I had two phone calls drop. Both people were on hold. It happened at 11:28 am this morning. If I wasn’t anywhere near equipment, is there any way to pull up logs for around that time and what am i looking for in regards to why calls would be dropped. The two callers were on hold with the callee.
/var/log/asterisk/full
Look for the timestamp around the time of the call drops.
I found the log and the call in question, both in cdr and call log. Nothing shows out of the ordinary. I don’t understand these logs. Any help appreciated.
Look at the same time in
/var/log/messages
Post the asterisk log pertaining to the call.
nothing for that time stamp except this
Sep 10 11:27:24 pbx php: /sbin/iptables -D fpbxregistrations -s 64.2.142.107/32 -j fpbxknownreg
the call was only 25 seconds but full of info. How do i condense it?
Post the last part, it should show how it ended, whether it was a “normal” hang-up, or if it was caused by some “abnormality” like for example no RTP during 30 seconds.
I have this log

this is from cdr reports
But that is not the log for the call. Post the log for the call.
is there any way to condense so it doesnt fill up entire screen of log?
The cdr records are more terse than thevcel records
Either post the last part of the call, when it ends, or use something like pastebin
Quite a long log. You need to help us help you. Please describe the call so we can try to identify what happened: internal or external call, extensions involved, etc.
How to isolate log lines for a specific call and share via pastebin:

Caller called into ring group 600. It rings to about 6 phones before x1000 picks it up. She puts him on hold to call another extension, but when she comes back to him, he isnt there. He says he got disconnected. It was an external call from 5095901155.
thank you
Go into SIP Settings and check the value you have under “RTP Hold Timeout”. Mine is set to 2700. If this value is too small, your call will disconnect while on hold in a short time. The default is 5 minutes I believe which is 300. If you’ve placed a smaller value like 10 in there, your calls on hold won’t stay on hold for long.
If that is not the issue, ask your caller if they are calling from a cell phone. I did not see any errors in your log, and often when that happens it’s the caller who disconnected. It’s not always your system. Cell phones can be bad for losing signal, especially if the caller is driving while on the call. They drive by a big building and lose signal. Or they walk into an elevator and lose signal. If these callers tell you that they are on a cell phone and your “RTP Hold Timeout” has a big value like 2700 (45 minutes), then I’d say the cell phone disconnected.
Some callers are impatient and hate being placed on hold. They will hang up and call back and lie and say they were cut off because they will never admit that they are impatient and called back.
