Hello

I'm using a standard Asterisk install with default settings, and when
I run "reload", I see that Asterisk fetches configuration information
from a lot more sources than just my extensions.conf and sip.conf.

For instance:

-- Registered indication country 've'
-- Registered indication country 'za'
-- Setting default indication country to 'us'
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/features.conf': Found
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/adsi.conf': Found
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/dundi.conf': Found
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/extensions.conf': Found
== Parsing '/etc/asterisk/users.conf': Found
[Feb 21 03:29:15] NOTICE[2563]: pbx_ael.c:4094 pbx_load_module:
Starting AEL load process.
[Feb 21 03:29:15] NOTICE[2563]: pbx_ael.c:4101 pbx_load_module: AEL
load process: calculated config file name
'/etc/asterisk/extensions.ael'.
etc.

How can I go and trim things down?

Thank you.

Thanks, but this file doesn't hold much that's uncommented by default:

# cat /etc/asterisk/modules.conf
[modules]
autoload=yes
noload => pbx_gtkconsole.so
noload => pbx_kdeconsole.so
load => res_musiconhold.so
noload => chan_alsa.so

Is this really the only file that Asterisk reads to know what to load?

Head off into /etc/asterisk/modules.conf and add some 'noload' lines.

We do:

in modules.conf:

noload => pbx_ael.so
noload => pbx_dundi.so
noload => res_config_pgsql.so
noload => res_smdi.so

in extensions.conf delete every context [default], [demo], whatever

in sip.conf, iax.conf delete all peer/users if any

Ah, makes sense. Asterisk loads everything, and must be told
explicitely _not_ to load something Smile

Is there a comprehensive list that explains what each and every module
does, so that I know what I can safely not load?

Thanks.

"autoload=yes" says to load everything, so you either need to change it
to no and then add load statements for every module you need, or leave
it as yes and then add noload for everything you don't need.

first off I anwered you to use vi and you complained showing me cat.
then for your next question about ehat each module does. show module
in asterisk in combination with show application as well as a peak at
the source should give you a clue.
also the module names are quite descriptive.

Delete extensions.ael too, unless you're using AEL instead of the dialplan

extensions.ael is harmless on its own.

Hmmm... try starting from an empty configuration directory and put in
only what you need?

The sample files are very handy, but are always available for you
separately.

For the brave: use modules.conf without 'autoload = yes'. This promises
you many hours of interesting dialplan debugging. Enjoy.

It seemed that the default extensions.ael created some demo contexts and
extensions that might befuddle a new user, I could be wrong

Is there any method of automatically parsing a dialplan and generating a
list of the modules required to support it?

There's some misunderstanding. I didn't complain. I just didn't know
if Asterisk only looked for stuff in modules.conf because there was so
little there and so much stuff scrolling by when I type "reload".

Before loading modules explicitely, I need to make sure what each does
precisely, and what the interdependencies are, if any, so that I know
what the consequences are if I decide not to load a mdoule that looks
like it's not needed on my setup.

Thanks.

Yup, that's what I anticipated, which is why I was asking which
modules I can _safely_ remove without breaking things Smile

You'd have to also know which modules were loaded and what applications
they have registered.

I suspect doing so would take a partial loding of Asterisk. How is
apache's configtest implemented?
