Ari - rest api

[hwy419]

Want to connect an external BPM system to Asterisk and get channel/recording information.

http_custom.conf:

[general]
servername={redacted}
enabled=yes
bindaddr=127.0.0.1
bindport=8080
enable_status=yes

ari_general_custom.conf:

[general]
enabled = yes
pretty = yes
allowed_origins = *

ari_additional_custom.conf

[{redacted}]
type=user
password={redacted}
password_format=plain
read_only=yes

Output of “http show status”:
{redacted}*CLI>http show status

HTTP Server Status:
Prefix:
Server: Asterisk/13.38.1
Server Enabled and Bound to [::]:8088
HTTPS Server Enabled and Bound to [::]:8089

Enabled URI’s:
/httpstatus => Asterisk HTTP General Status
/ari/… => Asterisk RESTful API
/ws => Asterisk HTTP WebSocket

Enabled Redirects:
None.

Any reason it’s not binding to the port I’ve configured in http_custom.conf? Haven’t tried connecting yet but I’m worried now my user isn’t configured either.

just ran “ari show users” and my configured user is listed:

so weird. I don’t mind using 8088 i guess

Unless there’s a need not to, add/remove ARI users from the GUI, not via the conf file. IIRC you can also change the port under advanced settings.

IIRC you can also change the port under advanced settings.

That’s what I’m missing. I guess FreePBX doesn’t really care one way or the other which port http ARI is available, but I can imagine it’s outright necessary FreePBX knows which one.

Thanks so much!
