What is the difference between Lite and Pro versions?
Asternic PRO updates data in real time (As soon as it is logged), while the LITE version uses a cron job to incorporate new data at scheduled intervals. PRO version includes several more reports, has access control and levels, search, agent reports, custom formulas, etc. The Lite version is free, licensed under GPL3, while the PRO version is commercial software. For a more in depth list of difference see this table
What benefits do I have on buying the PRO version?
State of the art reporting for your Asterisk Call Center! You will gain insights about your call/contact center operations. It also includes one year of software upgrades and priority support from the day you buy it.
Can I use my license in different servers?
The PRO license is to be used on one server only. You cannot use it on many different servers simultaneously. If you want to move your license from one server to a different one use the revoke procedure. The Devel license allows you to install it up to 5 servers into the same organization.
I have a trial license and I want to activate with my purchased code. How do I do it?
If you have a trial license, you must revoke it first by login in as an admin and selecting Setup => License, where you will see a Revoke button. Alternatively you can delete or rename the asterniclic.php file located into the Call Center Stats PRO web root directory, usually located in /var/www/html/stats/asterniclic.php. Then browse the software main page and it will ask you for a registration code again, put the one you received via email when you bought the license.
How much does the PRO version cost?
It costs u$s500 per server. There is no per seat license. That means that you can have unlimited queues, agents and users with it.
Can I monitor outbound campaigns or calls?
Yes. Asterisk call queues are inherently inbound, however, depending on the dialer you use, or even by creative use of the Asterisk dialplan you can monitor outbound calls, even by placing dialer calls inside a queue to be delivered to available agents, or by modifying your outbound calls context to add fake events to the queue_log whenever an outbound call is placed. We provide such context for Issabel or FreePBX based systems, and a generic README on how to use the same idea on any Asterisk installation.
Can I monitor Ring Groups?
No. Asternic Call Center Stats reports on Queues activities by means of the asterisk queue_log file. Ring groups do not log activity in the queue_log file.
I would like to test the Pro version features, is it possible?
Yes. Just follow the installation guide and fill the “Request Trial” form once installed. It will automatically retrieve a trial license file so you can test drive the software.
I use Trixbox/Elastix/Issabel/FreePBX and I see numbers instead of queue names?
FreePBX and Issabel use numbers for queue names internally, the reports display the real data. If you want to change that, the Pro version has dictionaries for queues or agent names.
I have a multi tenant environment, how does licensing work?
Asternic Call Center Stats PRO has a non nonsense license. You need only one license per server. That means that you can monitor multiple queues and agents, and have unlimited users accessing the reports.
Why do I not see any Agents or Queues for selection?
Asternic Call Center Stats PRO gathers information/knowledge from the Asterisk generated /var/log/asterisk/queue_log file. The asterniclog service will monitor that file and it will populate Asternic databases when information is logged into that file. Knowing that, there are two possible reasons you are not seeing any queues or agents for selection once you log into Asternic: The asterniclog service is not running, or your queue_log file is empty or not populated yet The user you used to log does not have any allowed agents or queues to be shown In the former case, be sure to check the status of the service:
Change names to queues and agents
Method to change names to Queues and/or Agents. Sometimes queue names and agent names needs to be changed to be more human readable. This video will teach you how to do that in Call Center Stats PRO. (Full screen and 720p recommended)

How to repair tables after a MySQL crash
Sometimes MySQL crashes. The most usual case is a hard disk getting full. When that happens, you will have database tables marked as crashed and Asternic won’t work correctly (or it will not update data), even after you make room on your hard disk again. To find out if some your tables are marked as crashed you can run these commands: mysql -u root -p qstats -e "select * from queue_stats limit 10" mysql -u root -p qstats -e "select * from queue_stats_mv limit 10" mysql -u root -p qstats -e "select * from recordings limit 10" If any of those returns an error saying that the table is marked as “crashed”, then you must repair them with the following commands:
How to track outbound calls on a FreePBX/Issabel based system
Asternic CCStats will report queue based activity. That means that only inbound calls that go into queues will be reported. However, there is a method to enable outbound call tracking by using a custom dialplan that intercepts outbound trunks calls under FreePBX and updates the queue_log file with their activity. The included dialplan will only track calls for extensions that have an account code set inside FreePBX preferences. If you use the pinset module, or any other module that uses account codes, it will conflict with the included outbound track dialplan.
How to change the log rotation policy on FreePBX
FreePBX© distro has a poor log rotation policy by default: it will rotate the file daily and keep only 30 days worth of data. That means that whenever you install any queue stats or metrics package you will only have 30 days worth of data to analyse. It also means that you won’t have the source logs as backups if anything wrong happens to your database. Our advise is to use a more sensitive log rotation policy: monthly rotation, leaving 36 months worth of data.
How to remove plus signs from CallerID in FreePBX
Many times Incoming phone calls (especially on SIP trunks) will contain a “+” on the CallerID. This can be annoying for users who try to call back numbers from their call history on their phones. The following solution fixes this problem at the root. Edit /etc/asterisk/extensions_custom.conf and add the following custom context to it: [from-trunk-remove-plus] exten => _X!,1,GotoIf($["${CALLERID(num):0:2}" != "+1"]?noplusatstart) exten => _X!,n,Set(CALLERID(num)=${CALLERID(num):1}) exten => _X!,n(noplusatstart),Goto(from-trunk,${EXTEN},1) By default. Incoming phone calls that are coming from some sort of trunk are going to be placed inside the “from-trunk” context.
