asterisk users - Jul 2018 - How to know the IP of "manager show connected" in dialplan

​I need to launch a remote process at the machine that has the dialer. I
could
hard-code the IP address in a global variable, but It would be much more
elegant if the dialplan would have a "manager" object where I could
read
"manager-->connected". ​

If the dialer is connected to Asterisk using AMI, how about issuing a 
UserEvent in the dialplan, which will then be seen by the logged-in dialer 
process (assuming it's looking at the event stream) and can be acted upon to
launch the (now local) process?

Maybe I'm wrong, but, with the information you give us, for me, it seems
more elegant to use FastAGI to be sure to communicate with the right remote
process.

As Antony suggested, UserEvent is also an option, except if you have
several dialers connected at the same time or if you need to have an
acknowledge that the action is correctly launched.

How about using the CUT() function to get the IP address from the return
from running the System() application running asterisk -rx "manager show
connected"?

I'm not in front of a machine, so cannot test this out...
