To install QueueMetrics please read the User Manuals and the Quick Installation guides that apply to your system. 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. We also offer a few video tutorials to get you started.

Quick installation using Espresso

Espresso installs a preconfigured version of QueueMetrics and Qloaderd that works out-of-the-box on most major Asterisk PBXs based on FreePBX.

wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://yum.loway.ch/loway.repo
yum install queuemetrics-espresso

This is all you have to do.

You can find more information on what gets installed, the services enabled and supported distros on the QueueMetrics Espresso page.

RPM Installation

If you run a RPM based Linux distro like CentOS, 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.
