Install

curl -sL https://thepixeldata.com/install.sh | bash

The installer detects FreeSWITCH and Asterisk, asks for your ingest key, writes a config file and starts a service. It needs no inbound ports and runs unprivileged.

  1. 1DetectFinds your switch and the CDR location it already writes to.
  2. 2AuthenticateTakes your pk_live_ key once and stores it with 0600 permissions.
  3. 3BackfillOptionally replays the last 72 hours so your first dashboard is not empty.
  4. 4StreamTails new records and batches them to the ingest endpoint.
If the network drops, the agent buffers to disk and replays when it returns. Nothing is dropped silently, ever.

Uninstall

curl -sL https://thepixeldata.com/uninstall.sh | bash
