AddQueueMember Best Paractice for Dynamic agent logins

(1/2) > >>

perlmaster:
What is the best practice/approach to dynamically login agents (to multiple queues) AND have their real name show up in the 'Agent' field of Realtime Monitoring as is done when using AgentCallbackLogin?

I've done a little searching through the archives, and have seen a few similar questions, but haven't found a solution that fully meets my needs.

I'm running 2 call centers where agents can roam and login from any extension.

Asterisk 1.4.24  (preparing to upgrad to 1.6)
Queumetrics (2 installations) 1.5.1 and 1.5.4
mysql 4.1.20 (I know, it's a little old)

QueueMetrics:
i think that the best approach would be to simulate agentcallbacklogins through a context and storing the actual extension used in AstDB.

Like:
- when you log in, you keep track that agent 103 is at extension SIP/202
- you add Local/103@agents as a member to the queue
- when you dial Local/103@agents, it looks up agent 103 in astdb and finds that he is at SIP/202, so he dials it

perlmaster:
Thanks, that sounds like a good suggestion.

I'm not in the office today, but will run a few tests tomorrow.  However, I'm not sure how to do the astdb calls.

I'm currently testing the example from here, which might be more complex than I need.

Can you show me how I would adjust that to do what you suggest, or maybe a more simplified example?

Thanks, but not much help there, at least not at the moment.

I haven't had time to try your idea...I've been busy installing a new asterisk system in one of our stores.
