Interact with Asterisk PBX via ARI (Asterisk REST Interface)

Recordings → Pause Live

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Asterisk PBX system via the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI). Specifically, the 'Pause Live' operation under the 'Recordings' resource allows users to pause a live recording by specifying the recording name. This is useful in telephony scenarios where live call recordings need to be temporarily halted without stopping or deleting the recording entirely.

Use Case Examples

  1. Pausing a live call recording during a conference call to avoid capturing sensitive information.
  2. Temporarily halting a live recording during a call for compliance or privacy reasons.

Properties

Name Meaning
Recording Name The name of the live recording to be paused. This is a required string input used to identify which live recording should be paused.

Output

JSON

  • recordingStatus - The status or confirmation response indicating the live recording has been paused.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for Asterisk REST Interface (ARI) authentication.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the recording name provided matches an active live recording; otherwise, the operation will fail.
  • Check that the Asterisk server is reachable and the ARI base URL is correctly configured in the node credentials.
  • Common errors include authentication failures due to invalid API credentials and network errors if the Asterisk server is down or unreachable.
