Asterisk Project : Application_Monitor This page last changed on Mar 30, 2011 by wikibot. # Monitor() ### Synopsis Monitor a channel. ### Description Used to start monitoring a channel. The channel's input and output voice packets are logged to files until the channel hangs up or monitoring is stopped by the StopMonitor application. By default, files are stored to `/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/`. Returns `-1` if monitor files can't be opened or if the channel is already monitored, otherwise `0`. ### Syntax
    Monitor([file_format[:urlbase][,fname_base[,options]]])
##### Arguments `file_format` `file_format` - optional, if not set, defaults to `wav` `urlbase` `fname_base` - if set, changes the filename used to the one specified. `options` `m` - when the recording ends mix the two leg files into one and delete the two leg files. If the variable `MONITOR_EXEC` is set, the application referenced in it will be executed instead of soxmix/sox and the raw leg files will NOT be deleted automatically. soxmix/sox or `MONITOR_EXEC` is handed 3 arguments, the two leg files and a target mixed file name which is the same as the leg file names only without the in/out designator. If `MONITOR_EXEC_ARGS` is set, the contents will be passed on as additional arguments to `MONITOR_EXEC`. Both `MONITOR_EXEC` and the Mix flag can be set from the administrator interface. `b` - Don't begin recording unless a call is bridged to another channel. `i` - Skip recording of input stream (disables `m` option). `o` - Skip recording of output stream (disables `m` option). ### See Also Application_StopMonitor ### Import Version This documentation was imported from Asterisk version SVN-branch-1.8-r311874.
