CHANGE PATH RECORDING

[dgxa]

Hi I want to change the path recording of vicidial (asterisk) , i am seeing that the audio storage is /var/spool/asterisk/monitor and after run the vicidial script move to /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE

I want to change those route for customization reasons. In my scenario the path /var/spool/asterisk/monitor will be /mnt/grabaciones/spool/asterisk/monitor and /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE will be /mnt/grabaciones/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE. Those PATH will be take the same folders that the default route previously indicated

I want to make of this way the things for achieve my objective:

1.- Mount my partition /mnt/grabaciones
2.- Copy the PATHS /var/spool/asterisk/monitor and /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE to the place previously indicated
3.- Change the PATH use by astGUIclient (/etc/astguiclient.conf)
OLD VALUES
PATHmonitor => /var/spool/asterisk/monitor
PATHDONEmonitor => /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE
NEW VALUES
PATHmonitor => /mnt/grabaciones/spool/asterisk/monitor
PATHDONEmonitor => /mnt/grabaciones/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE
4.- Change PATH in /etc/asterisk/asterisk.conf
OLD VALUES
astspooldir => /var/spool/asterisk
NEW VALUES
astspooldir => /mnt/grabaciones/spool/asterisk
5.- Reload asterisk and test made changes

Could you help me to see if any step is incomplete, i understand that /etc/astguiclient.conf save the variables of the perl scripts for vicidial. In this case have i to run other script to reload some configuration or not.


VICIDIAL VERSION: 2.14-770a
SO CENTOS 7
ASTERISK version 13

your trying to reinvent the wheel. just run this command: /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/install.pl

-nox

Thank for your suggestion. I will change the PATHS in the script $PATHmonitor and $PATHDONEmonitor in /usr/src/astguiclient/trunk/install.pl

Question, can i to run this script in any moment to change the route or only can run it at the installation time?

[carpenox]

you can change it at any time using that script

monitor is often a memory drive to improve system performance. so be cautious when moving it. i usually use a sym link to put the other folders where vicidial already expects to find them. this way the environment vicidial finds itself upon restore is always the same after a fresh install/restore occurs. nobody has to remember to create a new non-standard folder structure unless the new system requires it.

i also don't recommend changing that folder in the first place. use the FTP audio archiving script to put files in another location if you need them moved. there's even an option for a redundant storage location for disaster recovery (or simple HD failure).

You should only change the path /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE to the desired path of your liking because thats where the call recordings will be stored, this directory : /var/spool/asterisk/monitor is used to process the IN and OUT wav files or RAW audio recordings and by default this is done in a RAM drive which is linked to the /var/spool/asterisk/monitor directory (see /etc/fstab) so it would be wise to only change the path /var/spool/asterisk/monitorDONE

The doubt that i have is if have i to change astspooldir => /var/spool/asterisk of the manual way because that you see it has the default route assigned for spooldir

This installation was made with CentOS 7

I had the same problem and I solved it with a bash script that runs and does two processes: move the audio to a new path (/mnt/Recordings) and modify the location field in the recording_log table. We do some extra process like classify the audios by account (campaign/inbound) and date. The script is executed once the vicidial finishes the process of generating the audio (process IN and OUT file).

If you are interested in the script, write me and I'll share with you.
