Currently the event flag for the “Newexten event” is set to EVENT_FLAG_CALL. It generates a lot of events that are not always needed, especially with big and complex dialplans. I was trying to turn it off to minimize the events send but there is no way since it is the same flag used for “real call” events.
I suggest we create another event flag called EVENT_FLAG_DIALPLAN or EVENT_FLAG_EXTEN and replace it wiht this so we can seperate it from the real call events and subsribe to it seperatly.
Does it make sense?
It is only located in 2 places. “pbx.c” and “pbx realtime.c” :
manager_event(EVENT_FLAG_CALL, “Newexten”,
“Channel: %s\r\n”
“Context: %s\r\n”
“Extension: %s\r\n”
“Priority: %d\r\n”
“Application: %s\r\n”
“AppData: %s\r\n”
“Uniqueid: %s\r\n”,
c->name, c->context, c->exten, c->priority, app->name, passdata ? passdata : “(NULL)”, c->uniqueid);
We would also have to add it to to manager.c :
static struct permalias {
int num;
char *label;
} perms[] = {
{ EVENT_FLAG_SYSTEM, “system” },
{ EVENT_FLAG_CALL, “call” },
{ EVENT_FLAG_LOG, “log” },
{ EVENT_FLAG_VERBOSE, “verbose” },
{ EVENT_FLAG_COMMAND, “command” },
{ EVENT_FLAG_AGENT, “agent” },
{ EVENT_FLAG_USER, “user” },
{ -1, “all” },
{ 0, “none” },
};
