Monitoring active sessions on a gateway

[tfernandez]

Hi All,

I am wondering if anyone has found a way to monitor active calls on a gateway. I have multiple SIP trunks to my upstream carriers and want to know what my usage is like so that I can know when to increase my channels.

Up until now, I have gotten the total channels via fs_cli and divided it by 2 which isn't ideal, obviously. It gave me a rough amount.

Ever since adding more carriers, my numbers are less accurate.

I did read on some Freeswitch mailing lists that I can add limits and then monitor that. It seems a bit hacky.

sofia status gateways

command gets me sort of what I need, except that InBound calls do not move.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I am not certain if this is going in the direction you are wanting, but try this

fs_cli -x "show calls as xml" | grep "<direction>" | awk -F'[<>]' '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c

thank you @whut .

I ended up giving up on their being a built-in way to do this.

I think I was able to extract the per gateway active sessions by parsing the following:

fs_cli -x "show detailed_calls"

I have stats that seems to be accurate populating in my zabbix server.
