Archivedir not captureing node traffic

I put archivedir into my ASL3 install.

It capture audio from a) station ids and anyone who has come INTO my node. It does not capture anything originating when I call directly into the node (I have an antenna hat with a freq of xxxx pl yyyy).

The config entries are:

archivedir=/var/log/asterisk/audio
archiveaudio=1 ; 0 Disable saving .wav files

Any ideas?

What’s the node configuration? Radio-less? simplex? voter?
archiveaudio won’t capture anything sent directly to the node if duplex=3, in my experience.
To get around that on a node that was configured this way, I set up a second private node on the same system with archiving, then connected the two.

Try adding a trailing “/” to the end of your archivedir entry. e.g.

archivedir = /var/log/asterisk/audio/

Make sure user “asterisk” owns or has write permission for that directory path. A new directory for your node number will be created under that path containing the audio files.

WD5M - followed your instructions. Rebooted server. It recreated "…/audio/62499/

Same issue…

Thanks

Make sure you are using the latest revision of the software.

Latest and greatest version.

It’s been a longstanding issue for local audio. I haven’t heard anything that can fix it (yet), other than standing up a second node (even private, in the same hardware) and permalinking the two and archiving off of that node instead.

Trying to do that (2nd private node on same Pi) but not able to connect between private node and anything or the public node and the private.

Any ideas?

I did a workaround, suggested by someone that has my node traffic go through my private node. This seems to work.
