I was toying around in app_rpt.c, and I figured out a way to shorten the telemetry down.

NODE XXXXX Connected to node XXXXX

Is now replaced with:

NODE XXXXX Connected

First, go to the app_rpt.c file, located in

/usr/src/utils/astsrc/asterisk/apps

/usr/src/astsrc-1.4.23/asterisk/apps

View the file app_rpt.c and search for this code below:

if (n < 3) return;
if (wait_interval(myrpt, DLY_TELEM, mychannel) == -1) return;
res = saynode(myrpt,mychannel,strs[2]);
if (!res)
res = ast_streamfile(mychannel, "rpt/connected", mychannel->language);
if (!res)
res = ast_waitstream(mychannel, "");
else
ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "ast_streamfile failed on %s\n", mychannel->name);
ast_stopstream(mychannel);
res = ast_streamfile(mychannel, "digits/2", mychannel->language);
if (!res)
res = ast_waitstream(mychannel, "");
else
ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "ast_streamfile failed on %s\n", mychannel->name);
ast_stopstream(mychannel);
saynode(myrpt,mychannel,strs[1]);
return;

Replace That chunk of code with :

if (n < 3) return;
if (wait_interval(myrpt, DLY_TELEM, mychannel) == -1) return;
if (strcmp(strs[1], myrpt->name) == 0)
{
ast_verbose("\nDialed OUT\n");
res = saynode(myrpt,mychannel,strs[2]);
}
else{
ast_verbose("\nDialed IN\n");
res = saynode(myrpt,mychannel,strs[1]);
}
ast_verbose("Node Connection Test strs[1]=%s ,strs[2]=%s, my_node=%s\n",strs[1],strs[2], myrpt->name);
if (!res)
res = ast_streamfile(mychannel, "rpt/connected", mychannel->language);
if (!res)
res = ast_waitstream(mychannel, "");
else
ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "ast_streamfile failed on %s\n", mychannel->name);
ast_stopstream(mychannel);
/*res = ast_streamfile(mychannel, "digits/2", mychannel->language);*/
if (!res)
res = ast_waitstream(mychannel, "");
else
ast_log(LOG_WARNING, "ast_streamfile failed on %s\n", mychannel->name);
ast_stopstream(mychannel);
/*saynode(myrpt,mychannel,strs[1]);*/
return;
