 Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2006 5:52 pm Post subject: Asterisk PBX Add-On [Under Constraction] |
 |
|
Intro:
One month ago I started working on Asterisk. I allready had cacti, so I said
"why not to make an addon ?". But I haven't noticed the need of the Plugin
Architecture and I started modifying the cacti 0.8.6g php code to accept my
plugins/addons. How stupid movement, because most of modifications were
ready from the P.A. mod. That means, I have an Addon with such a nice and
friendly GUI but no compatility with current P.A. There are several reasons
that I cannot change(I have translated to Greek language) Cacti version.
What I have done:
It connects succesfully to CLI (asterisk console) and then returns data. At
the moment I have parsers for the following commands:
Sip Show Peers
Sip Show Settings
Sip Show Channels
Sip Show Registry
Sip Show Users
Database Show
Show Translation
Parsers are reading CLI data and outport html tables with css etc. support.
Also there is already support to ADD, EDIT, DELETE a SIP friend-acount.
You cannot manipulate(from cacti) with SIP peers-acounts or IAX.
What the Plugin Needs:
Of course asterisk, cacti, mysql(for saving sip data) and modifications
at your asterisk configuration.
What I want:
Notices, information, feature requests, ideas
I want to say that the main work of the addon is to manipulate with sip
friends(just simple functions) and retrieve-show statistics. I will not make
a plugin to configure your Asterisk, there other programs for this job. I
really wait for 0.9 version, to fit my plugin on it. Allthow I am not able to
export my plugin at the moment, I will do it with the next cacti version.

| Most of the items you have added seem like they would be very easy to migrate to the Plugin Architecture. If you would like, you can email the addon to me, and I will gladly convert it to a plugin for you. The process is realitively quick and painless, taking only a few hours at most.

I want to do a final beta-bug test and then I will add some functions to be
easy installed (auto install mysql, etc), and then I will upload it.
Cigamit, if I add a table inside the main cacti-database, would it make
problems at the cacti upgrade function ?
Also for the add-on menu, I use the cacti-function for making menus and
I have added the menu-table at <cacti_dir>/include/config_arrays.php.
Is it proper ? Is it possible to be done from P.A. ?

You should have no issues updating cacti if you include extra tables, Cacti only changes what it has to in the upgrade process, so the extra tables are never even looked at. Most plugins out there already add a few extra tables to the database.

That is the proper way to do it, and it is possible to do it via the Plugin Architecture. With the plugin architecture, instead of manually modifying config_arrays.php, you add a function to the plugins setup.php file (all plugins require this file as a sort of registration file) and have it add to the arrays from within this function. Its not the easiest to explain without getting technical, but documentation is in the works!

I want to add a menu-page for the configuration, instead of
a config-php file. Until I finish it please make, suggestions for
anything you imagine that may be supported for this plugin.
for example, one usefull option is the deactivation of user
management if it is difficult for someone to adapt his asterisk
configuration to the one I will suggest, to coply with the script.
Because I am not guru at Asterisk, you can help by informing
me for the suitable asterisk-configs. For the moment I use
something like the following:
at sip.conf
| Code: | ;------------------------------
; mojiro - 18321
;
register => 18321@10.8.213.67::18321@10.8.213.67/18321 |
| Code: | ;------------------------------
; mojiro - 18321
;
[mojiro]
type=friend
regexten=18321
username=mojiro
secret=
callerid="18321-mojiro" <18321>
host=dynamic
nat=no
dtmfmode=rfc2833
canreinvite=no
disallow=all
;allow=gsm
allow=ulaw
allow=alaw
context=default
qualify=yes
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 |
at extensions.conf
| Code: | ;------------------------------
; mojiro - 18321
;
exten => 18321,hint,SIP/mojiro
exten => 18321,1,Dial(SIP/mojiro,40,rt) |

| I am trying to get this to work but I am not having any luck. I have edited pollcall.php and astman.php with my server info. When I try to bring up graphs I get nothing. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I am not a programmer so it may be something simple. I have searched these forums as well as others and this is about the only asterisk monitor I can find for cacti. I am running cacti ver 0.8.6h and asterisk 1.2.7.

Well your in luck.. I wrote this script and happen to be an asterisk guru.. Did you setup your manager.conf to allow the script to talk to it? Are the scripts executible? There can be many reasons why it will not work. If you would like I can login and give you a hand with it.
