[SR-Users] Trouble getting start time / call duration from dialog module

[Will Ferrer]

Hi Daniel

Thanks so much for the response and help as always.

I tried changing my config to use loose route.

It looks like this now:

loadmodule "dialog.so"

...
modparam("dialog", "db_url", DBURL)
modparam("dialog", "db_mode", 1)
modparam("dialog", "dlg_flag", 4)
modparam("dialog", "dlg_match_mode", 1)

...

request_route {
        if (is_method("INVITE") && (! has_totag() ) ) {
dlg_manage();
xlog ("L_INFO", "request_route DIALOG TEST: Dialog initiated");
        }
if (is_method("BYE")) {
#dlg_manage();
loose_route();
$var(elapsed) = ( $TV(s) - $dlg(start_ts) );
xlog ("L_INFO", "request_route DIALOG TEST: Completed $dlg(from_uri) to
$dlg(to_uri), elapsed: $var(elapsed), now seconds: $TV(s), dlg start time:
$dlg(start_ts), DLG_lifetime: $DLG_lifetime");
        }
....

I now get:

INFO: <script>: request_route DIALOG TEST: Dialog initiate
INFO: <script>: request_route DIALOG TEST: Completed
sip:willf1976Test at develop-sbc.switchsoft.com to
sip:+18054515526 at develop-sbc.switchsoft.com, elapsed: 1421386898, now
seconds: 1421386898, dlg start time: 0, DLG_lifetime: 1421386898


So the $DLG_lifetime is being populated, but it has all the seconds since
epoch time. You can also see that the $dlg(start_ts) is 0.

I also tried using the dlg_manage() instead of the loose route in my test
and got the same result.

Any idea what might be missing?

Thanks again for your help.

All the best.

Will
