How to – Set Up Asterisk 18 with ConfBridge for ViciDial with Bug fixes for monitoring<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

For this article, I will go over how you can install Asterisk 18 to use with ViciDial and using ConfBridge instead of MeetMe. There is a few bugs in the monitor function for use with ViciDial, however I have debugged it and will share this fix with all of you today.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Step 1 – Install and patch Asterisk 18<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
cd \/usr\/src\/asterisk\/\nwget https:\/\/downloads.asterisk.org\/pub\/telephony\/asterisk\/old-releases\/asterisk-18.18.1.tar.gz\ntar -xzvf asterisk-18.18.1.tar.gz\n\ncd \/usr\/src\/asterisk\/asterisk-18.18.1\/\nwget http:\/\/download.vicidial.com\/asterisk-patches\/Asterisk-18\/amd_stats-18.patch\nwget http:\/\/download.vicidial.com\/asterisk-patches\/Asterisk-18\/iax_peer_status-18.patch\nwget http:\/\/download.vicidial.com\/asterisk-patches\/Asterisk-18\/sip_peer_status-18.patch\nwget http:\/\/download.vicidial.com\/asterisk-patches\/Asterisk-18\/timeout_reset_dial_app-18.patch\nwget http:\/\/download.vicidial.com\/asterisk-patches\/Asterisk-18\/timeout_reset_dial_core-18.patch\ncd apps\/\nwget http:\/\/download.vicidial.com\/asterisk-patches\/Asterisk-18\/enter.h\nwget http:\/\/download.vicidial.com\/asterisk-patches\/Asterisk-18\/leave.h\nyes | cp -rf enter.h.1 enter.h\nyes | cp -rf leave.h.1 leave.h\n\ncd \/usr\/src\/asterisk\/asterisk-18.18.1\/\npatch < amd_stats-18.patch apps\/app_amd.c\npatch < iax_peer_status-18.patch channels\/chan_iax2.c\npatch < sip_peer_status-18.patch channels\/chan_sip.c\npatch < timeout_reset_dial_app-18.patch apps\/app_dial.c\npatch < timeout_reset_dial_core-18.patch main\/dial.c<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 2 – Compile Asterisk<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
: ${JOBS:=$(( $(nproc) + $(nproc) \/ 2 ))}\n.\/configure --libdir=\/usr\/lib64 --with-gsm=internal --enable-opus --enable-srtp --with-ssl --enable-asteriskssl --with-pjproject-bundled --with-jansson-bundled\n\nmake menuselect\/menuselect menuselect-tree menuselect.makeopts\n#enable app_meetme\nmenuselect\/menuselect --enable app_meetme menuselect.makeopts\n#enable res_http_websocket\nmenuselect\/menuselect --enable res_http_websocket menuselect.makeopts\n#enable res_srtp\nmenuselect\/menuselect --enable res_srtp menuselect.makeopts\nmake samples\nsed -i 's|noload = chan_sip.so|;noload = chan_sip.so|g' \/etc\/asterisk\/modules.conf\nmake -j ${JOBS} all\nmake install<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 3 – Add ConfBridge to use with ViciDial<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Lets add the extensions we need to use confbridges with ViciDial with the following commands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cd \/etc\/asterisk\nnano extensions.conf\n\nAdd the following lines below the [default]<\/mark><\/strong> area:\n\n; --------------------------\n; ConfBridge Extensions\n; --------------------------\n\n; use to send a agent channel into the conference\nexten => _9600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _9600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _9600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN},vici_agent_bridge,vici_customer_user)\nexten => _9600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used to send an customer channel into the conference\nexten => _29600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _29600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _29600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_agent_user)\nexten => _29600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used by an admin to enter the confernece\nexten => _39600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _39600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _39600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_admin_user)\nexten => _39600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used to monitor a conference\nexten => _49600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _49600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _49600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_monitor_user)\nexten => _49600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used to record into a conference\nexten => _59600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _59600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _59600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_recording_user)\nexten => _59600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used to barge a conference\nexten => _69600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _69600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _69600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_barge_user)\nexten => _69600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used to trigger DTMF tones in a conference\nexten => _79600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _79600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _79600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_dtmf_user)\nexten => _79600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used to play an audio file to a conference\nexten => _89600XXX,1,Answer()\nexten => _89600XXX,n,Playback(sip-silence)\nexten => _89600XXX,n,ConfBridge(${EXTEN:1},vici_agent_bridge,vici_audio_user)\nexten => _89600XXX,n,Hangup()\n\n;; used to kick all channels from a conference\nexten => _99600XXX,1,ConfKick(${EXTEN:1},all)\nexten => _99600XXX,2,Hangup()\nexten => _55559600XXX,1,ConfKick(${EXTEN:4},all)\nexten => _55559600XXX,2,Hangup()<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
