[arm-allstar] Node telemetry via iax_client library?

[Georges Auberger]

Not sure if this is the right group to ask. I’m still trying to find out where the app_rpt developers hang out :)

I’m writing an OS X GUI using iax_client library to connect to AllStar nodes.

The audio portion is working fine. I’d like to provide status of the node connections to the user. For example what nodes are linked, etc.

So far I’m able to issue TEXT frames with DTMF command such as *70 and parse the resulting STATUS messages. It’s working ok but has flaws.

Is there a more direct way to query for telemetry from the node? iax_client can generate arbitrary TEXT frames. I read thru the app_rpt source code to try to see what commands were supported but I could not make sense of lot of things in there.

I realize Supermon does something similar to what I want, but from what I can tell it has privilege local access to the node. Ideally I’d like to issue similar commands or get statues “over the network”.

Any pointers welcome.
