PostPosted: Tue Aug 12, 2014 1:33 am    Post subject: [asterisk-users] Asterisk 12.4 "Agent Busy" messag Reply with quote

Hi,


I am upgrading from Asterisk 1.4 to 12.4. I am able to authenticate the user and call AgentLogin. But after that when I call AgentRequest I keep getting Agent '1234' is busy.

If I put a delay of 5 second or more before calling AgentRequest then it works most of the times. Here's my dialplan:


[login]
exten => s,1,Background(thank-you-for-calling)
        same => n,WaitExten(.65)
        same => n,Background(press-1)
        same => n,WaitExten(15)
exten => 1,1,Read(USER,"agent-user")
        same => n,Authenticate(${ODBC_AGENTPASSWORD(${USER})})
        same => n,AgentLogin(${USER})
        same => n,NoOp(${USER} AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
        same => n,Hangup()

[agents]
exten => _X.,1,Set(UserNumber=${EXTEN})
        same => n,Wait(5) ; it works most of the time with this wait of 5s
        same => n,AgentRequest(${EXTEN})
        same => n,NoOp(${EXTEN} AGENT_STATUS is ${AGENT_STATUS})
        same => n,Dial(Agent/${EXTEN},,g)
        same => n,NoOp(Dial Status: ${DIALSTATUS})
        same => n,GotoIf($["${DIALSTATUS}" != "ANSWER"]?done)
        same => n(done),Hangup()

There is an initial 5 second wait after an agent logs in.  The wait is a necessary
probation period to allow any local channel chain that the agent may have to
optimize out.  If the agent local channel optimization happens while the agent is
on a call then the agent pool can lose track of the agent and the agent will be
logged out.  The agent will then have to log back in after the current call
completes.

Why are you attempting to request an agent that has a device state
(Agent:agent_id) of busy anyway?  That agent could be on another call or in a
between call wrap-up time.

There is an initial 5 second wait after an agent logs in. The wait is a

on a call then the agent pool can lose track of the agent and the agent will
be
logged out. The agent will then have to log back in after the current call
completes.

That being said, I don't think we're thrilled with that 5 second wait
time. See https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-23259 for a
bug report noting this behaviour.

Thank you for the response Richard and Matthew! It's good to hear that you are working on fixing the 5s delay. I was really puzzled by it and found the idle time by trial and error. Is there any documentation of these new behaviors?

Coming back to the main issue, I am getting agent busy when the agent logs in for the first time. He/she is not supposed to be on any call. Is there any command to find our where the agent is busy?

Use the DEVICE_STATE() function and pass it "Agent:1234" to get the current state of agent 1234.