While we are in this file, lets go ahead and address and fix one of the bugs, which is not being able to listen or barge on calls through the real-time report. Search for “08600X” in extensions.conf which is at line 119 and should look like the picture below:<\/p>\n\n\n

Step 4 – Add confbridge functions<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
nano \/etc\/asterisk\/confbridge.conf and paste this at the bottom:
#include confbridge-vicidial.conf<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now create a new file called confbridge-vicidial.conf and add the following lines:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6 – Update the IP to your Server IP<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Run the following command:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\/usr\/share\/astguiclient\/ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl –old-server_ip=10.10.10.17<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Step 7 – Patch the files for ViciDial to be able to use confbridges<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
cd \/usr\/src\/astguiclient\/trunk\/extras\/ConfBridge\/\ncp * \/usr\/share\/astguiclient\/\ncd \/usr\/share\/astguiclient\/\nmv manager_send.php.diff vdc_db_query.php.diff vicidial.php.diff \/var\/www\/html\/agc\/\npatch -p0 < ADMIN_keepalive_ALL.pl.diff\npatch -p0 < ADMIN_update_server_ip.pl.diff\npatch -p0 < AST_DB_optimize.pl.diff\nchmod +x AST_conf_update_screen.pl\npatch -p0 < AST_reset_mysql_vars.pl.diff\ncd \/var\/www\/html\/agc\/\npatch -p0 < manager_send.php.diff\npatch -p0 < vdc_db_query.php.diff\npatch -p0 < vicidial.php.diff<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 8 – Change the screens for Vicidial being used<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A new screen session has been added called ‘AST_conf_update_screen.pl’. This screen session replaces both the AST_conf_update.pl and AST_conf_update_3way.pl scripts. It checks both MeetMe and ConfBridge conferences for unnecessary channels and removes them. For instance if an agent does a Leave 3way and a few minutes later one of the remaining channels hangs up. This script will remove the remaining channel and free the conference for use by Vicidial. This screen session is optional for use with MeetMe but is required to be used with ConfBridge.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Step 9 – Change \/etc\/astguiclient.conf<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
To enable this screen session you need to add a ‘C’ to the ‘VARactive_keepalives’ variable in the ‘\/etc\/astguiclient.conf’ on your dialers, and comment out the following line from your crontab: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
### updater for conference validator #* * * * * \/usr\/share\/astguiclient\/AST_conf_update.pl <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can configure the refresh interval for how often the screen session checks for unnecessary channels by changing “Conf Update Interval” in Admin -> Servers.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
Step 10- Make the needed changes in ViciDial GUI<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Login to the ViciDial Admin GUI and go to Admin > Servers and click on the server(s) that are dialers and change the conferencing engine to \u201cCONFBRIDGE\u201d as shown above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Step 11 \u2013 Add confbridge to manager.conf<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
nano \/etc\/asterisk\/manager.conf\nGo to the bottom and paste:\n\n[confcron]\nsecret = 1234\nread = command,reporting\nwrite = command,reporting\n\neventfilter=Event: Meetme\neventfilter=Event: Confbridge<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Step 12 – Fix the last bug to get “listen” and “barge” working<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
OK, so now we have to do some source code changes that will fix the issues with monitoring through the ViciDial real-time report. We’re going to be editing the non_agent_api.php in \/your web directory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For OpenSUSE its in \/srv\/www\/htdocs\/vicidial and for RedHat such as CentOS, Alma or Rocky its  in \/var\/www\/html\/vicidial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
nano \/var\/www\/html\/vicidial\/non_agent_api.php
Line 3295: Change vicidial_conferences to vicidial_confbridges like you see below:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n
You should now have your setup able to use confbridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
