I'll try some tests with various combinations first and then decide
what's best.<br>
<br>
I have to say that I was astonished to find out that freeswitch had so
many event handlers from the very beginning.<br>
However it would be great if freeswitch had the options for extra
functionality (auto log rotation, db cdrs etc)<br>
so that it meets the peculiarities of every different project. That
would make a big difference compared to<br>
other softswitch solutions where the lack of such features prohibits
people from using them (especially in<br>
the carrier grade level). User feedback (and wish lists) is the key for
the success of an open source (or not) <br>
project...<br>
<br>
Thank you all for your replies. You' ve been very helpful.<br>

The sleep's done each time the directory's empty, not each time a
file's written. File open and close<br>
are trivial (it's probably still cached), and the contents are going to
have to be parsed wherever you <br>
process it.<br>
<br>
We've used exactly this to process deliver CDRs on boxes handling in
excess of 500K mins/day<br>
without issue. And, looking at one now, the CDR processor's used about
4% of the CPU time<br>
of FreeSWITCH, and about half that of the MySQL database which it
writes the records to, also<br>
on the local machine, from which they're simply copied to the main CDR
processor.<br>
<br>
It performance simply isn't worth worrying about.<br>

But then you could only insert 1800 cdrs per hour...
If I was to insert 36000 cdrs per hour this means that I have to
open
parse
close
10 files per second. Imagine the I/O penalty just for opening - closing the file.
(the persing is the same for both situations)

that could slow things down considerably, wouldn't it?

<pre wrap=""><!---->Not that you'd notice. We run XML CDR to database scripting on each box
that we use
for switching, and it's a pretty trivial task compared with switching
all that media. Doing it
this way is:-
(a) distributed - one process per box scales nicely;
(b) robust - script down, DB down, no problem: files just queue up;
(c) simple - the script logic is trivial:
- while 1
- for each file in the XML CDR directory
- open it
- parse it (XML::Simple for us)
- insert it in to the DB
- delete it
- sleep for a couple of seconds
Two error cases: can't parse or can't find data which should be there:
move the file in to
another directory to be examined by real eyes; DB insert fails: break
out of inner loop and
it'll be retried after a short pause.
