Unknown Features in Asterisk "full" logs on every call, MTE 9.1.4.14

Hello,

Is this a new system or it was updated to 9.1.4?

Please show contents of /etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf, /etc/asterisk/features.conf and just in case /etc/asterisk/res_parking.conf configuration files.

UPdated from an earlier 9.1, but original version was almost 3 years ago, probably an 8. or maybe 7. version

We had some custom parking lot work done a couple of versions ago, which broke in the last version partially so we fixed it. Not sure how exactly I'm not the tech guy, but the extra parking lots for one of our MTE tenants, CMG, is working. FYI.

I may have found this issue in this line which is the only difference in a call that doesn't work with one that does. attached is the snippet from the call that Doesn't work, not the "failed" line:

[2019-09-26 11:06:33] VERBOSE[18971][C-00004328] pbx.c: Executing [onetrunk@macro-tl-dialout-base:4] GotoIf("SIP/2003-BNT-0000a059", "0?failed,1") in new stack

So, I don't know if the unknown features is causing our intermittent no audio at the remote end, or if it is the "failed" GotoIf section of the macro-tl-dialout-base in the call logs, both would be good to fix.

Apparently I was wrong about the "failed" lines in the logs above, all calls have this whether they worked or not... so ignore that part. I'd still like to know why the
"features_config.c: Unknown DYNAMIC_FEATURES"

since it COULD be related to the no remote audio problem.

Hello!

Please remove features.conf => mysql,pbxconf,ast_static_config line from /etc/asterisk/features.conf configuration file. Then apply changes by running reload features in Asterisk CLI and features show to check if your output will include dynamic features mix-mon, nway-inv, nway-noinv and nway-start.

Velodya,

AS you can see from my conf files above, the only reference (mysql,pbxconf,ast_static_config) is in the /etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf and there are numerous references please see above. For example in my logs the first appearance of the "issue" on INCOMING calls:

Seems to be making a call from features_config.c which is just before or during the bridge setup between our upstream and our asterisk.

I hope this helps.

On an OUTBOUND call there are less of them and this is what we see:

What entries in the extconfig.conf file (if any) should I comment out or remove?

no DYNAMIC_FEATURES show from the "features show" but this may help, from the CLI output :
