Asterisk postgresql voicemail

GETTING ODBC STORAGE WITH POSTGRESQL WORKING WITH VOICEMAIL

 

1) Install PostgreSQL, PostgreSQL-devel, unixODBC, and unixODBC-devel, and PostgreSQL-ODBC.  Make sure PostgreSQL is running and listening on a TCP socket.

 

2) Log into your server as root, and then type:

 

[root@localhost ~]# su - postgres

 

 

 

 

This will log you into the system as the "postgres" user, so that you can create a new role and database within the PostgreSQL database system.  At the new prompt, type:

$ createuser -s -D -R -l -P -e asterisk Enter password for new role: Enter it again: 

 

 

Obviously you should enter a password when prompted.  This creates the database role (or user).

Next we need to create the asterisk database.  Type:

$ createdb -O asterisk -e asterisk

This creates the database and sets the owner of the database to the asterisk role.

 

 

 

Next, make sure that you are using md5 authentication for the database user.  The line in my /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf looks like:

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only local   asterisk    asterisk                           md5 local   all         all                               ident sameuser # IPv4 local connections: host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          md5

As soon as you're done editing that file, log out as the postgres user.

 

 

 

3) Make sure you have the PostgreSQL odbc driver setup in /etc/odbcinst.ini. Mine looks like:

[PostgreSQL] Description     = ODBC for PostgreSQL Driver          = /usr/lib/libodbcpsql.so Setup           = /usr/lib/libodbcpsqlS.so FileUsage       = 1

You can confirm that unixODBC is seeing the driver by typing:

 

 

[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ odbcinst -q -d [PostgreSQL] 

 

4) Setup a DSN in /etc/odbc.ini, pointing at the PostgreSQL database and driver.  Mine looks like: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can confirm that unixODBC sees your DSN by typing:

[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ odbcinst -q -s

[testing]

 

 

5) Test your database connectivity through ODBC.  If this doesn't work, something is wrong with your ODBC setup.

[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ echo "select 1" | isql -v testing

+---------------------------------------+

| Connected!                               |

|                                     |

| sql-statement                            |

| help [tablename]                       |

| quit                                            |

|                                                   |

+---------------------------------------+

 

SQL>

+------------+ |

?column?      |

+------------+

| 1               |

+------------+

SQLRowCount returns 1

1 rows fetched

 

If your ODBC connectivity to PostgreSQL isn't working, you'll see an error message instead, like this: 

 

[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ echo "select 1" | isql -v testing

[S1000][unixODBC]Could not connect to the server; Could not connect to remote socket. [ISQL]ERROR: Could not SQLConnect bash: echo: write error: Broken pipe

 

6) Compile Asterisk with support for ODBC voicemail.  Go to your Asterisk source directory and run `make menuselect`.  Under "Voicemail Build Options", enable "ODBC_STORAGE". # See doc/README.odbcstorage for more information

Recompile Asterisk and install the new version.

7) Once you've recompiled and re-installed Asterisk, check to make sure res_odbc.so has been compiled.

localhost*CLI> show modules like res_odbc.so Module                         Description                              Use Count res_odbc.so                    ODBC Resource                            0 1 modules loade

 

8) Now it's time to get Asterisk configured.  First, we need to tell Asterisk about our ODBC setup.  Open /etc/asterisk/res_odbc.conf and add the following:

[postgres] enabled => yes dsn => testing pre-connect => yes

9) At the Asterisk CLI, unload and then load the res_odbc.so module.  (You could restart Asterisk as well, but this way makes it easier to tell what's happening.)  Notice how it says it's connected to "postgres", which is our ODBC connection as defined in res_odbc.conf, which points to the "testing" DSN in ODBC.

localhost*CLI> unload res_odbc.so Jan  2 21:19:36 WARNING[8130]: res_odbc.c:498 odbc_obj_disconnect: res_odbc: disconnected 0 from postgres [testing] Jan  2 21:19:36 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:589 unload_module: res_odbc unloaded. localhost*CLI> load res_odbc.so Loaded /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/res_odbc.so => (ODBC Resource) == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/res_odbc.conf': Found Jan  2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:266 load_odbc_config: Adding ENV var: INFORMIXSERVER=my_special_database Jan  2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:266 load_odbc_config: Adding ENV var: INFORMIXDIR=/opt/informix Jan  2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:295 load_odbc_config: registered database handle 'postgres' dsn->[testing] Jan  2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:555 odbc_obj_connect: Connecting postgres Jan  2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:570 odbc_obj_connect: res_odbc: Connected to postgres [testing] Jan  2 21:19:40 NOTICE[8130]: res_odbc.c:600 load_module: res_odbc loaded.

