Chapter 1. Admin Guide

1.1. Overview

This module provides a simple way for handling different events, triggered through the OpenSIPS Event Interface, directly from the OpenSIPS script. For a specific event, a special route (event_route) has to be declared in the script, and should contain the code that handles the event. The route is executed by the module when the corresponding event is raised by the OpenSIPS Event Interface.Since version 1.12, the way an event is handlend (sync/async) should be specified from the configuration script with the desired keyword following the name of the event (event_route[e, sync]).

1.2. ROUTE events parameters

In order to retrieve the parameters of an event, the fetch_event_params(pvar_list) function is used. It receives a single parameter, that consists of a list of parameters names (optional) and the pseudo-variable where the values will be stored. The grammar is:

[ param_name= ] pvar [; [ param_name= ] pvar ]*

Example:

fetch_event_params("$avp(first_param)");
fetch_event_params("ip=$avp(pike_ip)");
fetch_event_params("source=$avp(src);destination=$avp(dst)");

If the name of the parameter is not specified, the avp will be populated according to the order of the parameters, as exported by the event. The following code will populate the $avp(first) avp with the first parameter of the event, $avp(second) with the second one and so on.

fetch_event_params("$avp(first);$avp(second);$avp(third)");

NOTE: An event may be triggered within a different event, leading to nested processing. This function will retrieve the parameters of the currently processed event.

The event name can contain any non-quoted string character, but it is recommended to follow the syntax: E_MODULE_NAME_EXTRA_NAME

1.3. EVENT_ROUTE usage

In order to handle the E_PIKE_BLOCKED event, the following snippet can be used:

Example 1.1. EVENT_ROUTE usage

	event_route[E_PIKE_BLOCKED] {
		fetch_event_params("ip=$avp(pike-ip)");
		xlog("IP $avp(pike-ip) has been blocked\n");
	}
					


1.4. EVENT_ROUTE socket syntax

As the OpenSIPS Event Interface requires, the event_route module uses a specific socket syntax:

'route:' event_name

Example:

route:E_PIKE_BLOCKED

1.5. Dependencies

1.5.1. OpenSIPS Modules

The following modules must be loaded before this module:

  • No dependencies on other OpenSIPS modules.

1.5.2. External Libraries or Applications

The following libraries or applications must be installed before running OpenSIPS with this module loaded:

  • none

1.6. Exported Parameters

The module does not export parameters to be used in configuration script.

1.7. Exported Functions

1.7.1.  fetch_event_params(pvar_list)

Retrieves the parameters of the event. For more information, please read Section 1.2, “ROUTE events parameters”.

The the pseudo variables list as described in Section 1.2, “ROUTE events parameters”.

This function can be used from REQUEST_ROUTE and EVENT_ROUTE.

Example 1.2. fetch_event_params usage

...
fetch_event_params("$avp(first_param)"); # fetch the first parameter of an event
fetch_event_params("ip=$avp(pike_ip)");  # fetch the ip parameter
fetch_event_params("source=$avp(src);destination=$avp(dst)"); # fetch the source and destination parameters
...

Chapter 2. Frequently Asked Questions

2.1.

Can I declare more routes for handling the same event?

No, only a single event_route can be used for a particular event.

2.2.

Where can I find more about OpenSIPS?

Take a look at http://www.opensips.org/.

2.3.

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:

E-mails regarding any stable OpenSIPS release should be sent to and e-mails regarding development versions should be sent to .

If you want to keep the mail private, send it to .

(2) including any documentation-related commits, excluding merge commits. Regarding imported patches/code, we do our best to count the work on behalf of the proper owner, as per the "fix_authors" and "mod_renames" arrays in opensips/doc/build-contrib.sh. If you identify any patches/commits which do not get properly attributed to you, please submit a pull request which extends "fix_authors" and/or "mod_renames".
