Currently when Asterisk starts initial qualifies of contacts are spread out randomly between 0 and qualify_timeout to prevent network and system overload. If a contact's qualify_frequency is 5 minutes however, that contact may be unavailable to accept calls for the entire 5 minutes after startup. So while staggering the initial qualifies is a good idea, basing the time on qualify_timeout could leave contacts unavailable for too long. This patch adds a new global parameter "max_initial_qualify_time" that sets the maximum time for the initial qualifies. This way you could make sure that all your contacts are initialy, randomly qualified within say 30 seconds but still have the contact's ongoing qualifies at a 5 minute interval. If max_initial_qualify_time is > 0, the formula is initial_interval = min(max_initial_interval, qualify_timeout * random(). If not set, qualify_timeout is used. The default is "0" (disabled).

Asterisk Database Manager
Asterisk includes optional database integration for a variety of features. The purpose of this effort is to assist in managing the database schema for Asterisk database integration.
This is implemented as a set of repositories that contain database schema migrations, using Alembic. The existing repositories include:
config
- Tables used for Asterisk realtime configurationvoicemail
- Tables used forODBC_STOARGE
of voicemail messages
Alembic uses SQLAlchemy, which has support for many databases.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is brand new and the initial migrations are still subject to change. Only use this for testing purposes for now.
Example Usage
First, create an ini file that contains database connection details. For help with connection string details, see the SQLAlchemy docs.
$ cp config.ini.sample config.ini
... edit config.ini and change sqlalchemy.url ...
Next, bring the database up to date with the current schema.
$ alembic -c config.ini upgrade head
In the future, as additional database migrations are added, you can run alembic again to migrate the existing tables to the latest schema.
$ alembic -c config.ini upgrade head
The migrations support both upgrading and downgrading. You could go all the way back to where you started with no tables by downgrading back to the base revision.
$ alembic -c config.ini downgrade base
base
and head
are special revisions. You can refer to specific revisions
to upgrade or downgrade to, as well.
$ alembic -c config.ini upgrade 4da0c5f79a9c
Offline Mode
If you would like to just generate the SQL statements that would have been executed, you can use alembic's offline mode.
$ alembic -c config.ini upgrade head --sql
Adding Database Migrations
The best way to learn about how to add additional database migrations is to refer to the Alembic documentation.
