    The Asterisk Manager allows a client program to connect to an Asterisk instance and issue commands or read PBX events over a TCP/IP stream. Integrators will find this particularly useful when trying to track the state of a telephony client inside Asterisk, and directing that client based on custom (and possibly dynamic) rules.

    A simple "key: value" line-based protocol is utilized for communication between the connecting client and the Asterisk PBX. Lines are terminated using CRLF. For the sake of discussion below, we will use the term "packet" to describe a set of "key: value" lines that are terminated by an extra carriage return.
