life360 feature with FreeSWITCH??
by Zenny 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi: I am just wondering whether life360.com kind of feature be achieved with FreeSWITCH? Any inputs like tracking family members or group members in a team using GPS? It is important in order to protect privacy from handing over to third parties rather create an inhouse system like life360? Any inputs to achieve the above including relevant modules will be appreciated? PS: How does FreeSWITCH fares behind a NAT now? Thanks! /z

Error loading mod_shout on 64bit windows
by Michael Lutz 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi, I have a FreeSWITCH system compiled and running (the same compilation) on a 32bit and a 64bit machine. Everything works fine except mod_shout. On the 32bit in initializes without any problem and I can use it, but on the 64bit it fails loading the dll. the console shows: -ERR loading module [module load file routine returned an error] 2012-02-13 19:52:18.954841 [CRIT] switch_loadable_module.c:1281 Error Loading module C:\FreeSWITCH\mod\mod_shout.dll **dll open error [193l] ** There is not much else I can find in the logs. Is this a known problem? or do I need to compile my mod_shout differently? Thanks, Michael Lutz

BUG REPORTING POLICY **** PLEASE READ ****
by Ken Rice 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Greetings FreeSWITCH users... It has come to my attention that many users are not properly reporting bugs. Contrary to popular belief, the mailing lists is not where we report bugs. We have http://jira.freeswitch.org for this function. Why should you open a jira? The developers have a hard enough time keeping track of their day jobs on top of all the requests for help that come in to the mailing lists. Yes we have a good list of users that help out on the mailing list and I would like to extend thanks to those that do. However, the mailing list can be quite busy at times and your bug report there quite frankly can and will get missed. Jira on the other hand is a proper issue tracking system. It allows us (the FreeSWITCH developers) keep up with your issues. On top of that, we don¹t have to go thru days if not weeks of emails to see the entire trail of what has happened with a specific issue. It also gives you a place to attach files to help us diagnose/fix the issue. Maybe you see the issue can be fixed with a simple patch (ok, maybe its not a simple patch). Attaching your patch there makes sure it doesn¹t get lost in the mix. Worried about duplicate reports that someone might have already opened? That¹s ok use Jira¹s search functions. If you find one that¹s already open that matches your needs and you see something that can contribute to fixing the problem, update it with a note. If for some reason we determine its a dup of another issue in jira, we can link them together and close the dups. Now, that leads us to another important issue. How do we get the information the developers really need to see? We have a pretty good wiki page on this at http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Reporting_Bugs Also, we see all the time on the mailing list someone has added a new feature or module they would like to get into tree. Again, creating a Jira and attaching the patch lets us track that feature. (Of course there are other ways to deal with this beyond the scope of this email) Help us help you. Remember its open source, that means you get the software for free, in return, you can help yourself and the project in general by following these simple steps. Ken

Error compiling latest git version on Fedora 14
by Juan Castro 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Note: I was able to compile it in the same conditions with last Friday's (Feb 10 2012) git. With today's (Feb 13) I can't. After ./bootstrap.sh and ./configure, the modules I enabled were: xml_int/mod_xml_curl endpoints/mod_rtmp applications/mod_callcenter applications/mod_curl applications/mod_http_cache applications/mod_voicemail_ivr The craziest thing: when I go to /usr/src/cloudivr/freeswitch.test/src/mod/xml_int/mod_xml_rpc it seems that last gcc line ran OK!

