How to use ChanSpy to eavesdrop a single channel instead of a channel prefix?

#1

I would like to configure the ChanSpy application to only spy in a single extension, instead of a extension prefix as the documentation states:

If the chanprefix parameter is specified, only channels beginning with this string will be spied upon.

ChanSpy([chanprefix,[options]])

  2. https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Application_ChanSpy

For example, with the following, I can spy on all channels as 10, 101, 102, … How can I limit it to spy only on the channel 10, not all channels starting with 10 on their name?

exten => 2,ChanSpy(SIP/10 ,bq)

You could try using the ‘e’ option to restrict to a list.

Can you show an example of the syntax?

I think it should be as simple as

ChanSpy(SIP/10,bqe(SIP/10))

Thanks, I figured out it also work without adding the prefix and added the E option to hang up the channel once the eavesdropped call has ended.

exten => 1,1,ChanSpy(,Ebqe(SIP/10))
