[Asterisk-Users] Problem with show channels

[Douglas Garstang]

I have a question on this. It isn't readily obvious to me, upon issueing a 'sip show channels' command which call legs are related to which call.

For example:

*CLI> sip show channels
Peer             User/ANR    Call ID      Seq (Tx/Rx)  Form  Hold     Last Message   
192.168.10.121   a00090601   29a98b1708f  00102/00000  g729  No       Tx: ACK        
192.168.10.4     a00090301   c08e095b-c1  00101/00001  g729  No       Rx: ACK     

Apart from the fact it's obvious here because there's one call, how can you determine that these are the same call? The 'show channels' command is a little easier, but still cryptic. It appears that the format isn't standard and interpreting this from a script would be difficult. It would be nice if some identifier was printed. Maybe 'From number' and 'To number' or the call-id for the call.

*CLI> show channels
Channel              Location             State   Application(Data)             
SIP/a00090601-14cf   (None)               Up      Bridged Call(SIP/a00090301-403
SIP/a00090301-4033   3250076 at Company1:1   Up      Dial(SIP/a00090601|20|tr)     
2 active channels
1 active call

No, I was mistaken. Matt Florell's response about using 'show channels 
concise' is probably the best way to go, since it produces output 
designed for automated interpretation.
