Voiprecoder, VoipSweeper and SIP Recorder FailOver config

[Leon van Heerden]

The Failover facility allows 2 recording servers that are recording the same set of extensions to be configured in a Master and Slave configuration. The MASTER's recordings will always be uploaded to the Amethyst server and the SLAVE recordings will be deleted once it has been confirmed as recorded by the MASTER. If the MASTER goes down, the SLAVE recording are upload to the Amethyst server.

Minimum versions required to configure fail over:

Code: Select all

VoipRecoder: 1.6.4.26
VoipSweeper: 1.6.4.31
SipRecorder: 1.6.4.39

Each application now has a FAILOVER section in the INI file.

Recorder INI file on master

Code: Select all

[FAILOVER]
MASTER=1
LISTENPORT=37002
OTHERHOST=x.x.x.x
OTHERPORT=37003

Sweeper INI file on master

Code: Select all

[FAILOVER]
MASTER=1
LISTENPORT=37004
OTHERHOST=x.x.x.x
OTHERPORT=37005

Recorder INI file on slave

Code: Select all

[FAILOVER]
MASTER=0
LISTENPORT=37003
OTHERHOST=y.y.y.y
OTHERPORT=37002

Sweeper INI file on slave

Code: Select all

[FAILOVER]
MASTER=0
LISTENPORT=37005
OTHERHOST=y.y.y.y
OTHERPORT=37004

Because the VoIPSweeper normally used the VoIPRecorder INI file, and the FAILOVER sections cannot be shared, the VoIPSweeper was changed to use its own INI file - voipsweeper.ini.
