2009-07-11Add an API for reporting security events, and a security event logging module.Russell Bryant
This commit introduces the security events API. This API is to be used by Asterisk components to report events that have security implications. A simple example is when a connection is made but fails authentication. These events can be used by external tools manipulate firewall rules or something similar after detecting unusual activity based on security events. Inside of Asterisk, the events go through the ast_event API. This means that they have a binary encoding, and it is easy to write code to subscribe to these events and do something with them. One module is provided that is a subscriber to these events - res_security_log. This module turns security events into a parseable text format and sends them to the "security" logger level. Using logger.conf, these log entries may be sent to a file, or to syslog. One service, AMI, has been fully updated for reporting security events. AMI was chosen as it was a fairly straight forward service to convert. The next target will be chan_sip. That will be more complicated and will be done as its own project as the next phase of security events work. For more information on the security events framework, see the documentation generated from doc/tex/.

2009-06-30Move Asterisk-addons modules into the main Asterisk source tree.Russell Bryant
Someone asked yesterday, "is there a good reason why we can't just put these modules in Asterisk?". After a brief discussion, as long as the modules are clearly set aside in their own directory and not enabled by default, it is perfectly fine. For more information about why a module goes in addons, see README-addons.txt. chan_ooh323 does not currently compile as it is behind some trunk API updates. However, it will not build by default, so it should be okay for now. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@204413 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
2009-06-26Merge the new Channel Event Logging (CEL) subsystem.Russell Bryant
CEL is the new system for logging channel events. This was inspired after facing many problems trying to represent what is possible to happen to a call in Asterisk using CDR records. For more information on CEL, see the built in HTML or PDF documentation generated from the files in doc/tex/. Many thanks to Steve Murphy (murf) and Brian Degenhardt (bmd) for their hard work developing this code. Also, thanks to Matt Nicholson (mnicholson) and Sean Bright (seanbright) for their assistance in the final push to get this code ready for Asterisk trunk.

2009-05-29Add some TeX docs for calendaring.Terry Wilson
I still need to set up tests to make sure my examples are completely correct, but I ran out of time tonight and felt that they at least would give an idea as to how to use calendaring. I will try to test the examples and do some cleanup on the docs tomorrow night. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@197926 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

2008-07-13restore ASTERISKVERSION marker to asterisk.tex.Michiel van Baak
This got lost in commit 97634 git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@130479 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
2008-01-09Added a new module, res_phoneprov, which allows auto-provisioning of phonesTerry Wilson
based on configuration templates that use Asterisk dialplan function and variable substitution. It should be possible to create phone profiles and templates that work for the majority of phones provisioned over http. It is currently only intended to provision a single user account per phone. An example profile and set of templates for Polycom phones is provided. NOTE: Polycom firmware is not included, but should be placed in AST_DATA_DIR/phoneprov/configs to match up with the included templates. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@97634 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
2007-10-12Many doc directory improvements, including:Russell Bryant
- Added development section (backtrace.tex) - Correct filesystem path formating - Replace all "|" argument separator to "," - Endless count of spaces at the end of line - Using astlisting to make listings do not take so much place - Take back ASTRISKVERSION on first page - Make localchannel.tex readable by inserting extra end of lines (closes issue #10962) Reported by: IgorG Patches: texdoc-85177-1.patch uploaded by IgorG (license 20) git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@85519 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3

2007-07-02After some discussion on the asterisk-dev list, we determined that this approachRussell Bryant
for extracting application, function, manager, and agi documentation is the wrong one to take. The most severe problem is that the output depends on which modules are loaded as well as compile time options, which both determine which parts are available. git-svn-id: https://origsvn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/trunk@72986 65c4cc65-6c06-0410-ace0-fbb531ad65f3
