Are you trying to do something like billing? If so using variables or anything getvar related will result in pool swell.   

Billing is out of band, or inband with things like nibble bill, which is just an implementation of a core idea of being able to nibble from a balance using the session heartbeats.

Hi.

I'm looking for a variable I can access in the dialplan (I use XML if it
matters) which will tell me the current time (when I read the variable) in the
format 2022-11-02 12:34:56.789789

If that's not available, but a microsecond-resolution Epoch timestamp is, what
would be the function to convert this to the above human format?

https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Switch+core+variables
tells me about variables which are set after a channel is hung up, so they're
no use during call setup, and

https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Channel+Variables doesn't
seem to have anything which represents "now".


Can anyone suggest where I should be looking to find such variables?


Thanks,


Antony.
