Fully dynamic agents and QueueMetrics
2006-07-24
NOTE: If you run QueueMetrics 1.4.x and would like to enable queue-by-queue logons
and logoffs with fully dynamic agents, see here for Asterisk 1.2 or
here for Asterisk 1.4.
QueueMetrics requires a little tweaking to work with fully dynamic agents. This is because
the AddQueueMember() command will not log data correctly to queue_log, so we have to do this manually.
The best way to do this is to log on your agents to all the queues you need and do an AGENTLOGIN,
and then log them off when you do an AGENTLOGOFF. Calls will be reported correctly to the correct queue
anyway.
For example, if your operator works on queue q1 and q2 and q3, you would do like this:
If you use Local/XX@ext channel rewriting to Agent/XX, make sure to log 'Agent/${EXTEN:3}' instead of 'SIP/${EXTEN:3}'
As a further alternative, you could have your agents login in the morning to a "fake" extension producing the log line, then join each single queue without producing a log line, and then logging off in the evening to another "fake" extension producing the log line.
As a last alternative, if you need to track the actual logon-logoff times for each queue, what you have to do is to log on each queue by logging to a different agent, like:
For example, if your operator works on queue q1 and q2 and q3, you would do like this:
; Add Member - 422
exten => _422XX,1,Answer
exten => _422XX,2,AddQueueMember(q1,SIP/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _422XX,3,AddQueueMember(q2,SIP/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _422XX,4,AddQueueMember(q3,SIP/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _422XX,5,System( echo "${EPOCH}|${UNIQUEID}|NONE|SIP/${EXTEN:3}|AGENTLOGIN|-" >> /var/log/asterisk/queue_log )
exten => _422XX,6,DBput(dynlogin/log_Agent-${EXTEN:3}=${EPOCH})
exten => _422XX,7,Hangup
; Remove Member - 423
exten => _423XX,1,Answer
exten => _423XX,2,RemoveQueueMember(q1,SIP/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _423XX,3,RemoveQueueMember(q2,SIP/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _423XX,4,RemoveQueueMember(q3,SIP/${EXTEN:3})
exten => _423XX,5,DBget(ORGEPOCH=dynlogin/log_Agent-${EXTEN:3})
exten => _423XX,6,Set(RV=$[${EPOCH} - ${ORGEPOCH}])
exten => _423XX,7,GotoIf($["${RV}" = "0"]?10:8)
exten => _423XX,8,System( echo "${EPOCH}|${UNIQUEID}|NONE|SIP/${EXTEN:3}|AGENTLOGOFF|-|${RV}" >> /var/log/asterisk/queue_log )
exten => _423XX,9,DBdel(dynlogin/log_Agent-${EXTEN:3})
exten => _423XX,10,Hangup

As a last alternative, if you need to track the actual logon-logoff times for each queue, what you have to do is to log on each queue by logging to a different agent, like:
- Operator 20 on queue q1 is Agent/q1-20
- Operator 21 on queue q2 is Agent/q2-21
default.rewriteLocalChannels=true
default.rewriteLocalWithQueue=true
The login-logoff code in this case is as follows (for queue 'q1'):
