Hello,
Should asterisk channels be re used for direrent calls?
I see in the logs that somehow (without any asterisk restart or crash) the same channel name (C-XXXXXX) is reported for different calls (with a time difference of some minutes)
I am using an agi script (I didn’t wrote tbh) but I don’t know if it is correct to re use the same asterisk channels in the first place.
Best regards,
Stavros Kladis
It’s a Call ID which can be inherited, and is not unique to each channel:

Thank you so much jcolp!
Now I understand about the Call-Identifier, thanks!
Not sure if this the correct part of the forum to get technical, I have one more question:
An instance of struct ast_channel (which is associated with a struct ast_channel_id uniqueid) will it be used for one call only in the asterisk process lifetime and after the call it is destroyed or asterisk recycles and re-uses these channels in future calls?
Asterisk won’t reuse the allocated ast_channel structure, but the memory allocator could theoretically provide it back when allocating memory again.
