Monitor()
Synopsis
Monitor a channel.
Description
Used to start monitoring a channel. The channel's input and output voice packets are logged to files until the channel hangs up or monitoring is stopped by the StopMonitor application.
By default, files are stored to /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/. Returns -1 if monitor files can't be opened or if the channel is already monitored, otherwise 0.
Syntax
Arguments
- file_format
- file_format - optional, if not set, defaults to wav
- urlbase
- fname_base - if set, changes the filename used to the one specified.
- options
- m - when the recording ends mix the two leg files into one and delete the two leg files. If the variable MONITOR_EXEC is set, the application referenced in it will be executed instead of soxmix/sox and the raw leg files will NOT be deleted automatically. soxmix/sox or MONITOR_EXEC is handed 3 arguments, the two leg files and a target mixed file name which is the same as the leg file names only without the in/out designator.If MONITOR_EXEC_ARGS is set, the contents will be passed on as additional arguments to MONITOR_EXEC. Both MONITOR_EXEC and the Mix flag can be set from the administrator interface.
- b - Don't begin recording unless a call is bridged to another channel.
- i - Skip recording of input stream (disables m option).
- o - Skip recording of output stream (disables m option).
