Shan, If you are using Lua you can access that information by calling a Lua script from the dialplan and utilizing the API. api = freeswitch.API(); local channelCount = api:executeString("show channels"); session:consoleLog("crit", "here I am I worked," .. channelCount); This printed “[CRIT] switch_cpp.cpp:1284 here I am I worked, uuid,direction,created,created_epoch,name,state,cid_name,cid_num,ip_addr,dest,application,application_data,dialplan,context,read_codec,read_rate,read_bit_rate,write_codec,write_rate,write_bit_rate,secure,hostname,presence_id,presence_data,callstate,callee_name,callee_num,callee_direction,call_uuid,sent_callee_name,sent_callee_num,initial_cid_name,initial_cid_num,initial_ip_addr,initial_dest,initial_dialplan,initial_context 7bf61657-5dfe-4797-8c99-59e382cfb422,inbound,2016-01-25 17:59:34,1453773574,sofia/external/1000@192.168.0.10,CS_EXECUTE,1000,1000,192.168.0.10,1001,playback, ring.wav,XML,public,PCMU,8000,64000,PCMU,8000,64000,,TestMedia1,,,ACTIVE,,,,,,,1000,1000,192.168.0.10,1001,XML,public 1 total.” You will more than likely need to parse this to meet your needs. For further information on the Lua API there is a wiki doc that might help you. https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Lua+API+Reference#LuaAP...
