[Asterisk-Dev] Pasive channels monitoring

[Dan Davis]

I have the same problem with trying to find an external way to view this
info. Right now I think my only choice is to go into the code and post this
info to some type of ipc (shared memory or a queue) which I can the view
externally. I am leaning towards shared memory so I can have a local and
remote monitor up at the same time.
