MongoDB Interface for Asterisk PBX
This document discusses app_mongodb, an Asterisk application that allows interaction between an Asterisk PBX and MongoDB. It provides a prototype implementation with around 300 lines of code that allows basic operations like replacing a caller ID name by looking up the caller's number in a MongoDB phonebook. With further development, it could enable capabilities like real-time accounting for billing and fraud detection by accessing MongoDB datasets, as well as integrating the PBX with CRM systems through MongoDB. Resources are provided for the app_mongodb codebase and tutorials on MongoDB and Asterisk.

- 2. techio.com What Asterisk PBXis? • Software implementation of a Private Branch Exchange • Exists since 2004 • Dual Licensed (GPL v2.0 & Proprietary) • Ported to almost all well known platforms • Very popular solution for either ITSPs or SMBs • Core component for many PABX such as Trixbox & FreePBX

- 4. techio.com mongodb supported drivers:Apache License v2.0 asterisk server + addons: GPL v2.0 MongoDB ! Asterisk BUT WAIT :) How about storing PBX CDRs into mongoDB? How about taking near-realtime decisions based on mongoDB datasets? • Faster Rating & Billing • Less Complex Fraud detection
- 5. techio.com Meet app_mongodb! • Asterisknative application • mongoDB interaction from the PBX dialplan • Still a prototype with just under 300 lines of code • Tested and working ok so far on Asterisk 1.8.x • Re-used already existing code base (cdr_mongodb) • Greatly influenced by app_mysql What can it do so far? Replace a CallerID’s Name by matching his number in a mongoDB phonebook

- 7. techio.com Well, ok but isthat all?
- 8. techio.com • Near-Realtime accountingfor billing, remaining call time, fraud-detection etc. • Faster Dynamic Call Routing (usage based trunk routing) • Faster analysis on ITSP customer trends (BI) • Integrating 3rd party with mongoDB as a data source • Asterisk Integration with CRM for medium to large organizations (Call-Centers, etc) Some ideas Additional support for a broader set of mongoDB operations can be implemented easily! ;-)
