[SR-Users] Message Waiting

[Daniel W. Graham]

Ok, very good, and will watch the port number :)

Thanks for sharing your solution, it seems like a clean solution to the issue at hand. If anyone else is doing something different I'd love to hear as well.

Running with this solution for now, thanks again Charles.

Sipsak is generally what we use, although any similar tool should do it. Just watch the port numbers!

Cheers,

I read that right after I posted my next question, sorry for jumping the gun without doing some research. Do you mind me asking what method you use for generating the notifications, asterisk call file / sipsak / etc ?

The script you specify (e.g. externnotify=myscript.sh) runs every time a new message is left for a user or when a user exits the VoiceMailMain() application (for instance, if they have dialled in to clean up their mailbox).

The voicemail application passes certain things as parameters to your script such as number of new/old messages etc - for more info and example script take a look here: http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+config+voicemail.conf

Cheers,

Charles

Can you describe how your implementation works without having to scan directory/database for changes?

The script method works fine for us - but we use the externnotify option in voicemail.conf instead of scanning for changes at directory/database level.

While I have seen other posts I have not found anything that describes my scenario.

Kamailio sets in front of a group of asterisk servers which are used in a round robin dispatch group. All asterisk servers share a common database in which voicemail boxes are defined and messages are stored.

I'm looking for a way to make message waiting work in this example. I have tried creating a view with basic peer information for asterisk to use for message notification, however asterisk does not 'see' these peers until a call is made to the specific user and the peer info is retrieved from the database, which can delay notifications severely rendering them useless. I also want to avoid sending a copy of the registrations to asterisk servers, as the purpose of the distributed system is to eliminate the large number of sip registrations asterisk needs to manage.

I have also seen a couple of script methods that look at the voicemail directory structure for file changes and trigger an application like sipsak to generate the notifications and let kamailio relay them. From what I see, the consensus is not to go this route. In my case the script would need to look at the database level, and maybe some sort of database trigger could be used.

What are others doing / what do others recommend as the best way to handle message waiting with a situation where kamailio sets in front of a voicemail server?

Any input is appreciated.
