[arm-allstar] Echolink Connection Telemetry

[Doug Crompton]

First of all echolink is not a high priority. It is an add-on and our
mission is Allstar NOT echolink. That being said there is a very simple way
to determine if a node is in the database. Do the following after your
system has been up for awhile and has established the echolink database -

asterisk -rx "echolink dbdump" > /tmp/echolink.txt

Less /tmp/echolink/txt

You will be able to scroll through the list. If you want to look for a
specific call or node do

grep <call/node> /tmp/echolink.txt

[root at Pi3-test]# grep 147090 /tmp/echolink.txt
147090|WA3DSP-L|67.165.29.63

[root at Pi3-test]# grep WA3DSP /tmp/echolink.txt
147090|WA3DSP-L|67.165.29.63

If it isn't in the database then it won't show on the data. Also remember
echolink is a constantly changing database so what you see now may not be
what you see a minute from now.

For most users echolink is a nuisance more than an asset. I have locked my
echolink down with permit lines and anyone that wants to use has to ask and
I put them in the permit= line in echolink.conf. I really wish more people
would do this as in large connected hubs if more than one person has
echolink enabled and wide open it allows anyone to come in even if a single
user had it locked down. You can use a wildcard in a permit line so

permit=wa3dsp*

would be the same as

permit=wa3dsp,wa3dsp-l,wa3dsp-r
