I have a scenario I’m not sure of the best way to
solve.
I use alias_db and have multiple destinations for a single number, and have
append_branches set to 1. I then use lookup_branches to get details from
the location table for each branch. I then do t_load_contacts and
t_next_contacts, then t_relay to parallel fork the calls to the
destination, and all the phones ring at once.
This all works great if all the destinations from the dbaliases table are
online.
However, if one of them is offline, lookup_branches says "Not found in
usrloc”. This branch is still there, and the call is attempted. In my
environment, this then does a DNS lookup, can’t resolve the domain, and the
branch fails. This is the first branch that is tried, and when this branch
has an error like this, it causes t_relay() to fail - I check for the
output of t_relay() and reply with an error - per the default config that
Kamailio ships with.
I guess what I need to figure out, is if there’s a way to have t_relay fail
only if all branches fail? Or, is there a more elegant way to handle this?
I should add, I only allow a single registration per subscriber - so,
lookup_branches only returns one branch per alias from alias_db_lookup.
I'm not sure if this will work for you, but I have a similar situation where I
lookup_branches after alias_db_lookup. Just like you, if at least one of the
branches is found by lookup_branches, then the call works ok. If none of the
branches are found, then things don't work. If I understand you correctly,
you need to check if lookup_branches fails (no branches are found) and handle
the call differently before any call to t_relay.
For me, I do a quick check of the branch count and decide what to do from
there, i.e., multibranch calls get handled differently and in my case will
route to voicemail using $avp(oexten) if none of the users are online.
route[LOCATION] {
# Save the original extension
$avp(oexten)=$rU;
#!ifdef WITH_ALIASDB
if(alias_db_lookup("dbaliases")) {
# Only route a single branch via SIPOUT
if($branch(count)==0) {
route(SIPOUT);
}
}
#!endif
if(!lookup_branches("location")) {
# Save the return code from the lookup_branches function
$var(rc_lookup_branches)=$rc;
# Asterisk failover route (for non-multibranch INVITEs)
if($branch(count)==0) {
route(ASTERISK);
}
# Route to VoiceMail (Leave VoiceMail)
route(VOICEMAIL);
t_newtran();
switch($var(rc_lookup_branches)) {
case -1:
case -3:
send_reply("404", "Not Found");
exit;
case -2:
send_reply("405", "Method Not Allowed");
exit;
}
}
... other stuff ...
... eventually: t_relay();
}
