Statis App not receiving events

[91Abdullah]

Call into asterisk means Dial into asterisk.

For example, please see following code in extensions.conf:

exten => 1000,1,NoOp()
 same =>      n,Stasis(bridge-dial)
 same =>      n,Hangup()

When you dial 1000 from your softphone, your Statis application shall be activated and you will be receiving ARI events.

You are correct, but a stasis event will be triggered when something happens from the Asterisk side of the network. In order to see the events, you need to run the Stasis application to connect to the Asterisk websocket, then simply call into Asterisk and activate your stasis application, then you should see the events.

What do you mean by: "simply call into Asterisk and activate your stasis application"

Sorry I don't know anything about Asterisk... I am a PHP developer and I was tasked with writing a program that would listen to Asterisk events, specifically catching calls coming in to specific extension, then display something on their screen.

Is there anybody out there who would be interested in helping me out on a consulting basis? I will pay of course ;-) You can email me direct at [email protected].

Thank you.

Well,

What you are looking for is actually the AMI interface, not ARI. Just to make stuff clearer, Asterisk has 4 distinct APIs for interaction:

1. The Dialplan - this is normally regarded as the Asterisk "call flow" configuration point. This is a highly robust environment for call flow execution, however, when coming to other programming paradigms - it lacks much.

2. The Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) - Invoked from the Asterisk dialplan, provides a tool for enabling the dialplan with external functionalities. Mainly used for interacting with external resources from the within the call flow.

3. The Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) - This is a TCP socket server, that is normally activated by default. It provides an online mechanism for receiving events from Asterisk or issuing actions to it. Combind with the dialplan and AGI, is a highly powerfull tool.

4. The Asterisk REST Interface (ARI) - Provides the functionality for all of the above, as long as your application is bound to the Stasis application construct.

What you are describing is most fitted for Asterisk Manager (AMI). Take a look at a project called PHPAGI, which should provide you what you are looking for.
