[Freeswitch-users] show calls/channels b-leg false information

[Michael Collins]

Ah - be careful. The "database" is not the entire picture. When you do show
channels or show calls it pulls right from some sqlite3 tables that are
frequently updated by FreeSWITCH. You have a few choices depending upon
just how intense your monitoring will be:

#1 - Follow Steven's advice and monitor CHANNEL events on the event socket
#2 - Use some form of polling and "uuid_getvar <uuid> sip_gateway_name" to
get the name for each channel
#3 - Modify the source code to store the sip_gateway_name in the same table
that stores the rest of the show channels/show calls information. (Most
people don't realize that you can do this. :)

Personally I like event socket/ESL so I would go with #1 first.
