Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1. Overview

This module provides a way to identify calls using an increasing sequence of integers.

It starts assigning an integer to a call. Next call gets next free integer in a ring. When a call finishes its assigned number shall be freed.

2. Dependencies

2.1. Kamailio Modules

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • none.

2.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running Kamailio with this module loaded:

  • None.

3. Parameters

3.1. start (integer)

First number to assign when no number has been assigned yet.

This parameter has no default value. Not setting it raises an error.

Its value shall be greater than zero.

Example 1.1. Set start parameter

...
modparam("call_obj", "start", 10)
...

3.2. end (integer)

Last number to assign when all other numbers have been already assigned.

No default value. Not setting this parameter raises an error.

Its value shall be greater than zero.

Example 1.2. Set end parameter

...
modparam("call_obj", "end", 93)
...

4. Functions

4.1.  call_obj_get(reply_number)

Get next free number. reply_number parameter is a variable where function will store result in string format.

Example 1.3. call_obj_get usage

...
if (call_obj_get("$dlg_var(x)")) {
	xlog("Object: $dlg_var(x)\n");
}
...

4.2.  call_obj_free(object_number)

Mark an object_number as free, so it can be assigned again. This number will not be readily assigned until a loop in the ring has completed. object_number shall be provided in string format.

Example 1.4. call_obj_free usage

...
$dlg_var(y) = "27";
if (call_obj_free("$dlg_var(y)")) {
	xlog("object $dlg_var(y) freed OK\n");
}
...

5. RPC Commands

5.1. call_obj.free

Free an object.

Parameter is a number represented in string format.

Name: call_obj.free

Parameters: object_number

Example 1.5. call_obj.free usage

...
kamcmd call_obj.free s:12
...

5.2. call_obj.stats

Return some statistics about call_obj module.

It currently returns:

  • Start: Number of first object

  • End: Number of last object in range

  • Total: Total assignable objects

  • Assigned: Number of currently assigned objects

Name: call_obj.stats

Parameters: none

Example 1.6. call_obj.stats usage

...
kamcmd call_obj.stats
...

5.3. call_obj.free_all

Make all objects free at once.

Name: call_obj.free_all

Parameters: none

Example 1.7. call_obj.free_all usage

...
kamcmd call_obj.free_all
...

5.4. call_obj.list

List all active calls which duration is longer than a value in seconds.

Name: call_obj.list

Parameters: duration limit

limit parameter is optional

Example 1.8. call_obj.list usage

...
Show every call which duration is less than or equal to 24 seconds:				
kamcmd call_obj.list 24

Same but limit output to at most 5 calls:
kamcmd call_obj.list 24  5

Same but show again all calls (0 means no limit):
kamcmd call_obj.list 24  0
...
