Asterisk Manager Events when using realtime PJSIP

Asterisk Asterisk SIP
1

I am not receiving AMI events when using PJSIP endpoints in realtime. I do receive them when I configure endpoints statically in pjsip.conf. Is there any configuration needed to receive AMI events also when endpoints are configured as realtime?

Here my sorcery.conf for realtime PJSIP

[res_pjsip]
endpoint=realtime,ps_endpoints
auth=realtime,ps_auths
aor=realtime,ps_aors
domain_alias=realtime,ps_domain_aliases
contact=realtime,ps_contacts

[res_pjsip_publish_asterisk]
asterisk-publication=realtime,ps_asterisk_publications

[res_pjsip_endpoint_identifier_ip]
identify=realtime,ps_endpoint_id_ips

[res_pjsip_outbound_publish]
outbound-publish=realtime,ps_outbound_publishes

[res_pjsip_pubsub]
inbound-publication=realtime,ps_inbound_publications

What events are you specifically referring to?

When using chan_sip I trap “peerstatus”, “newstate” and “hangup”. I have seen PJSIP is throwing some additional events, like ContactStatus that seems interesting too. When using PJSIP realtime, I can see only “ChallengeSent” and “SuccessfulAuth” events from PJSIP endpoints.

You’re going to need to be specific in what events you are expecting that aren’t appearing and give further information about the configuration - such as the configuration in realtime for endpoints and AORs and what exactly is going on at the time.

Thank you. I am looking for “peerstatus” event or any other event I can use to understand if the PJSIP endpoint is registered or not.

Then that would be ContactStatus. It should be raised even if realtime is in use, provided things are configured correctly.

I see the ContactStatus event, you are right, I am missing some pieces.
I receive the ContactStatus event with ContactStatus => Created when the phone registers (so I can trace the registration with this event), but immediately after another ContactStatus event with ContactStatus => Unknown.
If I check the asterisk console, I see the endpoint listed in state “Not in use” when the phone is registered, but it continues to be in state “Not in use” when the phone is not registered while it should move to “Unavailable”

So it seems my asterisk is not detecting when the phone disconnects.

What is the configuration of the endpoint and AOR? That will have an impact on things.

Here the data stored in the tables. You’ll be really kind to point me where I am missing the relevant info…

You have not set a “qualify_frequency” on the AOR, so Asterisk will not use an OPTIONS request to know when a device is reachable or unreachable.

That worked! As soon as I added qualify_timeout and qualify_frequency, I started receiving PeerStatus and ContactStatus events.

Really thank you!
