Hello,
kamcli (kamailio command line interface tool written in python) got a consistent set of features trying to become in pair with kamctl. It is currently hosted by asipto organization on github, but I am considering to transfer (move) it to kamailio organization in order to manage easier the access for kamailio devs as well as increase its exposure to community.
It interacts with kamailio using rpc commands via jsonrpcs module.
You can read more about what it can do at:
- https://github.com/asipto/kamcli
The commands are implemented in a plugin-like fashion -- see the ones done so far:
- https://github.com/asipto/kamcli/tree/master/kamcli/commands
Given that it can handle better the jsonrpc responses, provides more options to format the output and the help is embedded in each command, I think it is a good candidate to replace the old shell(bash)-based kamctl.
Probably we can adjust kamctl for rpc when mi code will be removed, but the options to build and extend in long term a good cli for kamailio are quite limited in shell.
For the sake of an example, here is the implementation of 'ps' command, handling the json rpc to display a very compact list of kamailio processes:
- https://github.com/asipto/kamcli/blob/master/kamcli/commands/cmd_ps.py
Dealing with database records is also rather trivial:
- https://github.com/asipto/kamcli/blob/master/kamcli/commands/cmd_group.py
Anyone with comments/suggestions/alternatives?
Cheers, Daniel
Hello,
kamcli has been relocated to kamailio organization -- the link to the repository is now:
- https://github.com/kamailio/kamcli
All kamailio developers should have write access to commit changes to it (if encountering troubles, let me know). If anyone else wants to contribute, it's recommended to use the usual way via pull requests.
Cheers, Daniel