How to load the realtime view automatically for a wallboard display
Sometimes you want to setup a special display or monitor to show realtime activity as a wallboard in a room. In those cases, the computer will start a browser automatically, with no human interaction. Asternic can load a page using GET parameters directly, so you can use it as the initial URL in a browser configuration, so it loads realtime with no intervention. The URL should be similar to this:
How to change a report cell format based on its value
Sometimes you might want to change the display format of a value in a report based on its contents or data. For example, in the realtime queue summary report, you might want to show abandoned calls in bold/red when they reach certain limit. This can be achieved via report designer and a little bit of programming. Report Designer You can define a format via report designer with the value being a php function call, something like this:
How to send an email when a call is abandoned or times out
Since Asternic Stats PRO version 2.1.0, there is a new option in the asterniclog service to run custom scripts whenever the queue_log file is updated. This can be useful if you want to perform some task whenever a certain event is recorded in queue_log. The command line option for specifying that script is -t and should be followed by the full path of your custom script. That script will be executed any time something is written in the queue_log file, you can add logic into that script to perform any kind of action like sending an email.
How to remove data older than certain date?
With time, stats database can grow large and you might want to clean it up because is data you no longer need and makes your queries slow. You can write a cron job that will run every day and removes entries older than a year. Create a file named /etc/cron.daily/cleanqstats with this content: #!/bin/bash mysql -u qstatsUser -pqstatsPassw0rd qstats -e "DELETE FROM queue_stats WHERE datetime < DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 12 MONTH);" mysql -u qstatsUser -pqstatsPassw0rd qstats -e "DELETE FROM queue_stats_mv WHERE datetime < DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 12 MONTH);" mysql -u qstatsUser -pqstatsPassw0rd qstats -e "DELETE FROM agent_activity WHERE datetime < DATE_SUB(CURDATE(), INTERVAL 12 MONTH);" Then be sure to give execute permissions to it:
How to reset/purge Asternic Call Center Stats tables to zero
If you want to reset the statistics on some installation and start from zero, you will need to perform a couple of steps: First of all, you want to tell Asterisk to start a new queue activity log file (as it might have that old data you do not want to see). You can do that by rotating the logs, using this command: asterisk -rx "logger reload" Once your log file is clean, it is time to work on the Asternic side of things.
How to report dialed numbers by Elastix Dialer
When originating calls from the Elastix Dialer, the dialed number is not registered in the queue_log file, thus is not available on Asternic generated reports. The attached patch will modify the dialer so it sets the CallerID to the dialed number, in this way the queue_log will reflect the callerid and Asternic will be able to show it. --- DialerProcess.class.php.original 2012-07-16 18:46:14.000000000 -0300 +++ DialerProcess.class.php 2012-07-16 18:58:11.000000000 -0300 @@ -1165,7 +1165,7 @@ $sCanalTrunk, NULL, NULL, NULL, "Wait" , "5" , NULL, - (isset($datosTrunk['CID']) ?
Pause queue members patch for FreePBX versions (>=2.11)
Sympton Even if you pause members on FreePBX by dialing feature codes, you do not see those pauses reported on Asternic. Reason Some FreePBX versions, for some odd reason, use device states to ‘pause’ queue members, without issuing an actual queue pause state in the queue application. How to fix this? If you use FreePBX and builtin feature codes to pause/unpause members, but they do not show on Asternic reports or realtime view, then this might help you.
How to reparse old or unprocessed queue_log files?
By default, the asterniclog log parser will skip processing for log entries that are older than the last event available in the database. This is done for performance reasons, as you do not want the computer wasting CPU time trying to insert data that was already inserted before. But sometimes a table gets corrupted and some entries are not parserd/incorporated, and you want to process old log files to incorporate that information into the database.
Installing Asternic Call Center Stats PRO on a separate server
Asternic Call Center Stats PRO is a networked application. As such it can be installed on the same server where Asterisk resides, or it can be installed on a standalone/separate server also. This guide will use as an example the following IP addresses: Asterisk Server: 192.168.10.1 CCStats Server: 192.168.10.10 When installing on a remote/standalone server, there are some complications/gotchas to take into consideration: f you want to make recordings available via Asternic Web reports, you won’t be able to do so via standard tools/scripts, as the recordings will be stored on a different server than Asternic CCStats web server.
How to install/use Asternic Call Center Stats with a Yeastar MyPBX Box
If you have a Yeastar MyPBX embeded machine for your telephony solution, you can still use Asternic Call Center Stats to have good reporting on your queue activity. The only catch is that you must install Asternic on a separate Linux server as the little box does not have a robust and large enough permanent storage for the data. So, first of all, you must have a Linux box ready with Apache, PHP and MySQL installed.
How to remove agents or queues from Reports
Asternic Call Center Stats is a reporting application. As such, anything that gets logged as activity for your queues will have its place on the reports, and it will stay there for historic reasons. That means that you can have an agent today taking calls, but that agent might be gone next month. However, that agent and all data associated will remain in the reports even when the agent is not part of your organization anymore.
How to recreate the queue_log file from database data
The following MySQL query can be used to generate a queue_log file based on the data stored in Asternic MySQL tables, this is useful if you want to upgrade to a new version, or move Asternic to another server when you cannot dump the complete database, or passing the data from lite to pro versions. The query to run in Asternic Lite and Asternic PRO versions older than 2.0.0: SELECT unix_timestamp(datetime),uniqueid,queue,agent,event,info1,info2,info3,info4 FROM queue_stats q INNER JOIN qname ON qname = qname.
How to block incorrect login attempts (dictionary attacks) using Fail2Ban
If your Asternic CCStats installation is exposed to the public Internet, your server will be the target for multiple atacks, including possible password dictionary attacks. You can use Fail2Ban on your server to proactively deny access to those attempting multiple bad login attempts, by creating some special configurations into it. On a standard Fail2Ban installation on Centos/Redhat based systems, you should do the following: Create the file /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/asternic.conf With this content:
