1. Overview
The module implements a database driver for the configuration
parameters API. When configuration parameters are being declared
(typically when starting) API then driver is notified and has chance to
set value (of any parameter) based on value taken from database. It's
primarily targeted for interfacing with 3rd party software which is
aware of the Kamailio configuration.
A parameter is uniquely identified by a group_name plus a name, which
is used by the driver to check if a value can be found. Because
configuration parameters may be spread in many tables, a translation
table is used to indicate where to start searching. Multiple look-up
tables may be defined for single parameter, tables are searched in the
first round by exact match until parameter is found, all tables listed
with wildcard (asterisk) in group name are searched in the second
round. If a parameter is not found then its value is left unchanged.
Configuration parameters are normally declared in C code and this
module additionally supports also declaring custom parameters in extra
table. Such parameters may be used typically in script only. All
parameters listed in the table are declared in the first step, values
are initialized in the second step using the same procedure as C-code
parameters.
The module does not reflect changes made in parameters when Kamailio is
running. It just declares variables and assigns values when Kamailio is
starting. That's all.
2. Dependencies
A loaded database module.
3. Parameters
3.1. db_url (string)
3.2. transl_tbl (string) := "cfg_transl"
3.3. custom_tbl (string) := "cfg_custom"
3.1. db_url (string)
Default database URL.
The format is:
db_url = database
Example 1.1. Example db_url
loadmodule("mysql.so");
loadmodule("cfg_db.so");
...
modparam("cfg_db", "db_url", "mysql://SER:123@127.0.0.1:12345/SER");
...
3.2. transl_tbl (string) := "cfg_transl"
Name of table used for pointing group_name+name into configuration
table. If empty/null field values are found then default values will be
used. The default values are declared in record having group_name
called <default>. The C-code "absolutely" default values ("cfg_var",
"group_name", "name", "value"). The other keyword is asterisk * which
matches all parameters and will be used if parameter is not explicitely
mentioned.
3.3. custom_tbl (string) := "cfg_custom"
Name of table used for extra param declaration (group_name, name, type,
min/max value, description).
