The agc/vicidial.php file serves as the primary agent interface in the VICIdial contact center system, managing call handling, dispositioning, and CRM integration. It functions as the main dashboard for agents to manage inbound and outbound calls while relying on backend scripts like vdc_db_query.php for database interaction. For more details, visit vicidial.org. Self develop CRM integration - VICIdial.org
Here’s a thorough, impressive feature specification and implementation plan for adding an “agc” (Automatic Gain Control) module to vicidial.php (Vicidial’s web interface). I assume you want a production-ready feature that integrates AGC controls into the Vicidial agent interface and call handling flow. I’ll make reasonable choices about scope and tech stack (PHP 8+, MySQL, modern JS), and provide architecture, database changes, backend APIs, frontend UI, callflow integration, testing, security, and deployment steps.
If you want a different scope (server-side-only AGC processing, external DSP, or AGC metadata only), tell me and I’ll adapt. Below is a single, complete proposal.
Symptom: In Asterisk CLI:
WARNING[12345]: res_agi.c:123 launch_agi: Unable to launch agc vicidial.php
Cause: The FastAGI service (typically perl vicidial_agc.pl or fastagi-server) is not running.
Fix:
screen -list | grep FASTAGI
/usr/share/astguiclient/start_fastagi.pl # Starts the FastAGI server
vicidial.phpThe vicidial.php file is one of the most critical components in this directory. While Vicidial consists of hundreds of scripts, this specific file acts as a central processing hub. agc vicidial.php
vicidial.php is the workhorse script of the entire Vicidial system. It handles:
When you see agc vicidial.php, you are looking at an instance of the Vicidial AGI script being executed by Asterisk on behalf of a live call or a system process.
Do not use agc vicidial.php in legacy mode. Use the FastAGI daemon: The agc/vicidial
/usr/share/astguiclient/start_fastagi.pl --debug
Then set in extensions.conf:
exten => _91XXXXXXXXXX,1,AGI(agi://127.0.0.1:4577/vicidial.php)
A common point of confusion for newcomers is that there isn't just one vicidial.php. Depending on the version of Vicidial you are running (SVN trunk, version 2.14, 3.x, etc.), the functionality may be split or renamed. Common variations you might see include:
vicidial.php: Often handles admin-level or system-level processing.vicidial_agent_api.php: Heavily used for external integrations and agent screen logic.vicidial_call_menu.php: Handles IVR and call menu logic.Note: Always check your specific version's file structure, as the Vicidial community frequently optimizes code organization. Cause: The FastAGI service (typically perl vicidial_agc
VICIdial has a documented history of vulnerabilities in agc vicidial.php and related scripts:
agent parameter allowed unauthenticated attackers to inject SQL commands, potentially exposing call logs, agent credentials, and customer PII.session_name token could be guessed or reused, allowing an attacker to hijack an agent's session.agc vicidial.php handles data, related upload handlers can be exploited to gain RCE.
