I use astmanproxy with Asterisk 1.6.2.18 - It works fine. The most recent version is on Github, and is not that old. In fact that reminds me that I really must upload my latest changes to my github fork of the project! > The reasons I'm considering it are as follows: > Building a web page which uses AJAX to get information from the AMI > every 10-30 seconds or so and not wanting to log on and off via AMI that > many times. > > We'll soon be using multiple asterisk servers so having a single point > of access would be very useful. Astmanproxy does seem to offer that, but it is not a feature I've used. > I'd love for you to elaborate on why it's not necessary any more, is > there something simple I've overlooked? - I run asterisk in high-priority mode, meaning that every AMI connection gets a "high priority socket" - Astmanproxy runs at a normal priority - That just feels like a nicer thing to be doing :) - If a client fails to read its net socket fast enough, it affects astmanproxy, and not asterisk with the backlog.. Again, that just feels like a better way to do it. - Astmanproxy offers filtering, which can be used to either reduce load on the client, to present information about a single device/channel only, or as a sanity layer to block or fix-up invalid requests by a client. Hope that helps. Steve -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
