Kindly let me know if some one has an idea to implement this: I am not aware of an existing way to do this. By default, Asterisk does not appear to be able to dynamically change the priority of a queue, which seems to be what you are after. On one of my systems I implemented the patch at https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-17570 which, although it does not do exactly what you are after, it does help a great deal. Basically it dynamically increases the priority of callers based on their hold time across all queues, so that for a given agent they will be presented with the call having the longest wait time across all the queues they are a member of. This has made a big difference to our avg hold time, as queues are no longer competing against one anther for available agents. Hope this helps. -Barry Flanagan I have two Queues - Sales Booking I have 12 Agents who are added to both the queues Suppose there are 12 calls in the Booking Queue, and 6 calls in the Sales Queue.

Re: [asterisk-users] Queue Limit Callers
You should have different sets of agents logged in to different queues and you should have a monitor to move them from one queue to the other based on incoming traffic. l. 2013/6/17 Shanavaz E A shanava...@yahoo.com Hi, I have a requirement, which I am not sure whether it can be implemented.

Re: [asterisk-users] Queue Limit Callers
Hello Shanavaz., Please find some quick thoughts: * 2 main queues * agents logged on one or on both main queues * before sending a new call to one of the main queues check the number of waiting callers (QUEUE_WAITING_COUNT function) and divert (for example for 30 sec) the call on a empty members queue/parking slot/music-on-hold if the queue threshold is reached. The threshold could be read from a database, internal astdb or could be set as a global variable updated when agents login/logout/pause/unpause or could be dynamically computed based on QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT / QUEUE_MEMBER_LIST After the divert period is ended the call will return and the threshold is checked again, etc. This method have some negative impacts (the entry position number for calls over the threshold //origposition// will have no meaning, a newer call could be served before an older one, etc.) but you could manipulate the call flow exactly how you want.
