 Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2008 12:51 pm Post subject: [asterisk-users] Chanspy on Asterisk 1.4.19 |
 |
|
Hi all,
I've just upgraded to 1.4.19 from 1.4.18.1 and now have problems with
app_chanspy. To monitor I use -
exten => 596,1,ringing
exten => 596,n,Wait(1)
exten => 596,n,ChanSpy(|g(2000))
exten => 596,n,Hangup
and the listened-to channel as follows -
exten => _77XXXX,1,Set(SPYGROUP=2000)
exten => _77XXXX,n,Dial(Zap/g2/${EXTEN:2})
This worked fine with 1.4.18.1. With 1.4.19 if I dial 596 I get answered
but there's no spying, the only way I could get this to work was with -
exten => 596,n,ChanSpy(|b)
but this spied on all channels, not just those with SPYGROUP set to 2000
so not much use to us.
I've recompiled Asterisk 1.4.19 with app_chanspy.c from 1.4.18.1 and it
works again. I'm using latest zaptel, libpri and addons on CentOS 4.4.
Changelog in 1.4.19 shows some changes to app_chanspy to stop asterisk
crashes and other improvements so would be nice to have the fixes maybe.
Anyone any ideas?
Regards,
Steve |

It sounds like there may have been some sort of regression introduced in
the changes between 1.4.18.1 and 1.4.19. Would you mind opening a
ticket on the bug tracker so that the developers can make sure it gets
addressed?

You can pass multiple options to a dialplan application, so instead of
downgrading ChanSpy, you could have just done:
exten => 596,n,ChanSpy(|bg(2000))
Or am I missing something?

Should one have to change their dialplan for functionality to remain
the same in the same version?
I thought it was only really supposed to change when something is
deprecated (and documented in a README or something after throwing
warnings for a version or so.)
Thanks,

I wasn't suggesting it wasn't a regression, just making the OP aware
that he can pass multiple arguments to a dialplan application (i.e.
ChanSpy(|bg(2000)))
He mentioned that he was able to get it to work in 1.4.19 by passing the
bridge argument ('b') but didn't seem to be aware that he could also
pass his original argument list ('g(2000)') as well. Seems easier to
just work around the problem with the additional argument than to
backport the application.

Yes I was aware of multiple arguments, I did try chanspy(|bg(2000)), I
tried all combinations I could think of. Although maybe what I should
have said was I tried chanspy(|b) just to prove chanspy itself was
working at all (and it was), with chanspy(|bg(2000)) the 'spygroup'
element didn't work, it just spied on every active call.
Anyway, I've raised a bug report as requested by Jared at Digium.

My own Chanspy(g(GROUPNAME)) works 2 times out of three (roughly). The
other time, it crashes Asterisk. Using 1.4.19 too.

Ah. My apologies for the confusion. Not that it helps you a great
deal, but I am running ChanSpy successfully in production (as we speak)
with 1.4.19 with no crashes or the like:
ChanSpy(SIP/11,g(Spyable))
Maybe its only a problem if no channel spec is passed?

This was an incredibly subtle bug that was introduced into 1.4.19 when the other
work was done on chanspy to fix crashes and deadlocks. It has been fixed in 1.4
in SVN revision 114226.
Basically, chanspy was a crapshoot if you didn't specify a first argument,
because the function intended to walk through the list of active channels would
always end up returning the first channel it found. If that happened to be a
spy-able channel, then great, otherwise you'd never spy on anything.

Mark,
I added a first argument. Here is my line now:
exten => *012,n,Chanspy(SIP,qg(GROUP_NAME))
Unfortunately, that still crashes Asterisk once out of 3-5 times. Is there
anyway to absolutely prevent crashes with this bug in vanilla 1.4.19?
Thanks,

I saw a patch attached to that bug report, just download it run patch
and then make clean && make install, restart asterisk and you should be
smokin.

Anthony,
What bug report ID# would that be? Not being a dev I find it hard to know
which of the 4 chanspy bug I need a patch for, since none of them seem to
refer to a 1.4.19 bug.
