Hi Gabriel,

First, this question is more suited for the asterisk-users list than the 
asterisk-developers list since this does not pertain directly to the 
Asterisk source code. I'll answer here anyway this time, though.

 From the CHANGES file in Asterisk 12+:

  * The configuration options eventwhencalled and eventmemberstatus have 
been
    removed.  As a result, the AMI events QueueMemberStatus, AgentCalled,
    AgentConnect, AgentComplete, AgentDump, and AgentRingNoAnswer will 
always be
    sent.  The "Variable" fields will also no longer exist on the Agent* 
events.
    These events can be filtered out from a connected AMI client using the
    eventfilter setting in manager.conf.

In other words, the events will always be sent. You don't need to set 
the eventwhencalled option. Since channel snapshots are sent in these 
events, channel variables can already be included. In your manager.conf 
file, in the general section, set

channelvars = foo,bar,baz

Every time a channel is sent in a manager event, the channel variables 
foo, bar, and baz will be sent.

I hope this helps,
Mark Michelson
