Re: [Freeswitch-users] Bad connection diagnostics? -BUMP
BUMP. Any other thoughts anyone? What can I monitor/track/store/ect on the Server? It is Centos 5.x and I am not a unix guy. Can I store the CPU usage level stats?

Thanks for the response AVI. I should have been more clear. This is a multi-tenant box. We use it for my 3 offices too. That is sort of why I mentioned ping and tracert results were the same, so I should have filled in the rest. The other tenants have no reported problems, and none of our 3 sites (7 phones) seem to have these issues currently. I have had all of these issues at one time or another, but write it off to temporary internet throughput variability issues/problems. I hate to use that excuse even when I truly think it is the problem. But when the problems are persistent (not constant) I am at a loss what to capture/track/test. They are looking to me to at least identify the problem and hopefully get it resolved. I do have the FS logs from at least one of these calls that had one way audio, but I am not proficient enough to spot any audio channel problems. I can hang in there through dialplan issues and sofia connections/errors and maybe even codec mismatches, but the audio connection information is still one step too far for me. Should I post those logs or can you offer another plan?

I would like an answer to this, too. However, here's a place to start: you have 2 legs - you to their VPS, and their VPS to their office phones. Perhaps there's an issue with the VPS. Can you get their VPS to playback a file and do an echo test? E.g. MOH or similar and call it directly and see if any of the same issues persist. Either way, you've narrowed down where the issue is... -Avi On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 6:41 PM, Sean Devoy <sdevoy@bizfocused.com> wrote: Hi, I have a client who has been working fine for months, but as of late they are reporting connections where the audio only works in one direction or neither and "terrible echo". I know they had some issues with their local Cable Connection, but they are supposedly resolved. Results from "ping -n 50 -l 256 " and "tracert" are virtually identical to mine from here and I have no issues. Are there some diagnostics I could run to try and pin this down. The phones are all cisco 504Gs, the server is a VPS from synapseglobal. Thanks for any ideas you may have.

Here is a list of common tools to monitor your servers: http://www.linuxscrew.com/2012/03/22/linux-monitoring-tools/ The problem is that if you're not comfortable with *nix, you might not be able to install them :/ Here are a lot of interesting commandline tools that you can run (no setup required): http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/top-linux-monitoring-tools.html If nothing else, they'll give you a feel for what's available to monitor. Good luck! Gabe
Thanks Gabe. I didn't realize a reply would start a new thread. I am not *nix illiterate, it is just more like an "English as a second language" relationship. I just need someone to point the direction, as you did. Thanks very much.
