[asterisk-users] ChanSpy : how to know channel name ?

Wed Jan 25 08:20:15 CST 2012

Read the documentation.  If I do Set(a=${CHANNELS()}) a will return a list
of channels with a space between each entry like you originally said.  I did
my test using Set(a=${CHANNELS(1107)}) and it returned a=SIP/1107, therefore
I logically assumed that ${CHANNELS(miq8)}) would return SIP/miq8.  If you
PROVE me wrong so be it,  but I'm gonna SHUT UP now since you don't give a
rat's behind about my wasting time trying to help you.

This could work, yes.

But the context is not always the same.

Also ${CHANNELS(miq8) will return nothing...

Did a little research on this using my Asterisk 10.0.  This should work for
you. 

exten => 1246,1,answer()

exten => 1246,n,set(inuse=${CHANNELS(miq8)})

exten => 1246,n,extenspy(${inuse}@default)

exten => 1246,n,hangup()

Hello,

there is very little information about the function CHANNELS().

If I know the peer name (that I always know for sure), do you see a way of
using the function CHANNELS() to get the right channel ??

If CHANNELS() gives a "space-delimited" list of active channels, and I know
miq8... how can I get SIP/miq8-00002419 ?

Thanks !

Extenspy(miq8 at default) for miq8.  I would either proceed under the
assumption that I'm going to be listening to my extensions in the default
context or set up an AGI or something to load my needed ext at context
information.

Hello,

how to use ExtenSpy(extension at context) when conversations are named like
this ? :

SIP/378680644-00002 default                                  
SIP/rs4-00002445 sub-uitinternation
SIP/3715320168-00002 default    
SIP/ibenla2-0000244 sub-uit789  
SIP/372083610-00002 default  
SIP/cedhou0-000024 sub-uit789  
SIP/travel3-00002 pbx-routing 
SIP/INTELin-00002 pbx-routing 
SIP/375382280-00002 default   
SIP/miq8-00002419  sub-uitGSM  
SIP/3749378004-0000 default  
SIP/instlpr0-00002 sub-uitinternation

Can you tell me what is the extension ? How will I know the context ? The
context is not always the same...

You are either going to be able to listen to SIP/miq8 or you are going to
have to know the sequence number like SIP/miq8-00001.  Maybe you should just
use ExtenSpy instead?

Of course I can control the name of my SIP-peer. Why do you tell me this ?!

Please answer my question : how do I know the channel name so I can ChanSpy
the correct channel ?

It's not random.  The "Channel Name" is Tech/peer-sequence (sequence is in
hex).  You can control (to a degree) the peer portion in
sip.conf/users.conf.

Hello,

thanks. miq8 is the name of the SIP peer account.

So when I know the SIP peer name, and I strip of the numbers of the channel,
then I can use ChanSpy. So this answers my original question.

The only problem I see : it is Asterisk that gives the channel its name. How
do I change this ??

As far as I know, Asterisk randomly gives a channel name which consists of
the technology (SIP), the peername (miq8) and some numbers...

How to change the channel name ?

I would try chanspy(sip/miq8,b) - the b flag denotes to only listen to a
bridged call which (it seems to me) should pick up both sides.

Hello,

OK thanks. But, I want to listen to the conversation (not just 1 channel out
of 2 channels). How then do I use ChanSpy ?

Strip off the -xxxxx.  Just listen to SIP/miq8 and SIP/375382280 in your
example.

Hello list,

to use ChanSpy, one needs to know the name of the channel.

But on an incoming call from the provider, or an outgoing call to the
provider there are always numbers added. How can one then know the channel
name ??

core show channels verbose shows me for example :

SIP/378680644-00002 default                                  
SIP/rs4-00002445 sub-uitinternation
SIP/3715320168-00002 default    
SIP/ibenla2-0000244 sub-uit789  
SIP/372083610-00002 default  
SIP/cedhou0-000024 sub-uit789  
SIP/travel3-00002 pbx-routing 
SIP/INTELin-00002 pbx-routing 
SIP/375382280-00002 default   
SIP/miq8-00002419  sub-uitGSM  
SIP/3749378004-0000 default  
SIP/instlpr0-00002 sub-uitinternation
SIP/372089170-00002 default  
SIP/v9q9uLT-0000 from-GFATRUNK 
46 active channels
24 active calls

If I want to listen to the conversation of SIP/miq8-00002419 and
SIP/375382280-00002 (these 2 channels have been connected to 1
conversation), how do I use ChanSpy ??

Kind regards;
Jonas.
