Automated Node Status Reporting

It is possible to configure each node to automatically report its status to a central AllStar Link server. The following optional entry in a repeater node context in the file /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf activates this feature.

; Program and options to send stats
statpost_program=/usr/bin/wget,-q,--output-document=/dev/null
; URL for status updates
statpost_url=http://stats.allstarlink.org/uhandler.php


The reported information includes a list of currently connected nodes, transmitter state, transmit time and system uptime.

This information is used to generate the web pages at: http://stats.allstarlink.org/.

Activating this feature is completely at the option of the node system administrator and it is not necessary for communications between nodes.
