Hi,

I would recommend a quad core CPU and 4gb of DDR3 ram.

As you server will not be able to process all the calls in asterisk or be able to compress the call recordings in real time.

CPU usage is measured at the command line with htop or top, and should never exceed 50% of your CPU count. Thus with Two Cores, you should never exceed 1.0 average server load in htop.

With two Cores, your system is VERY underpowered for this number of agents. Additionally, the total number of calls (answered, ringing, agent, prospect) all count toward "server load" and you've not given us a total call count. But even without that information, I can say you're underpowered even if it's one prospect per agent and manual dialing.

Was that reading taken during a moment when you were having problems? (If not, of course, we can't really say that it's relevant ...)

Also: You have 35 agents, but only 12 calls?

Agent on Calls will b yes 13-18 loged in to Dialer
Direct phone dial will b 3-4
Goautodial will b showing Dialing 15 numbers etc waiting to recipent to pickup the call ,so Total calls will be around 32 calls out ( Agent on Call + System Dialing calls)

-Another issue we facing is sometimes lets say if we upload 10k numbers 4k will b called and rest is taged is NA , but when we Reupload the NA numbers it will be dialled but still there will be some (Few thousands) taged as NA


by any chance is it due to So many outbound calls our system trying to dial ? (32 Calls-GSM gateway ) ?

NA depends on several settings. For instance, in newer Vicidial you can modify the system setting for enhanced disconnect logging and some of those NA numbers will become Disconnected instead of Not Answered. Additionally, if you set your dial timeout to 45 (at least), the Disconnect logging will catch more numbers because some phone companies do not send the disconnected number response until 45 seconds into the ring time. Next up you have ... yep, a lot of people will not answer the phone before your server cancels the call (result: No answer Autodial, or NA). Later Vicidials also have a call count limit allowing you to avoid calling someone more than 8 or 10 times (since that likely means they do not want to talk to you, don't answer their phone, or their phone is disconnected).
