Asterisk Application

Initial code was committed. It seems no one was interested in improving it.

It's outside of scope for the development team, since we don't use Asterisk.

Can we add DAHDI to the monitored channels?

asterisk -rx 'core show channels' | grep -e '^DAHDI/i' | wc -l

I'd also like to see the graphs separated as it is too difficult to read the graphs. See attached.

I believe graphs could be broken as follows.

Asterisk Peers SIP
Asterisk Peers IAX
DAHDI channels
IAX channels
SIP channels
Active Channels and Active Calls

IAX channels and SIP channels could possibly be combined but SIP channels are strange as the attached graph demonstrates and is not all that informative.

Active calls are typically (99.9% of the time) half of active channels as it takes 2 channels to create a single call. The only exception that I know of is if someone is calling a locale conference room. I'm not sure about Queues as I don't use them. Queues may be another graph requirement.

Technically IAX is IAX2

Committed in 4926.

I think the agent script should be more efficient, calling the binary a dozen times doesn't seem as smart as it could be.

New patch uploaded

yes, it also works...

Our Asterisk version = Asterisk 1.8.9.2

Can you test it with the following commands?

asterisk -rx 'core show channels' | tail -3 | grep channels | cut -d' ' -f1
asterisk -rx 'core show channels' | tail -3 | grep 'active calls' | cut -d' ' -f1

I will upload a new patch if that works.

for 1.6 the following commands will success:

channels:

 asterisk -rx "core show channels" | sed -n 2p | awk '{print $1}' 

calls:

 asterisk -rx "core show channels" | sed -n 3p | awk '{print $1}' 

What do you get when you run the following command at the command line:

asterisk -rx "core show channels"

already tested... 1.6 will fail

I will look into it. I do not know our asterisk version. I will let you know. Maybe you can test the commands with you asterisk version.
