Asterisk AMI event Filder

Since Asterisk 1.8, a new feature was added to the manager interface, the ability to use event filters to baclklist or whitelist manager events. If you use Asterisk 1.8 together with FOP2 you might want to set that up, so, fire up your editor and add the eventfilter lines to your manager.conf file:

[fop2]
secret = supersecret
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
read = all
write = all
writetimeout = 1000
eventfilter=!Event: RTCPSent
eventfilter=!Event: RTCPReceived
eventfilter=!Event: VarSet
eventfilter=!Event: Cdr
eventfilter=!Event: ExtensionStatus
eventfilter=!Event: ChannelUpdate

The eventfilter will blacklist every event that is prefixed with ! and allow/whitelist everything else.

By the way, we can also add the writetimeout directive to avoid fop2 server from being disconnected when Asterisk gets mad.
