[Freeswitch-users] Mod_distributor question

Discussion:

Dear users,

I'm trying to figure out how this mod_distributor works. I've a few
questions to help me get this going.

I've defined two of my gateways in the distributor.conf.xml like this:

<configuration name="distributor.conf" description="Distributor
Configuration">
<lists>
<list name="GWLB" total-weight="2">
<node name="OpenSIPS-A" weight="1"/>
<node name="OpenSIPS-B" weight="1"/>
</list>
</lists>
</configuration>

and so when I reload the distributor from API I get the following warning:

freeswitch at internal> distributor_ctl reload
+ok reloaded.
2013-08-06 14:17:16.652087 [WARNING] mod_distributor.c:201 Total weight
does not add up to total weight 10

So I've changed the total-weight to 10, and set weight of each node as 5.
That gives the same warning as well.

A Warning is fine, but as soon as I just use API to expand the list I get a
proper gateway name for the first two times only and then -err starts
showing up until I reload the distributor.

freeswitch at internal> expand distributor GWLB
OpenSIPS-A
freeswitch at internal> expand distributor GWLB
OpenSIPS-B
freeswitch at internal> expand distributor GWLB
-err
freeswitch at internal> expand distributor GWLB
-err
freeswitch at internal>

The last question is regarding use of this distributor from LUA script.

I call in the distributor like this from my LUA.

session =
freeswitch.Session("{ignore_early_media=true,origination_caller_id_number="..outbound_cli.."}sofia/gateway/${distributor(GWLB)}/"..
phone_number);

and that gives a straight error:

[ERR] mod_sofia.c:4668 Invalid Gateway '%{distributor(GWLB)}'

I hope somebody can share their knowledge on this module and help me move
forward with my project.

Best Regards,
Sammy

Hi,
Total Weight 2 and nodes weight as 1/1 was fine . you should do first
"reloadxml" and then "distributor_ctl reload"

Dear Saboor,

Thanks for the quick reply, to share my luck with this, I'v even tried a
complete restart of freeswitch after trying reloadxml and sofia module
reloading as well.

The total-weight Warning even if I configured it with 2 made me think that
I'm probably changing in the wrong file but the API command to expand
distributor list gives results for the first two attempts so that is really
weird for me.

Just to add info, this is my FS version:

freeswitch at internal> version
FreeSWITCH Version 1.3.14b+git~20130305T150702Z~57d6495248 (git 57d6495

Hi Sammy,
its a news for me that even after restarting you are having invalid weight
warnings.
there is only one file to change i-e

/usr/local/freeswitch/conf/autoload_configs/distributor.xml

And reloadxml,distributor_ctl reload should work fine.

can you recheck file if sample list is still enabled as default configs
come with something like 10 i think.

Dear Saboor,

That is indeed weird since I did not want to load the test list in the file
and hence used my own list. Reading your comment I put the test list back
in and my first two issues are resolved. No warning and no -err on
expanding the lists now. Its working now; strange for me.

Anyway, the last question still needs some help which is using this in LUA
script.

Best Regards,
Sammy

Hi
i am not sure about lua so may be some other friend can help . but one
thing i can see that you are trying to call a freeswitch variable inside a
lua string so may be its the reason its not doing as you are expecting.
If you share your lua code may be someone here can help .

Thanks
Ahmed

Thank you Saboor,

I'm not sure I understood what you meant by calling FS variable inside LUA.
I call my LUA script from luarun BGAPI command over ESL and hence no XML
dialplan loads this script.

I have made this work alternatively by calling "eval ${distributor(GWLB)}"
command from the LUA script using freeswitch.API().

These two lines got me the required gateway:

fs_api = freeswitch.API();
gateway = fs_api:executeString("eval ${distributor(GWLB)}");

I am feeling this as an overhead since its an Auto-dialer LUA application
and is called about couple hundred times a second.

If anyone can advise that'll be great.

Best Regards,
Sammy
