[asterisk-users] Dialplan Visualization (Extensions.conf orDialplan Show)

[Martin Smith]

I've been working on a visualization tool that would be totally open
source and I'd share it now if I wasn't embarassed by how quickly and
shoddily I assembled it. Here's an example of the sample extensions.conf
file that was part of 1.4.19:
http://www.mbs3.org/extensions-conf-sample.jpg
<http://www.mbs3.org/extensions-conf-sample.jpg>  
 
Right now, it doesn't handle any of the quoting escapes that Asterisk
allows, and it shows anything that is an include or a Goto. Eventually I
think it might be neat to just graph all of the dialplan's structure,
kind of like this site explains for web sites:

More soon :)

		Here's a quick hack. Just looked at the dot man page.
Did't even test
		that it is actually valid. But it is probably a good
start.
		
		asterisk -rx 'dialplan show' | \
		 awk -F"'" '
		   BEGIN {printf "digraph dialplan {\n";};
		   /^\[ Context/ {context=$2};
		   /^  Include =>/ {printf "\t%s -> %s\n",context,$2};
		   END {printf "}\n"}
		 '
		
		Only graphs simple inclusions between contexts.
		
		BTW:
		
		 asterisk -rx | less
		
		Behaves really strange. no scrolling possible. But I
don't see anything
		strange in a hexdump.
		


	Awesome. Thanks!
	
	Will post updates as we progress.