You can also check the status of your ODBC connection at any time from the Asterisk CLI:

localhost*CLI> odbc show Name: postgres DSN: testing Connected: yes

10) Now we can setup our voicemail table in PostgreSQL.  Log into PostgreSQL and type (or copy and paste) the following:

--

-- First, let's create our large object type, called "lo"

-- CREATE FUNCTION loin (cstring) RETURNS lo AS 'oidin' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT; CREATE FUNCTION loout (lo) RETURNS cstring AS 'oidout' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT; CREATE FUNCTION lorecv (internal) RETURNS lo AS 'oidrecv' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT; CREATE FUNCTION losend (lo) RETURNS bytea AS 'oidrecv' LANGUAGE internal IMMUTABLE STRICT;

CREATE TYPE lo ( INPUT = loin, OUTPUT = loout, RECEIVE = lorecv, SEND = losend, INTERNALLENGTH = 4, PASSEDBYVALUE ); CREATE CAST (lo AS oid) WITHOUT FUNCTION AS IMPLICIT; CREATE CAST (oid AS lo) WITHOUT FUNCTION AS IMPLICIT;

--

-- If we're not already using plpgsql, then let's use it!

-- CREATE TRUSTED LANGUAGE plpgsql;

--

-- Next, let's create a trigger to cleanup the large object table

-- whenever we update or delete a row from the voicemessages table

--

CREATE FUNCTION vm_lo_cleanup() RETURNS "trigger" AS $$

    declare msgcount INTEGER; begin

      --    raise notice 'Starting lo_cleanup function for large object with oid %',old.recording;

      -- If it is an update action but the BLOB (lo) field was not changed, dont do anything if (TG_OP = 'UPDATE') then if ((old.recording = new.recording) or (old.recording is NULL)) then raise notice 'Not cleaning up the large object table, as recording has not changed'; return new; end if; end if;

      if (old.recording IS NOT NULL) then SELECT INTO msgcount COUNT(*) AS COUNT FROM voicemessages WHERE recording = old.recording; if (msgcount > 0) then raise notice 'Not deleting record from the large object table, as object is still referenced'; return new; else perform lo_unlink(old.recording);

          if found then raise notice 'Cleaning up the large object table';

            return new; else raise exception 'Failed to cleanup the large object table';

            return old; end if; end if; else raise notice 'No need to cleanup the large object table, no recording on old row'; return new; end if; end$$

    LANGUAGE plpgsql;

--

-- Now, let's create our voicemessages table

-- This is what holds the voicemail from Asterisk

--

CREATE TABLE voicemessages ( uniqueid serial PRIMARY KEY,

  msgnum int4,

  dir varchar(80),

  context varchar(80),

  macrocontext varchar(80),

  callerid varchar(40),

  origtime varchar(40),

  duration varchar(20),

  flag varchar(8),

  mailboxuser varchar(80),

  mailboxcontext varchar(80),

  recording lo,

  label varchar(30),

  "read" bool DEFAULT false );

--

-- Let's not forget to make the voicemessages table use the trigger

--

CREATE TRIGGER vm_cleanup AFTER DELETE OR UPDATE ON voicemessages FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE vm_lo_cleanup();

11) Just as a sanity check, make sure you check the voicemessages table via the isql utility.

[jsmith2@localhost ODBC]$ echo "SELECT uniqueid, msgnum, dir, duration FROM voicemessages WHERE msgnum = 1" | isql testing +---------------------------------------+ | Connected!                            | |                                       | | sql-statement                         | | help [tablename]                      | | quit                                  | |                                       | +---------------------------------------+ SQL> +------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+ | id         | msgnum     | dir                                                                             | duration            | +------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+ +------------+------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+---------------------+ SQLRowCount returns 0

12) Now we can finally configure voicemail in Asterisk to use our database. Open /etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf, and look in the [general] section.  I've changed the format to gsm (as I can't seem to get WAV or wav working), and specify both the odbc connection and database table to use.

[general] ; Default formats for writing Voicemail ;format=g723sf|wav49|wav format=gsm odbcstorage=postgres odbctable=voicemessages

You'll also want to create a new voicemail context called "odbctest" to do some testing, and create a sample mailbox inside that context.  Add the following to the very bottom of voicemail.conf:

[odbctest] 101 => 5555,Example Mailbox

13) Once you've updated voicemail.conf, let's make the changes take effect:

localhost*CLI> unload app_voicemail.so == Unregistered application 'VoiceMail'

  == Unregistered application 'VoiceMailMain'

  == Unregistered application 'MailboxExists'

  == Unregistered application 'VMAuthenticate' localhost*CLI> load app_voicemail.so Loaded /usr/lib/asterisk/modules/app_voicemail.so => (Comedian Mail (Voicemail System)) == Registered application 'VoiceMail'

