I have a general question. I am running a support call center. Our current set up consists of a Ring Group which is what calls into our support number terminate to. When I look at the Call Logs under Reports, I can see incoming calls coming in to destination 500, which is the Ring Group.
My question is, is there a way to determine which actual extension in the ring group actually picked up?
If you’re running a call center, you’ll probably want to use the Queues module instead of Ring Groups.
The FreePBX call logs don’t appear to show who answers a call that goes to a Ring Group, but I’m certain you could find out who answered a call in the Asterisk log if you needed to. The asterisk logs are located here:
/var/log/asterisk
today’s log is called

Yesterday’s log is
full.1
The day before that is
full.2
and so on.
To view the log, execute the following commands at the Linux Command Prompt:
