=== Custom Branding ===
 
'''Product Name:''' Edit <code>config/system_configuration.php</code>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
define('BRAND_NAME', 'YourCompany');
</syntaxhighlight>
 
'''Share Domain:''' Edit <code>brand.php</code> to use your domain instead of share.voipmonitor.org:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">

define('BRAND_DOMAIN', 'yourdomain.com');
</syntaxhighlight>
 
== Custom Login (LDAP/SSO) ==
 
Custom authentication via <code>scripts/custom_login.php</code>. This applies to GUI login only, NOT to API authentication.
 
=== Basic Structure ===
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
<?php
function custom_login($user, $password) {
    // Authenticate against external system (LDAP, etc.)
    // ...
 
    return array(
        'username' => $user,
        'id' => $uniqueNumericId,  // REQUIRED: Must be unique per user!
        'is_admin' => false,
        'id_group' => 1,          // Optional: GUI group ID
        'enable_sensors' => array(1,2,3)  // Optional: restrict to sensors
    );
}
?>
</syntaxhighlight>
 
{{Warning|1='''The <code>id</code> field MUST be unique per user.''' If multiple users return the same ID, they share ALL settings (timezone, dashboard, etc.). Use LDAP <code>uidnumber</code> or <code>crc32($email)</code> for uniqueness.}}
 
=== LDAP Example ===
 
See <code>scripts/ldap_custom_login_example.php</code> in GUI directory.
 
'''Requirements:''' <code>php-ldap</code> package installed.
 
'''Debug from CLI:'''
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
cd /var/www/html/scripts/
php custom_login.php
</syntaxhighlight>
 
Enable debug by uncommenting the debug block at top of script.
 
=== Troubleshooting ===
 
'''Users share settings:''' Return unique <code>id</code> per user (see warning above).
 
'''LDAP users can't view CDRs:''' Ensure <code>is_admin => false</code> and correct <code>id_group</code> is returned.
 
'''Script being deleted:''' GUI antivirus deletes scripts with <code>shell_exec()</code>, <code>exec()</code>, etc.
 
'''Solutions:'''
# Disable antivirus in <code>config/system_configuration.php</code>:
<syntaxhighlight lang="php">
define('DISABLE_ANTIVIRUS', true);
</syntaxhighlight>
# Or move shell commands to external file outside web directory and <code>require_once()</code> it.

VoIPmonitor Web API

This page documents VoIPmonitor's Web APIs for programmatic access to CDR data, recordings, active calls, and system functions.

Overview

API Endpoint Authentication Use Case
HTTP API 2 /php/api.php user/password params CDR queries, recordings, PCAP, active calls
CDR HTTP API /php/model/sql.php Session cookie Advanced CDR filtering with GUI filters

⚠️ Warning: Correct path is critical: Always use /php/api.php (not /api.php). Missing the /php/ directory causes "action parameter missing" errors.

HTTP API 2

Preferred API for programmatic access. Requests via HTTP POST or GET to /php/api.php.

Authentication

Include user and password parameters in every request: 

curl 'http://server/php/api.php?task=getVoipCalls&user=USER&password=PASSWORD&params=...'

ℹ️ Note: API authentication uses local VoIPmonitor database credentials. It does NOT use LDAP or custom_login.php.

Rate Limiting: Enable in GUI > Settings > System Configuration > "API maximal concurrent connections".

getVoipCalls

Retrieve CDR records by search criteria.

Parameters:

Parameter Description
startTime Calls starting >= this time (required)
startTimeTo Calls starting <= this time
callEnd Calls ending <= this time
caller / called Caller/called number
callId SIP Call-ID
cdrId Database ID
id_sensor Sensor number
msisdn Match caller OR called (instead of AND)
onlyConnected 1 = only answered calls
customHeaders Comma-separated custom header names to return

License Check

# Basic license check
curl 'http://server/php/apilicensecheck.php?task=licenseCheck'

# Concurrent calls limit check
curl 'http://server/php/apilicensecheck.php?task=licenseCallsLimitCheck'

Share CDR Configuration

Share Link Types

Use /php/model/utilities.php with task=shareCdr:

Type subType Description
Local Public self_protected_link Password-protected local link
Local Private self_login_link Requires GUI login
voipmonitor.org share_link Public via share.voipmonitor.org

Custom Branding

Product Name: Edit config/system_configuration.php: 

define('BRAND_NAME', 'YourCompany');

Share Domain: Edit brand.php to use your domain instead of share.voipmonitor.org: 

define('BRAND_SHARESITE', 'share.yourdomain.com');
define('BRAND_DOMAIN', 'yourdomain.com');

Custom Login (LDAP/SSO)

Custom authentication via scripts/custom_login.php. This applies to GUI login only, NOT to API authentication.

Basic Structure

<?php
function custom_login($user, $password) {
    // Authenticate against external system (LDAP, etc.)
    // ...

    return array(
        'username' => $user,
        'id' => $uniqueNumericId,  // REQUIRED: Must be unique per user!
        'is_admin' => false,
        'id_group' => 1,           // Optional: GUI group ID
        'enable_sensors' => array(1,2,3)  // Optional: restrict to sensors
    );
}
?>

⚠️ Warning: The id field MUST be unique per user. If multiple users return the same ID, they share ALL settings (timezone, dashboard, etc.). Use LDAP uidnumber or crc32($email) for uniqueness.

LDAP Example

See scripts/ldap_custom_login_example.php in GUI directory.

Requirements: php-ldap package installed.

Debug from CLI: 

cd /var/www/html/scripts/
php custom_login.php

Enable debug by uncommenting the debug block at top of script.

Troubleshooting

Users share settings: Return unique id per user (see warning above).

LDAP users can't view CDRs: Ensure is_admin => false and correct id_group is returned.

Script being deleted: GUI antivirus deletes scripts with shell_exec(), exec(), etc.

Solutions:

  1. Disable antivirus in config/system_configuration.php:
define('DISABLE_ANTIVIRUS', true);
  1. Or move shell commands to external file outside web directory and require_once() it.

Azure AD / Microsoft SSO

For Microsoft Entra ID integration, see Microsoft_Sign_in_usage. For Google, see Google_Sign_in_usage.
