Reply To: Free Version Call Limit

HAAst depends on Asterisk to report the number of calls in progress. From the Asterisk CLI issue the command “core show calls” and you will see how call are calculated/reported.

If you are running a configuration generator (eg: PIAF, FreePBX) then you will discover that the configuration generator triggers automatic internal (local) calls every X seconds to handle time variable updates and other checks. (Not a good design as they are loading up your PBX with background “calls”). There have been an number of discussions about this topic (on various websites) and causing a lot of frustration with users who are seeing their PBX being loaded up with CPU/disk activity to do little more than update a variable. Since some product vendors only have PHP development experience they must solve every problem using PHP scripts, call files, etc. Other vendors are quite sophisticated (eg: code in C++/C) and their products (eg: XCally) use minimal system resources.

If you are running only Asterisk then check for channels not being released. (There are some documented bugs in Asterisk – depending on the version you are running).
