[OpenSIPS-Users] Can load balancer show total number of call for a gateway

Fri Sep 7 19:14:38 CEST 2012

Hi Sammy,

Thank you for your response and it is a very good suggestion. I'm sorry if
you felt I was criticizing it.

I know there is a way to increase the number of active call for the load
balancer module:

set_dlg_profile("lbXchannel","server_id)");

I just don't know how I can get the server_id which is the load_balancer
table index without doing a DB query.

Thanks again,
Ali
