Asterisk_ interaction via *ARI*
===========================================
Scenario
--------
- Asterisk out of *basic-pbx* configuration samples.
- Considering the following users: 1001-prepaid, 1002-postpaid, 1003-pseudoprepaid, 1004-rated, 1007-rated.
- **CGRateS** with following components:
- CGR-SM started as translator between Asterisk_ and **CGR-RALs** for both authorization events (prepaid/pseudoprepaid) as well as postpaid ones.
- CGR-CDRS component processing raw CDRs from CGR-SM component and storing them inside CGR StorDB.
- CGR-CDRE exporting rated CDRs from CGR StorDB (export path: */tmp*).
- CGR-History component keeping the archive of the rates modifications (path browsable with git client at */tmp/cgr_history*).
Starting Asterisk_ with custom configuration
----------------------------------------------
::
/usr/share/cgrates/tutorials/asterisk_ari/asterisk/etc/init.d/asterisk start
To verify that Asterisk_ is running we run the console command:
::
asterisk -r -s /tmp/cgr_asterisk_ari/asterisk/run/asterisk.ctl
ari show status
Starting **CGRateS** with custom configuration
----------------------------------------------
::
/usr/share/cgrates/tutorials/asterisk_ari/cgrates/etc/init.d/cgrates start
Make sure that cgrates is running
::
cgr-console status
CDR processing
--------------
At the end of each call Asterisk_ will generate an CDR event and due to automatic handler registration built in **CGRateS-SM** component, this will be directed towards the port configured inside *cgrates.json*. This event will reach inside **CGRateS** through the *SM* component (close to real-time). Once in-there it will be instantly rated and be ready for export.
**CGRateS** Usage
-----------------
Since it is common to most of the tutorials, the example for **CGRateS** usage is provided in a separate page `here <http://cgrates.readthedocs.org/en/latest/tut_cgrates_usage.html>`_
