 We've gone away from VMs altogether.

 I use openVZ to run multiple asterisks on the same server. This works
 well and has done for some time. But currently once a week for about
 10-15 minutes calls sound like packetloss/jitter occurs. But a week of
 traffic captures is heavy... So I need to automate this.

  

 To monitor the traffic, you can use voipmonitor.org
 http://voipmonitor.org


 We purchased the commercial version with a GUI and will tell you that
 the cost/benefit is very clear.  Great tool, pretty cheap ($1k I
 think).  Responsive support.

 Sounds very reasonable. Do you run this on a dedicated server, and
 configured the switch to duplicate the traffic to the quality server?
 Or do you run this on the same server as asterisk?

 Thanks for the suggestions!

I contacted them and will use a server connected to a switch-port in
mirroring mode. The gui seems like a great tool in troubleshooting.

Nobody uses the rtcp-stats in asterisk for quality monitoring?

Other suggestions?

Cheap dedicated server with a span port on the switch.  We *never* run
anything other than Asterisk on a production voice server.

[asterisk-users] Monitoring voice-quality with sip/rtp/rtcp

2012-04-09 Thread Johan Wilfer
After some customer complaints I find myself tcpdumping, gzipping and
transferring large packagedumps over the network to be analyzed.

While this manual process isn't a long-term solution, I'm evaluating
different options. Aside from the manual thing I could see two variants:
 - Dump the traffic (on the server or another via switch port
mirroring/monitoring) and analyze it with tshark
 - Analyze the traffic in asterisk

How do you monitor call quality for you services? (Right now I use
asterisk 1.4, but are in the process to migrate to 1.8 or 10.) I looking
for some ideas to setup this so I can eliminate this manual and
time-consuming process in the future. And know about the problems before
the customer complains about the quality..


Thanks in advance!

At first, if your Asterisk is in a VM install it on the real server, it 
solved us on some installations.

OpenVZ is not really virtualisation, though for some reason people insist on 
throwing it into the same discursive space as Xen, VMware, HyperV, etc.
