[Freeswitch-users] Wait for ANSWER/HANGUP events in Mod lua

[Sami Montour]

Thank you guys for your input. I will look into nibble bill module and try it. It seems the module is designed for real-time billing.

realtime billing can be accomplished with nibble whichs deducts as the call is in progress... folowed up with bill validation via the cdr. if your lua script crashes no billing...

The billing I would like to use with lua is for real-time billing where subscribers are debited real-time or at the end of the call.

billing in lua is asking for issues... why not do something like triggiering the billing from the xml cdr or such this avoids loss od cdrs as it uses the filesystem as a backup to incase your websvices or billing processor is down

Hi Sam,

 

you should be more verbose what you currently doing. There a many ways to call an lua script in FS (in the dialplan, as startup-script, as dialplan-binding etc).

Sounds like you want to fetch some kind of billing informations.

I am using Mod lua for call processing on the FreeSwitch. I would like to wait for some events such as CHANNEL_ANSWER and CHANNEL_HANGUP  in order to get the answer time and hangup time. Basically, something like

 

Wait for event CHANNEL_ANSWER or CHANNEL_HANGUP

If (event_name = “CHANNEL_ANSWER”) then answer_timestamp = getHeader(“Caller-Channel-Answered-Time”) 

If (event_name = “CHANNEL_HANGUP”) then hangup_timestamp = getHeader(“Event-Date-Timestamp”)

 

The session:getState() described in module lua gets the call state but not the channel state. For instance, ‘CS_EXECUTE’ is the channel state when it is executing a dialplan not when the call is answered. 

 

Is there a way to wait for channel events such as CHANNEL_ANSWER and CHANNEL_HANGUP in order to retrieve answer and hangup timestamps for a call?

 

Any input is very much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

 

Sam