Access the Remote-Party-ID header from a SIP invite.
by Gael Martin 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hi, I need to read the content of the Remote-Party-ID header in a SIP invite from a provide but I can't seem to find the right channel variable that has the content I tried: <action application="log" data="CONSOLE RPID ${sip_h_Remote-Party-ID}"/> <action application="log" data="CONSOLE RPID ${Remote-Party-ID}"/> <action application="log" data="CONSOLE RPID ${sip_h_remote-party-id}"/> <action application="log" data="CONSOLE RPID ${sip_rpid}"/> But it's always blank, even so I can see the Header in the SIP invite. Any ideas? Gael

High CPU usage with only 30 channels?
by Tim St. Pierre 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

Hello, I'm having some scaling problems with our Freeswitch system. The machine running Freeswitch seems to be working very hard during the day, and we don't have that big a load. I need to be able to double our subscriber base, and I don't really want to go to a cluster just yet. Here's what top -CP displays during busy hour: tim@stefan%top -PC last pid: 75968; load averages: 4.64, 2.92, 1.74 up 10+08:54:14 11:17:25 129 processes: 1 running, 128 sleeping CPU 0: 4.5% user, 0.0% nice, 1.9% system, 0.0% interrupt, 93.6% idle CPU 1: 3.8% user, 0.0% nice, 2.6% system, 0.0% interrupt, 93.6% idle Mem: 632M Active, 2093M Inact, 322M Wired, 83M Cache, 384M Buf, 785M Free Swap: 4096M Total, 36K Used, 4096M Free PID USERNAME THR PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE C TIME CPU COMMAND 58521 freeswitch 98 74 r30 749M 648M ucond 0 528:54 0.10% freeswitch 983 root 1 44 0 10824K 2272K select 1 0:40 0.00% ntpd As you can see, the load average is pretty high, at least for something not that big. FS often has up to about 110 threads going. At night, this will settle right down to a 0.05 load average. CPU load never gets that high, but the machine still seems busy. Here's some other details: 40 channels, nearly all of them in CS_EXECUTE or CS_EXCHANGE_MEDIA We see only a few CPS, maybe 10 if it's really busy, but most calls are longer. Nearly all our customers are regular office users. There are 340 phones registered. About 300 of those are behind NAT getting an options-ping every 30s. They re-register every 5 minutes, so we see around 1 registration attempt per second, although it can be a little bursty. Each phone has at least 5 BLF subscriptions, There are 1156 rows in the sip_subscriptions table. All our trunks are SIP. Trunk side is g.711u and endpoints can do either g.711u or g.722 We use ODBC in the core - as well as for sofia, voicemail, and anything else that can use it. Directory and dialplan are done using CURL and handled by another server. The database is also on another server. Our MySQL system sits at about 100 Queries per second during the day , down to about 80 qps at night. This system started to choke until I changed a lot of the tables to the MEMORY engine and installed SSDs as the primary storage devices. Now the database is pretty happy - about 0.5 load average at the moment. It was up to 2 with 60% CPU going to mysqld before I went to memory tables. I keep hearing about FS systems handling thousands of users on one box. I'm nowhere near that and it seems to be maxed out. This system has a dual core Xeon 5100 at 2.6 GHz and 4GB of ram. Memory doesn't seem to be the issue, as there is still some unused. Operating system is FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE (amd64) Freeswitch is Version 1.0.head (git-7531fed 2011-08-17 11-27-20 -0500) I'm trying to update, but newer version break functionality, so I have to find a release that work before I can upgrade. What should I look for to remedy this, or is this considered normal and I just need more power? I could easily upgrade this box and install a pair of quad core chips. Any other information that would be helpful?

Rotate cdr-records as root user (when FS is running from freeswitch user).
by Henrik Aagaard Sørensen 13 Feb '12

13 Feb '12

I'm having FS running from the user freeswitch on CentOS 6. When calling (as the user root): /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli -x 'cdr_csv rotate' >/dev/null nothing happens. The cdr-records does not get rotated. Can anyone help me on why this is happening and how I can rotate the files as root?

xmpp outbound caller ID
by Robert 12 Feb '12

12 Feb '12

I just setup FS to be able to make phone calls through Gtalk and I was wondering if there is a way to set the outbound caller ID? I've tried various forms of the following the dialplan effective_caller_id_number=${###} On the receiving phone the Google number still shows up.
