Asterisk external configuration
|
|
===============================
|
|
|
|
The Asterisk external configuration engine is the result of work by
|
|
Anthony Minessale II, Mark Spencer and Constantine Filin.
|
|
|
|
It is designed to provide a flexible, seamless integration between
|
|
Asterisk's internal configuration structure and external SQL other other
|
|
databases (maybe even LDAP one day).
|
|
|
|
The external configuration engine is the basis for the ARA, the
|
|
Asterisk Realtime Architecture (see doc/realtime.txt for more
|
|
information).
|
|
|
|
* Configuration
|
|
|
|
External configuration is configured in /etc/asterisk/extconfig.conf
|
|
allowing you to map any configuration file (static mappings) to
|
|
be pulled from the database, or to map special runtime entries which
|
|
permit the dynamic creation of objects, entities, peers, etc. without
|
|
the necessity of a reload.
|
|
|
|
Generally speaking, the columns in your tables should line up with the
|
|
fields you would specify in the given entity declaration. If an entry
|
|
would appear more than once, in the column it should be separated by a
|
|
semicolon. For example, an entity that looks like:
|
|
|
|
[foo]
|
|
host=dynamic
|
|
secret=bar
|
|
context=default
|
|
context=local
|
|
|
|
could be stored in a table like this:
|
|
|
|
+------+--------+-------+--------------+----------+-----+-----------+
|
|
| name | host | secret| context | ipaddr | port| regseconds|
|
|
+------+--------+-------+--------------+----------+-----+-----------+
|
|
| foo | dynamic| bar | default;local| 127.0.0.1| 4569| 1096954152|
|
|
+------+--------+-------+--------------+----------+-----+-----------+
|
|
|
|
Note that for use with IAX or SIP, the table will also need the "name",
|
|
"ipaddr", "port", "regseconds" columns. If you wanted to be able to
|
|
configure the callerid, you could just add a callerid column to the
|
|
table, for example.
|
|
|
|
A SIP table would look more like this:
|
|
|
|
+------+--------+-------+----------+-----+------------+----------+
|
|
| name | host | secret| ipaddr | port| regseconds | username |
|
|
+------+--------+-------+----------+-----+------------+----------+
|
|
| foo | dynamic| bar | 127.0.0.1| 4569| 1096954152 | 1234 |
|
|
+------+--------+-------+----------+-----+------------+----------+
|
|
|
|
in order to store appropriate parameters required for SIP.
|
|
|
|
A Voicemail table would look more like this:
|
|
|
|
+----------+---------+----------+----------+-----------+---------------+
|
|
| uniqueid | mailbox | context | password |email | fullname |
|
|
+----------+---------+----------+----------+-----------+---------------+
|
|
| 1 | 1234 | default | 4242 | a@b.com | Joe Schmoe |
|
|
+----------+---------+----------+----------+-----------+---------------+
|
|
|
|
The uniqueid should be unique to each voicemail user and can be
|
|
autoincrement. It need not have any relation to the mailbox or context.
|
|
|
|
An extension table would look more like this:
|
|
|
|
+----------+---------+----------+-------+-----------+
|
|
| context | exten | priority | app | appdata |
|
|
+----------+---------+----------+-------+-----------+
|
|
| default | 1234 | 1 | Dial | Zap/1 |
|
|
+----------+---------+----------+-------+-----------+
|
|
|
|
In the dialplan you just use the Realtime switch:
|
|
|
|
[foo]
|
|
switch => Realtime
|
|
|
|
or:
|
|
|
|
[bar]
|
|
switch => Realtime/bar@extensions
|
