Hi everyone,
Does anyone know a way of recording the traffic (audio) in / out of the node and saving it as a file ( MP3 or whatever ) on the node hard drive?
Something along the lines of Scanrec, which is a windows application with built in Vox and timestamps, would be ideal but I wanted to avoid having another machine involved.
Anyone any ideas or thoughts on how this could be done - I should add that I’m a complete newbie!
Thanks in advance for any replies.

There is an Asterisk Record command (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Record)
and a Monitor command (http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/Asterisk+cmd+Monitor)
– maybe that will get you started.

If there's a soundcard built into the system, you could use that to record the audio from the node, Connect the audio from the Asterisk system to a Y splitter, so you can pick the audio off and feed it to the Line In on the soundcard. Then there's a bunch of commandline programs that could be used to record, or alternatively, setup a streaming audio feed.

Hi Matt,
As you know I'm very familiar with asterisk but not yet conversant with app_rpt !
the asterisk "monitor" command should do exactly what you want
see Description, Commands and Examples of Asterisk Cmd Monitor

Rodger,
The 'locate' command can be used to find it.
It's in /usr/src/EVB/ast_base/asterisk-1.4.21.2/configs/rpt.conf.sample
You're right that we should make an obvious link to it in the web

Thanks to everyone who replied.
I’ve found it now and it works a treat!
Are there any other options I can use with that command, for example, to change to MP3 format or something?
If not, no problem - its working well and seems to require about 8Kb / sec of disc space, which equates to almost 700 hours for a 20Gb partition…
Cool! Thanks,

convert to MP3 in real time on a telecom system? Surely you jest :-). The cpu time required for that (especially on smaller systems) would be MOST prohibitive.
Therefore, its really designed to have a queue of native format messages (and log files, also) get copied to a larger server on a periodic basis and let the
large server with big CPU’s handle the MP3 crunching.

Ah, yeah, you’re right Jim. Didnt think of that one!
My excuse, its getting late here in England 
As it is, I’m just happy its there for me and working great. Its a steep learning curve for me but the more I learn about Allstar / appRpt the more I like it.
Cheers guys,

Hey Jim,
Ever the voice of controversy - I disagree with you. LAME encodes at
faster than real-time on reasonable spec hardware (P3 2.4Ghz for
example will do 2x 48Khz streams). For example, to capture directly
from a sound device and write to MP3 natively you can use sox to do the
I/O and pipe it to lame, as below.
sox -t ossdsp -w -s -r 44100 -c 2 /dev/dsp -t raw - | lame -x -m s -
.filenamedate +%b%d_%H%M%P_%Y.mp3
I don’t know how “accessible” the raw commands are to app_rpt but it
shouldn’t be too tricky to do…

</details>Jon,
I agree. In my experience, most any recent CPU has enough horsepower to
easily keep up with real-time mp3 encoding.....Particularly if you aren't
trying to encode "audiophile" quality mp3's! ....I haven't tried to get
asterisk to do this, though.
