func_redis

func_redis is an Asterisk module to allow the use of Redis from the dialplan. It depends on the hiredis library.

This project was initially forked from Sergio Medina Toledo's func_redis (https://github.com/tic-ull/func_redis) to add hash operations, authentication and database selection.

It's expected that ongoing changes will make this fork no longer backward-compatible with the original project.

This has been tested with Asterisk 1.8 and 11.

Using func_redis

In order to use func_redis you need to configure the settings for the module in the file func_redis.conf. There is an example in samples/func_redis.conf.sample

Example:

[general]
; host of the redis server
; if not defined, use default of 127.0.0.1
hostname=127.0.0.1

; port of the redis server
if not defined, use default of 6379
port=6379

; database index in redis
; if not defined, use default of 0
database=0

; password for redis server
; if not defined, authentication will not be used
;password=s3cr3tp@ssw0rd

; connection time out when connecting to the server
; if not defined, use a default of 5 seconds
timeout=3

; send a BGSAVE on connection close/module unload
; if not defined, use a default of false
bgsave=false

Using func_redis from dialplan

Set a key value

same => n,Set(REDIS(test)=${TEST})

Set a hash value

same => n,Set(REDIS(test,field)=${TEST})

Get the value from a key

same => n,Set(TEST=${REDIS(test)})

Get the value from a hash

same => n,Set(TEST=${REDIS(test,field)})

Delete a key

same => n,NoOp(Deleting test key ${REDIS_DELETE(test)})

Check if a key exists

same => n,GotoIf(${REDIS_EXISTS(test)}?exists:doesnt_exist)

Publish a message to a redis channel

same => n,Set(REDIS_PUBLISH(channel)=test)

Using func_redis from the CLI

You can use these commands related to func_redis in the Asterisk CLI

redis show [pattern]

Shows all of the key values.

[pattern] pattern to match keys

Examples : - h?llo matches hello, hallo and hxllo - h*llo matches hllo and heeeello - h[ae]llo matches hello and hallo, but not hillo
redis hshow <hash>

Shows all of the hash's values for a given hash.
redis set <key> <value>

Sets the key's value to .

redis set <key> <hash> <value>

Sets the hash's value for a given key .
redis del <key>

Deletes the key.
