Installing QueueMetrics

To install QueueMetrics please read the User Manual (see the Downloads page or read it online). You may also want to have a look at the Installing QueueMetrics metanode on AstRecipes or to our own official QueueMetrics forum.

QueueMetrics is a Java webapp, so you need to have a working servlet container to install it into (you can use Apache Tomcat, or Jetty, or any commercial solution).

Installing QueueMetrics is very simple; some people find it confusing because they have no Java or Tomcat experience on Linux.

A short tutorial explaining how to set up Java, Tomcat, MySQL and QueueMetrics on a clean Linux system can be found at http://www.astrecipes.net.

If you run a RPM based Linux distro like TrixBox, you may install QueueMetrics automatically by issuing the following commands: 

    wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://yum.loway.ch/loway.repo
yum install queuemetrics
Follow the on-screen instructions for database installation.

If you would like us to install QueueMetrics and other relevant software on a server you own, see Remote installation.

Installing the qloader script

The qloader script can be installed automatically on the Asterisk servers using the following procedure: 
    wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://yum.loway.ch/loway.repo
yum install qloaderd
It must then be configured in order to point to the correct database instance by modifying /usr/local/qloader/qloader.pl. If you use the qloader script, only the script must be on the same server as the Asterisk machine, while both the QueueMetrics instance and the MySQL database might be on remote servers.
