3 thoughts on - AMI Not Responding Correctly

• How?

  What happens if (at pretty much the same time) you run the command “core show calls” in the Asterisk command console?

  On my system (Asterisk 13.14.1) I get:

  Action: Command Command: core show calls

  Response: Follows Privilege: Command
  0 active calls
  0 calls processed
  –END COMMAND–

  How are you connecting and what are you using to parse the response?

  Try a simple telnet and see if the result is the same:

  $ telnet localhost 5038
  Trying 127.0.0.1… Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is ‘^]’. Asterisk Call Manager/2.9.0
  Action: login Username: myusername Secret: secretpassword

  Response: Success Message: Authentication accepted

  Event: FullyBooted Privilege: system,all Status: Fully Booted

  Action: Command Command: core show calls

  Response: Follows Privilege: Command
  0 active calls
  0 calls processed
  –END COMMAND–

  3 logicians walk into a bar. The bartender asks “Do you all want a drink?”
  The first logician says “I don’t know.”
  The second logician says “I don’t know.”
  The third logician says “Yes!”

• I have a C app that communicates with the AMI over a socket. The app works fine (has for years), and it dumps a debug log with all tx/rx traffic. So what I posted is exactly what the AMI is responding with. A telnet session would product the same.

  I don’t have access to the CLI, but I did ask the customer to try that command on the CLI. Your output is exactly what I expect (and what I see on other systems)

  The real mystery here is why is the AMI on this system responding strangely?! Permissions? Corruption? Some asterisk config file setting I should look at?

• My first thing to look at would be the /etc/asterisk/manager.conf or
  /etc/asterisk/manager.d/*.conf stanza for the user you’re logging in to AMI
  as, and also the [general] stanza, to check that “the AMI connection has full read/write permissions” really is true.
