Thank you Saboor,

I'm not sure I understood what you meant by calling FS variable inside LUA. I call my LUA script from luarun BGAPI command over ESL and hence no XML dialplan loads this script. 

I have made this work alternatively by calling "eval ${distributor(GWLB)}" command from the LUA script using freeswitch.API().

These two lines got me the required gateway:

fs_api = freeswitch.API();
gateway = fs_api:executeString("eval ${distributor(GWLB)}");

I am feeling this as an overhead since its an Auto-dialer LUA application and is called about couple hundred times a second.

If anyone can advise that'll be great.

Best Regards,
Sammy

Hi 
i am not sure about lua so may be some other friend can help . but one thing i can see that you are trying to call a freeswitch variable inside a lua string so may  be its the reason its not doing as you are expecting. 
If you share your lua code may be someone here can help .

Thanks

Dear Saboor,

That is indeed weird since I did not want to load the test list in the file and hence used my own list. Reading your comment I put the test list back in and my first two issues are resolved. No warning and no -err on expanding the lists now. Its working now; strange for me.

Anyway, the last question still needs some help which is using this in LUA script. 

Best Regards,
Sammy

Hi Sammy,
its a news for me that even after restarting you are having invalid weight warnings. 
there is only one file to change i-e 

/usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/distributor.xml 

And reloadxml,distributor_ctl reload should work fine.

can  you recheck file if sample list is still enabled as default configs come with something like 10 i think.

Dear Saboor,

Thanks for the quick reply, to share my luck with this, I'v even tried a complete restart of freeswitch after trying reloadxml and sofia module reloading as well.

The total-weight Warning even if I configured it with 2 made me think that I'm probably changing in the wrong file but the API command to expand distributor list gives results for the first two attempts so that is really weird for me.

Just to add info, this is my FS version:

freeswitch@internal> version
FreeSWITCH Version 1.3.14b+git~20130305T150702Z~57d6495248 (git 57d6495 2013-03-05 15:07:02Z)

Hi,
Total Weight 2 and nodes weight as 1/1 was fine . you should do first "reloadxml" and then "distributor_ctl reload"

Dear users,

I'm trying to figure out how this mod_distributor works. I've a few questions to help me get this going.

I've defined two of my gateways in the distributor.conf.xml like this:

<configuration name="distributor.conf" description="Distributor Configuration">
  <lists>
    <list name="GWLB" total-weight="2">
      <node name="OpenSIPS-A" weight="1"/>
      <node name="OpenSIPS-B" weight="1"/>
    </list>
  </lists>
</configuration>

and so when I reload the distributor from API I get the following warning:

freeswitch@internal> distributor_ctl reload
+ok reloaded.
2013-08-06 14:17:16.652087 [WARNING] mod_distributor.c:201 Total weight does not add up to total weight 10

So I've changed the total-weight to 10, and set weight of each node as 5. That gives the same warning as well.

A Warning is fine, but as soon as I just use API to expand the list I get a proper gateway name for the first two times only and then -err starts showing up until I reload the distributor.

freeswitch@internal> expand distributor GWLB
OpenSIPS-A
freeswitch@internal> expand distributor GWLB
OpenSIPS-B
freeswitch@internal> expand distributor GWLB
-err
freeswitch@internal> expand distributor GWLB
-err
freeswitch@internal>

The last question is regarding use of this distributor from LUA script.

I call in the distributor like this from my LUA.

session = freeswitch.Session("{ignore_early_media=true,origination_caller_id_number="..outbound_cli.."}sofia/gateway/${distributor(GWLB)}/".. phone_number);

and that gives a straight error:

[ERR] mod_sofia.c:4668 Invalid Gateway '%{distributor(GWLB)}'


I hope somebody can share their knowledge on this module and help me move forward with my project.

Best Regards,
Sammy
