Hello,
Looking at htop I see that there are a ton of processes running ffprobe -v quiet -print_format compact=print_section=0:nokey=1:escape=csv -show_entries format=duration /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/2025/03/10/<filename>
See below pictures:
What are these for? Can we avoid it?
Thanks
Are you storing recordings ? Ffmpeg is the recording audio converting software. It would appear you have a lot of voicemails being left or recording extensions/trunks?
Yes, but maintenance should be running overnight and it isn’t that many recorded calls.
The Sonata Recordings use it to calculate/obtain the call recordings duration.
Additionally, VitalPBX uses this command when deleting short call recordings via the Maintenance module.
Is that constantly running?
How can we know when maintenance started and when it completed?
It runs when a report is created!
There’s a PID file that is created when the maintenance is running and deleted when is not!
