Allmon3 VOTER Configuration

[Mason10198]

I run a VOTER system on a private Asterisk/app_rpt network. I have switched to ASL3 without issues - however, I am unable to get voter.html to function correctly in Allmon3. I am sure I have made a configuration error, but I’m unable to catch my error(s) after reading the Allmon3 documentation.

Debian 12 amd64 VM + ASL3 (fully updated)

; allmon3/allmon3.ini
[1117]
host=127.0.0.1
user=admin
pass=supersecretpassword
voter=y
votertitle=TEST

; asterisk/manager.conf
[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 ; Comment when not localhost access

[admin]
secret = supersecretpassword
read = all,system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config
write = all,system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,config
;deny = 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0         ; Uncomment when not localhost
;permit=1.2.3.4/255.255.255.255 ; Uncomment when not localhost

When attempting to access /allmon3/voter.html#1117, I am greeted with an undefined API error:

The logs do not show anything super detailed:

It is not clear to me from the Node Configuration section of the documentation what exactly the voters option accomplishes. The description states:

voters - List voters on this server, comma separate. No value disabled voters

but I have yet to see an example of how this is properly used. Do I need to define this?

I can see several public Allmon3 servers with VOTER displays that appear to be working fine, so I’m sure I am missing something simple. Unless… am I the first one to try using a private node # (<2000)?

As always, massive thanks to the ASL team and everyone who supports open-source projects like this one.

You’re mixing config directives between allmon3.ini and web.ini. For allmon3.ini you need voters=1117. The voter-titles is a stanza in web.ini.

[Mason10198]

I see… the following allmon3.ini does work without issue:

[1117]
host=127.0.0.1
user=admin
pass=supersecretpassword
voters=1117

My confusion is due to the documentation showing the following:

Here’s an example…:

[48496]
host=192.2.0.145
user=admin
pass=password
voter=y
votertitle=Megavoter

According to the table of options directly above the example in the documentation, voter and votertitle are not valid options for allmon3.ini.

Perhaps the example should be changed to:

[48496]
host=192.2.0.145
user=admin
pass=password
voters=48496

[N8EI]

Oh, that’s a good catch and my mistake. I was copy-pasting in different parts of various repo README.md contents to build the page. That was an early pre-beta format for the voter configuration. I’ll get that fixed.

@N8EI I do believe “colocated_on = 1234” works, however is not documented. It does make it easier than listing out the host, user, and pass for each node that is colocated on the same server.
