I have a number of extensions that are set to record calls, they are recording the entire session rather than just when answered so I have a lot of recordings that are blank as they were unanswered, I think I need to change a setting to "execute_on_answer=record_session" how can I do this and will it stay even after an upgrade, also I would like to purge recordings after 90 days, I searched throught the default settings but found nothing.

Thanks,

There is a dialplan "user_record" which will handle most cases of call recordings, you can do your modifications there.

To purge call recordings after 90 days, look at /etc/cron.daily/fusionpbx-backup, or there is https://github.com/fusionpbx/fusionpbx-app-maintenance.
Thank you for help, I was able to change the dialplan to (media_bug_answer_req=true) and that is working good, as for the cron job, I don't understand how these two lines act, under the file fusionpbx-maintenance I see 2 lines.

purge_call_recordings=false

days_keep_call_recordings=90

Will this purge calls after 90 days or do I have to change false to true in order for the 90 days to take affect.

Thanks,
