             Summary: Asterisk API Improvements - filter channels that should never be shown
                 Key: ASTERISK-21873
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-21873
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: None
          Components: Resources/res_stasis_http
            Reporter: Matt Jordan


There are a number of channels that should never be conveyed over AMI. These channels have meaning only inside Asterisk and the usage of a channel to perform that action is merely an implementation detail. If an external system attempted to manipulate that channel, "bad things" would inevitably occur.

To date, those channels are:

 * CBAnn - the confbridge announcer channel
 * CBRec - the confbridge recorder channel

It is expected, however, that other channels will be added to this list. A generic function should be added to AMI channels and bridges that excludes events in relation to those channels. Thus, AMI clients should not see any message pertaining to that channel, regardless of the topic that message is published on.
