asterisk users - Oct 2011 - A manager event whenever an hint value changes

Hi,

I would like to receive an AMI event whenever an hint value changes.

If I'm not mistaken, this is not possible at the moment (you must query
current hints status and parse response), right ?
Would you appreciate this feature ?
I would see it as cheap way to mimic BLF status on a desktop application.

Regards

Would ExtensionStatus provide the data your looking for?

Event: ExtensionStatus
Privilege: call,all
Exten: 216
Context: ext-local
Hint: SIP/216
Status: 0

IMHO this isn't worthy of feature development since you still have to do X
manager queries regardless.  I do see the value of it if you wanted to see
this every couple of seconds or minutes, but for "instantaneous" (less
than
every 10 seconds or so) I don't think you would really save any AMI/Asterisk
resources.
