Hi,

Is it possible to change Asterisk recording calls path.  
By default it is recording /var/spool/asterisk/monitor/ folder.  
But we want to completely change the directory.  
Is it possible?

Thanks

Yes just tell it what you want

for example

MixMonitor(/var/spool/asterisk/monitor/${CONTEXT}/auto-${EPOCH}-${CALLERID(num)}-${EXTEN}.wav) ; |b)
