[asterisk-users] Meaning of core show hint output

[Rui Mota]

The Watchers value show how many other phones you have configured with BLF (Busy Lamp Field) “pointing” to that equipment.  
It means how many other phones you have watching that equipment state.  

In your case, if you don’t use BLF on your phones, that value will always be 0, i suppose.
