[Freeswitch-users] Billsec in dialplan

[Joel Serrano]

Hi Michael,

The problem is that occasionally we see the following in FS log:

2016-04-13 02:33:11.143230 [ERR] mod_xml_cdr.c:385 Got error [0] posting to
web server [http://cdrs.example.com/queue]
2016-04-13 02:33:11.143230 [ERR] mod_xml_cdr.c:392 Retry will be with url [
http://cdrs.example.com/queue]

When that happens, the CDR gets written to disc (so the CDR is not
processed on time, thus our user is not billed for that call yet).

We have a task that checks every 5 minutes for failed CDRs and we resubmit
them to the processing queue, but I need to find out why FS is failing.

I have checked the access logs on the receiving side, but all requests
return a 200 OK.

Now I have enabled logs in the loadbalancer between FS and the queues to
see if I get more vision from there...


A workaround was to make API requests directly from the dialplan with the
billsec info, but as all suggest going with CDRs, I am now focussed on
finding the root cause for that error.

Any help/suggestion is more than welcome.


Thank you.

Best regards,
Joel.
