[Asterisk-Users] Realtime Replication of a Single File
List users, Please provide me with tips on how to replicate a single file to a separate machine as changes are made to it. I would prefer a method that reacts to file modifications (ie. FAM/gamin) as opposed to timed loops/polling (cron + rsync). I'd also like to avoid NFS altogether. Keeping resource consumption low on the source machine is a priority. A bit of research has lead me to believe that calling rsync when gamin is alerted to a file modification would be a good fit for my scenario, but I'm unclear on the easiest implementation. My scenario is as follows. I have a machine that runs Asterisk VoIP PBX software. Asterisk creates a log file that we generate reports off of. Another machine handles the generation of these reports, which involves significant number crunching and file I/O. By replicating the file on the reporting machine, I'd like to decouple the resource consumption of reporting from the VoIP server. Some of the reports are used to monitor activities in realtime, so cronning off rsync on a large time interval is not an option.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Realtime Replication of a Single File
This sounds like a prime candidate for a database implementation. That way you can get very near real-time stats without the overhead of frequent cronjobs or polling. You number crunching computer would then just grab the data and crunch away. I'm just now getting started on using Asterisk in the more advanced modes (ie Realtime) so I do not know how to implement this, but I'm sure that it could be done.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Realtime Replication of a Single File
I think Ryan is right. We have been using Realtime + mysql. We also run reports in realtime that query the mysql db, particularly the cdr table. Al this runs in realtime, which is very important for reporting. It not very cpu, mem intensive. yusuf This sounds like a prime candidate for a database implementation.
