What both Steve Davies and I were interested in at AstriDevCon was the ability to do the equivalent of the UserEvent() dialplan application, so that there's a way to send a message from an ARI application through Asterisk to something listening on AMI (and perhaps ARI too). This is very useful when you have a complex telephony system with different components written by different people/companies but which need to be aware of each other's telephony actions. > [Oct 16 17:20:23] ERROR[20023] my_first_queue.py:1234: Oh snap! There > aren't any agents! Bail - bail - bail We weren't talking about ARI to log files specifically, but I agree that this would also be very useful to have, for exactly this sort of example. Having logging of all telephony actions in one place is a Very Good Thing for auditing and debugging purposes. -- Alistair Cunningham +1 888 468 3111 +44 20 799 39 799 http://integrics.com/
