Hello,

first, thanks for publishing the extensions to the public space.

If you want, you can include the module in the GIT repository of Kamailio. It will make installation easier, being part of the default source tree and packaged in releases.

If you are interested in maintaining it in our git repository, write me to sort out development access.

Cheers,
Daniel

Hello Alex, Camila, list,

I'm replying this old thread to follow the sequence of the conversation.

With two months of delay, I would like to share the credit control module we talked about with the hope of helping somehow to the community with this contribution.

The project has three parts:

- The module itself: https://github.com/caruizdiaz/cnxcc
- The web interface: https://github.com/caruizdiaz/cnxcc-web
- A helper script: https://github.com/caruizdiaz/cnxcc-db-sync

Mixed together, we have a ready-to-use credit control monitoring tool.

Regards,

Thanks! I'll start a new thread and I'll put the code on github.

If it turns to be actually useful to the community, it would be great, but if not, it will be a good learning material for the developers coming, because it covers important topics on Kamalio's Core Development :D.

Best regards.

That is indeed a rather sophisticated superset of what I've been working on!  I look forward to this contribution.

Hello Camila, Alex.

I wrote a module that you may find useful for this purpose and which I'm
planning to release in the next few days.

Please allow me to introduce its features:

- It relies on the dialog module to track the calls it handles

- You can group calls by an ID, which can be the client ID, profile ID
or whatever value you want as long as it uniquely identify a group of calls.

- You can have several calls consuming the same pool of credit at the
same time. Every call belongs to a call-group. A call-group can have one
or more calls.

- When the credit (time) is exhausted, all calls of the same call-group
are automatically finalized.

- An event_route is fired for every call forced to finalize. It contains
a faked SIP message but with the right call-id and tags of the call
forced to end. This may be useful for back-office operations such as
billing, logging, rtpproxy tear down, etc.

- It exposes 3 xmlrpc commands:
           1. to monitor the calls grouped by call-group.
           2. to monitor the calls of a certain call-group.
           3. to finalize a call.

- It has a (very ugly, but improvable) web interface for real time
monitoring using the 3 xmlrpc commands. You can see on line what's
happening in the module and you can terminate calls through it.

- It was designed to be maintained in RAM.

- I'm adding other ways to make the credit control, not only with
timeout in seconds, but with credit amount, cost per second, cadence,
rate, etc.

We at conexiongroup <http://www.conexiongroup.com/> are making the final

arrangements to release the source code and hopefully, it will be
helpful to you or to other people that might have faced the same
problems we had and which took us to the decision of writing this code.
Regards.

Carlos.

    Not presently, but I am actually working on an enhancement to the

        Hi,

        I have a kamailio proxy server that´s controlling the limit of calls
        that clients can make with profile grouping. In other side I
        also limit
        clients call duration  base on users credit ( DATABASE)  and
        /timeout
        /feature .


        Before the calls get answer I calculate how much time the client has
        left for this call and set the timeout variable. When the time is
        reached the proxy sends BYEs two both sides of this call.

        I want when the call timeout, as before explain, all other calls
        in the
        same profile end too, because the client has expired his credit.

        Is there a way to achieve this?

        Regards,

        Camila
