Chapter 1. Admin Guide
1.1. Overview
This is a module which provides a UNIX/UDP SOCKET transport
layer implementation for the Management Interface.
1.2. DATAGRAM command syntax
The external commands issued via DATAGRAM interface must follow
the following syntax:
* request = first_line (argument '\n')*
* first_line = ':'command_name':''\n'
* argument = (arg_name '::' (arg_value)? ) | (arg_value)
* arg_name = not-quoted_string
* arg_value = not-quoted_string | '"' string '"'
* not-quoted_string = string - {',",\n,\r}
1.3. Dependencies
1.3.1. OpenSIPS Modules
The following modules must be loaded before this module:
* No dependencies on other OpenSIPS modules.
1.3.2. External Libraries or Applications
The following libraries or applications must be installed
before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:
* none
1.4. Exported Parameters
1.4.1. socket_name (string)
The name of a UNIX SOCKET or an IP address. The UNIX datagram
or UDP socket will be created using this parameter in order to
read the external commands. Both IPv4 and IPv6 are supported.
Default value is NONE.
Example 1.1. Set socket_name parameter
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "socket_name", "/tmp/opensips.sock")
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "socket_name", "udp:192.168.2.133:8080")
...
1.4.2. children_count (string)
The number of child processes to be created. Each child process
will be a datagram server.
Default value is 1.
Example 1.2. Set children_count parameter
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "children_count", 3)
...
1.4.3. unix_socket_mode (integer)
Permission to be used for creating the listening UNIX datagram
socket. Not necessary for a UDP socket. It follows the UNIX
conventions.
Default value is 0660 (rw-rw----).
Example 1.3. Set unix_socket_mode parameter
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "unix_socket_mode", 0600)
...
1.4.4. unix_socket_group (integer) unix_socket_group (string)
Group to be used for creating the listening UNIX socket.
Default value is the inherited one.
Example 1.4. Set unix_socket_group parameter
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "unix_socket_group", 0)
modparam("mi_datagram", "unix_socket_group", "root")
...
1.4.5. unix_socket_user (integer) unix_socket_group (string)
User to be used for creating the listening UNIX socket.
Default value is the inherited one.
Example 1.5. Set unix_socket_user parameter
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "unix_socket_user", 0)
modparam("mi_datagram", "unix_socket_user", "root")
...
1.4.6. socket_timeout (integer)
The reply will expire after trying to sent it for
socket_timeout miliseconds.
Default value is 2000.
Example 1.6. Set socket_timeout parameter
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "socket_timeout", 2000)
...
1.4.7. reply_indent (string)
Strings to be used for line indentation. As the MI data
structure is tree oriendeted, the depth level will printed as
indentation.
Default value is ""\t" (TAB)".
Example 1.7. Set reply_indent parameter
...
modparam("mi_datagram", "reply_indent", " ")
...
1.5. Exported Functions
No function exported to be used from configuration file.
1.6. Example
This is an example showing the DATAGRAM format for the
"get_statistics dialog: tm:" MI commad: response.
Example 1.8. DATAGRAM request
:get_statistics:\n
dialog:\n
tm:\n
Chapter 2. Frequently Asked Questions
2.1.
Both UNIX and UDP type of socket can be created simultaneusly?
This version supports only one kind of socket at a time. If
there are more than one value set for socket_name the last one
will take effect.
2.2.
Is there a limit in the datagram request's size?
The maximum length of a datagram request or reply is 65457
bytes.
2.3.
Where can I find more about OpenSIPS?
Take a look at http://www.opensips.org/.
2.4.
Where can I post a question about this module?
First at all check if your question was already answered on one
of our mailing lists:
* User Mailing List -
http://lists.opensips.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/users
* Developer Mailing List -
http://lists.opensips.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
E-mails regarding any stable OpenSIPS release should be sent to
<users@lists.opensips.org> and e-mails regarding development
versions should be sent to <devel@lists.opensips.org>.
If you want to keep the mail private, send it to
