Nope, you will have to build an AGI server (application) or Fast AGI server to do that. Fast AGI server just means it is running on a different machine than Asterisk.

I do it as follows:

  1. via the Manager API I originate the call and set some channel variables. (one of the variables is the number to dial). I also gives it a context, exten and priority if the call gets answered.
  2. It dials into an exten in the diaplan which will create a Local channel and then call the number found in the variable.
  3. Within that context I capture all the unsuccessful possibilities and call an Fast AGI server (windows applciation) with the result to log it to a database.
  4. If the call gets answered it jumps into the context that was provided with the originate.
  5. Again I call the Fast AGI server to update the database.

Hope that makes sense, it is kind of complicated, but once you understand AGI and the Manager API it is actually very powerful.

Also if it is not time critical to know you then you can work through the CDR file to find out what happened.

If you’re wanting to do Call Process Analysis on the call (answering machine, human, etc ) There are threads on here about answering machine detection.
