[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] (ASTERISK-24262) AMI CoreShowChannel missing several output fields and event documentation

[Matt Jordan (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24262?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=222545#comment-222545 ] 

Matt Jordan commented on ASTERISK-24262:
----------------------------------------

Looking at the 11 event, the following fields aren't coming back:
* {{BridgedChannel: SIP/mlcx450-00000007}} - reaching across a bridge is a really, really, *really* bad idea. It also isn't useful in multi-party bridging scenarios. Instead, we should transmit the {{BridgeId}}, which you can use with other bridge related events to know which bridge a channel is in.
* {{BridgedUniqueID: mlcadev1-1408740771.10}} - for the same reason as {{BridgedChannel}}

Missing the application and appdata is essentially a bug, because without that information the Dialplan tuple of {{context}}, {{extension}}, {{priority}} is only so useful. {{Duration}} typically isn't conveyed in any other event that shows channel related information. Generally, it is known from the {{Newchannel}} event when a channel was created. I could see needing it in the response to a query as you may have missed the {{Newchannel}} event however.

{{BridgeId}} should be there - otherwise we don't know what bridge you are in.
