Re: [SR-Users] kamcli v1.1.0 released

Thank you for the clarifications. It would be great to add that to the wiki. It would also be nice to have a recommendation to users what tool should be used by newcomers, ie. what is currently the tool under development / not being deprecated. ________________________________ From: Daniel-Constantin Mierla &lt;miconda(a)gmail.com&gt; Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2018 16:10 To: Samuel F.; Kamailio (SER) - Users Mailing List Subject: Re: [SR-Users] kamcli v1.1.0 released Probably we should put this information somewhere in the wiki, for now here is sort of short presentation for each: 1) kamctl and kamdbctl are related, both being shell scripts (developed over the time from the old serctl/openserctl), the first is for interacting with a kamailio instances, the second is only for creating (and managing) the database structure needed by kamailio 2) kamcmd is practically only a binary rpc client that interacts with ctl module from kamailio -- this was developed by SER project during 2005-2008 (when we were separately) 3) kamcli is written in Python and aims to become a (better) alternative to kamctl (and kamdbctl), with a plugin like architecture to extend it with new subcommands, more flexibility (e.g., modules/libs from python that can be used) and better error handling For example, adding a new subcommand for kamcli means adding a python script inside commands folder. This comes handy if you have a kamailio installation using a custom database table that you access via sqlops -- with few lines of python script you can add a subcommand to manage its records (add/remove/update), doing validation of the values with python expressions to avoid inserting invalid records... Another nice feature of kamcli vs kamctl is the ability to choose the format for output -- e.g., jsonrpc response can be presented in a compact form as yaml instead of json. Overall, kamctl and kamdbctl are part of kamailio source tree and packaged inside kamailio debs/rpms, likely to stay so, no plans to replace/remove them, at least in the near future. kamcli is a separate repository (https://github.com/kamailio/kamcli<https://nam03.safelinks.protection.ou…) and it is going to have its own deb/rpm file (actually Victor already built the deb package, available via deb.kamailio.org repositories).
