 Is there a way to get the full channel name within AMI?



 I'm using asterisk 11.7.0


Since you are using AMI, use the AMI CoreShowChannels action
instead of the AMI Command action to run the CLI core show channels
command.

Use:
Action: CoreShowChannels
ActionID: your-optional-id

Instead of:
Action: Command
ActionID: your-optional-id
Command: core show channels

Using the AMI CoreShowChannels action will give you more information
as well as not truncating long strings.  It is also the recommended way
to get that information.

After posting this, I ran across 'core channel show concise', which gives the 
data in a more machine friendly format.

That may work over AMI, but in general, it isn't recommended. The
command class authorization, EVENT_CLASS_COMMAND, is relatively
powerful and shouldn't be exposed to a general AMI action without a
lot of forethought. What's more, CLI commands are generally viewed as
being appropriate for end users, and not programs controlling
Asterisk. While 'core show channels concise' is unlikely to change in
future versions, it certainly isn't versioned in the same fashion as
AMI events/actions.

If you need to get a dump of all active channels in the system over
AMI, I'd recommend the CoreShowChannels AMI action [1]. It will send
the information back for each channel as an event, and doesn't require
the same level of permission as the corresponding CLI command.
