension that does an execif to delete the file if the disposition is not equal to “ANSWERED”.

  • The b option should only record bridged channels, so only connected calls should be recorded:

    b: Only save audio to the file while the channel is bridged.
    NOTE: Does not include conferences or sounds played to each bridged
    party
    NOTE: If you utilize this option inside a Local channel, you must
    make sure the Local channel is not optimized away. To do this, be sure
    to call your Local channel with the ‘/n’ option. For example:
    Dial(Lo
    cal/start@mycontext/n)

  • I have this b options in MixMonitor What is the /n option? Is it the same of:

    * *”n(*delete*)*: (Asterisk 1.6) If*delete*is*0*or not specified,
    delete the privacy manager introduction if the caller hangs up
    before the call is answered. If set to*1*, delete the recording even
    if the call is answered.”
