Archivedir

archivedir is a simple log and recorder.

Placed in rpt.conf

archivedir= /etc/asterisk/log/

Note: You will need to create a subdirectory from the stated path with the node# so each node has it's own archive.

i.e.

/etc/asterisk/log/1999

/etc/asterisk/log/1997

You must add the node# when creating the path as archivedir will be looking for it.

The chosen directory must have ownership / rights for asterisk.

It will create 2 things. A daily log file that the contents look similar to this...

20221216112549,TXUNKEY,MAIN

20221216112800,RXKEY,29285

20221216112800,TXKEY,MAIN

20221216112800,RXUNKEY,29285

20221216112800,TXUNKEY,MAIN

20221216112801,LINKDISC,29285

The log file is named by date look like this:

20221216.txt

And a series of audio recordings, one each for an active COR on the node and named with file date and time down to the 1/100th of a second.

20221216115590.WAV (note that .wav and .WAV are not the same exact format)

Unfortunately, the log is not very in depth. But can show connects and disconnects and transmissions. Often you will need to listen to the audio to tell exactly what happened when trying to trace some things down. But you have a time stamp to make that easier.

You must take care if running this long periods of time as the audio files will consume a lot of HDD space.

This can be useful in debugging, policing or other creative things.

But note the dangerous warnings provided with the use of the 'asterisk logger'.