  == Registered application 'VoiceMailMain'

  == Registered application 'MailboxExists'

  == Registered application 'VMAuthenticate'

  == Parsing '/etc/asterisk/voicemail.conf': Found

You can check to make sure your new mailbox exists by typing:

localhost*CLI> show voicemail users for odbctest Context    Mbox  User                      Zone       NewMsg odbctest   101   Example Mailbox                           0

14) Now, let's add a new context called "odbc" to extensions.conf.  We'll use these extensions to do some testing:

[odbc] exten => 100,1,Voicemail(101@odbctest) exten => 200,1,VoicemailMain(101@odbctest)

15) Next, we need to point a phone at the odbc context.  In my case, I've got a SIP phone called "linksys" that is registering to Asterisk, so I'm setting its context to the [odbc] context we created in the previous step.  The relevant section of my sip.conf file looks like:

[linksys] type=friend secret=verysecret disallow=all allow=ulaw allow=gsm context=odbc host=dynamic qualify=yes

I can check to see that my linksys phone is registered with Asterisk correctly:

localhost*CLI> sip show peers like linksys Name/username              Host            Dyn Nat ACL Port     Status linksys/linksys            192.168.0.103    D          5060     OK (9 ms) 1 sip peers [1 online , 0 offline]

16) At last, we're finally ready to leave a voicemail message and have it stored in our database!  (Who'd have guessed it would be this much trouble?!?) Pick up the phone, dial extension 100, and leave yourself a voicemail message. In my case, this is what appeared on the Asterisk CLI:

localhost*CLI> 

    -- Executing VoiceMail("SIP/linksys-10228cac", "101@odbctest") in new stack

    -- Playing 'vm-intro' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'beep' (language 'en')

    -- Recording the message

    -- x=0, open writing:  /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/tmp/dlZunm format: gsm, 0x101f6534

    -- User ended message by pressing #

    -- Playing 'auth-thankyou' (language 'en') == Parsing '/var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/INBOX/msg0000.txt': Found

Now, we can check the database and make sure the record actually made it into PostgreSQL, from within the psql utility.

[jsmith2@localhost ~]$ psql Password: Welcome to psql 8.1.4, the PostgreSQL interactive terminal.

Type:  /copyright for distribution terms /h for help with SQL commands

       /? for help with psql commands

       /g or terminate with semicolon to execute query

       /q to quit

asterisk=# SELECT * FROM voicemessages; id | msgnum |                       dir                        | context | macrocontext |       callerid        |  origtime  | duration | mailboxuser | mailboxcontext | recording | label | read | sip_id | pabx_id | iax_id 

----+--------+--------------------------------------------------+---------+--------------+-----------------------+------------+----------+-------------+----------------+-----------+-------+------+--------+---------+-------- 26 |      0 | /var/spool/asterisk/voicemail/odbctest/101/INBOX | odbc    |              | "linksys" <linksys> | 1167794179 | 7        | 101         | odbctest       | 16599     |       | f    |        |         | (1 row)

Did you notice the the recording column is just a number?  When a recording gets stuck in the database, the audio isn't actually stored in the voicemessages table.  It's stored in a system table called the large object table.  We can look in the large object table and verify that the object actually exists there:

asterisk=# /lo_list Large objects ID   | Description 

-------+------------- 16599 | (1 row)

In my case, the OID is 16599.  Your OID will almost surely be different.  Just make sure the OID number in the recording column in the voicemessages table corresponds with a record in the large object table.  (The trigger we added to our voicemessages table was designed to make sure this is always the case.)

We can also pull a copy of the voicemail message back out of the database and write it to a file, to help us as we debug things:

asterisk=# /lo_export 16599 /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm lo_export

We can even listen to the file from the Linux command line:

[jsmith2@localhost tmp]$ play /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm

Input Filename : /tmp/odcb-16599.gsm Sample Size    : 8-bits Sample Encoding: gsm Channels       : 1 Sample Rate    : 8000

Time: 00:06.22 [00:00.00] of 00:00.00 (  0.0%) Output Buffer: 298.36K

Done.

17) Last but not least, we can pull the voicemail message back out of the database by dialing extension 200 and entering "5555" at the password prompt. You should see something like this on the Asterisk CLI:

localhost*CLI> 

    -- Executing VoiceMailMain("SIP/linksys-10228cac", "101@odbctest") in new stack

    -- Playing 'vm-password' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'vm-youhave' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'vm-repeat' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'vm-delete' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'vm-toforward' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'vm-savemessage' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'vm-helpexit' (language 'en')

    -- Playing 'vm-goodbye' (language 'en')

That's it!
