thanks, it is good see there is a wayto start with -A... and it might make it easier a little (cause i use the define as the group the server belongs to). but, it doesn't help me fully in my case. i would like to have a generic start, and generic cfg file (it is much easier when you need to maintain). the best thing i would like to do is something like that: let say i have "route on start" or "get data from DB on start"... then, i set something like: get "myself" from list of kamailio servers" and set my group to "the value set on me" it seems to me something very usefull, when you use 2 and more kamailio at different sites, and still want a generic code and functions. if i was a programer... i might try to write some module :-) thanks anyway, Uri On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 2:51 PM, Daniel-Constantin Mierla <miconda(a)gmail.com

thanks, i will try it. probably the best way i have. did you use the CFG_DB module somewhere? BR, -------------- Hi, you can easily use command substitution e.g. -A $(hostname) in your script which starts kamailio or use mysql batch query to retrieve the result if you wish to store it in database.

thanks. i find the htable module a little confusing, or a little harder to understand. (although i said so on the mtree and today i find myself using it a lot). but, i notice at the end of the doc at section 7 to the "event_route[htable:mod-init]". i wonder, if i just load the htable module, and on this route, perform an SQL query and save the values in $shv(), will it do the trick? cheers, uri On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 5:34 PM, Daniel-Constantin Mierla &lt;miconda(a)gmail.com > Hello, > > > On 2/10/12 2:32 PM, Uri Shacked wrote: > > thanks, > it is good see there is a wayto start with -A... and it might make it > easier a little (cause i use the define as the group the server belongs to). > but, it doesn't help me fully in my case. > i would like to have a generic start, and generic cfg file (it is much > easier when you need to maintain). > the best thing i would like to do is something like that: > > let say i have "route on start" or "get data from DB on start"... then, i > set something like: > > get "myself" > from list of kamailio servers" > and set my group to "the value set on me" > it seems to me something very usefull, when you use 2 and more kamailio at > different sites, and still want a generic code and functions. > > if i was a programer... i might try to write some module :-) > > you can load values from a database table via htable module and then use > them to build the logic -- htable values are accessible via $sht(...). > > Cheers, > Daniel > > > thanks anyway, > Uri > > > On Fri, Feb 10, 2012 at 2:51 PM, Daniel-Constantin Mierla < > miconda(a)gmail.com> >> Hello, >> >> you can use defines to control the order (the values of NP servers), here >> is an example of defining NP servers (to str value, for sake of >> explanation): >> >> #!ifdef SRV1 >> #!define NPSRV1 "abc" >> #!define NPSRV2 "xyz" >> #!else >> #!define NPSRV2 "abc" >> #!define NPSRV1 "xyz" >> #!endif >> >> and start kamailio with parameter '-A SRV1' for the first instance. >> >> Cheers, >> Daniel >> >> >> >> On 2/10/12 6:28 AM, Uri Shacked wrote: >> >> Hi again... >> (i do find myself ask many questions these days.... :-)) >> >> well, now here is one more: >> >> i have 2 kamailio servers that i use in 2 locations. both use the same >> tables and DBURL. >> each of my server turns to a number portability (NP) server at its same >> location. >> for example, if server 1 has the call, it will turn to NP server 1 with >> the >> query, and if the query fails, it will then turn to NP server 2. >> the kamailio server 2 does the same. but, turns to NP server 2 first and >> if >> it fails, to NP server 1. >> >> once this is understood.... >> >> here is my issue - i want to have 1 generic cfg file for my 2 servers. >> today, i use the same cfg file, but in server 1 i set it in the cfg to its >> group, and on server 2 the same but a different group.... >> >> i tried to understand how do i get each server to "pull" its group from >> the >> DB. something like "what is my group when my IP is X.Y.Z.Q ? >> i raed the cfg_db module but didn't understand how to set it on my cfg >> file >> and on the DB. >> >> what is the best way to do what i want? >> hope i was clear.... >> >> BR, >> thanks to all the guys that help me so far, i appriciate it a lot! >> Uri >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing listsr-users@lists.sip-router.orghttp://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users >> >> >> -- >> Daniel-Constantin Mierla -- http://www.asipto.comhttp://linkedin.com/in/miconda -- http://twitter.com/miconda >> >> > > > _______________________________________________ > SIP Express Router (SER) and Kamailio (OpenSER) - sr-users mailing listsr-users@lists.sip-router.orghttp://lists.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sr-users > > > -- > Daniel-Constantin Mierla -- http://www.asipto.comhttp://linkedin.com/in/miconda -- http://twitter.com/miconda > >

Hello, On 2/13/12 7:48 PM, Uri Shacked wrote: you have to understand first the structures behind it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table In few words, it is a generic storage in shared memory, of pairs (key, value) -- the key is a string and the value can be string or integer. $sht(x=>a) = "b"; -- this means storing in hash table 'x' a pair ("a", "b"), getting the value is just using $sht(x=>a) The items in a hash table can be loaded from a database table at startup, you don't need event_route[htable:mod-init] and sqlops for that.
