If your IVR script doesn't start or doesn't work as expected, you can open the Asterisk CLI and set the "Agi debug mode" in order to check step-by-step what is wrong in your script.

How to open the Asterisk CLI

 

  1. Connect to the ssh console of xCally server 
  2. Run the command asterisk -r to open the Asterisk CLI
  3. Type agi set debug on to enable IVR debug console
localhost*CLI> agi set debug on
AGI Debugging Enabled

 

Now you are able to check what happens in every block of your IVR script.

For example, we have a script as follow:

On incoming call, we can check the entire call flow in the asterisk CLI, here is the main useful information:

<SIP/my.xcally-00000001>AGI Tx >> agi_request: agi://127.0.0.1/square
