[asterisk-users] CLI - displaying all channel variables

[Paddy Grice]

Hi List

This may be a silly question by web searches etc don't seem to answer it.

Is there a CLI command to display ALL channel variables - standard and user
created - for a specific channel?

something like show channel SIP/Test123 all

I'm using Version 1.4.33.1

The dialplan application DumpChan dumps information about the channel, however, it does not display all the variables you are looking for. Generally you should insert a Noop in the dialplan to examine variables. Noop(EXTEN is ${EXTEN}) for example.

The 'verbose()' application would be an example of 'better practices.'

It's function is obvious rather than just a convenient side-effect.

It has additional functionality in that you can specify the 'verbosity'
level needed.

Agreed. I tend to use NoOp() for an actual No Operation, such as using it on the
first line of an extension:

exten => something_awesome,1,NoOp()
same => n,Verbose(2,Incoming call from ${CALLERID(all)})
same => n,Dial(SIP/someone_awesome)
same => n,Hangup

That way if you want to place things ahead of any line, you can do that without
impunity. Even using Verbose() on the first line can cause problems if you want
to move the Verbose() around and place something before it -- now you have to do
some copy/pasting, and extra work that could be avoided :)

Try core show channel sip/test123-0000001 - you will probably have to do a
core show channels first to get the proper -0000001 value.

Thanks Danny - That displays "user" created variables - by "user" this could
be application like dial but not the predefined channel variables.

You should probably use an AGI to get this rather than depending on CLI
commands. It's possible that you could do a bash AGI and call that from CLI
but that's not something I've dabbled with.
