A bit of context:
We have a 3rd party dev working on a bit of addon software that he needed to poll the event socket from. While setting that up, I changed the default password from ClueCon in
as I was opening things up to the outside world and didn't want to just rely on ACLs and fail2ban/iptables to prevent someone from finding a way around those then having admin access to the console on my dev pbx.
This is when I started getting "Connection to Event Socket Failed" messages. I searched the documentation, and these forums, high and low, for how to change the password FusionPBX uses to connect to the Freeswitch event socket. Tried many, many of the suggestions I found (like adding an entry under Advanced -> Default Settings, searching the database for an entry etc.)
Finally went sifting through the sourcecode and traced things back to
Which is the script that reads in the fancy new
and has a whole mess of variables that can be added to your the config.conf file including switch.event_socket.password, which I added, and have resolved the "Connection to Event Socket Failed".
I'm going to reach out to the folks at fusionpbx and offer to help update their documentation, as there's a lot of outdated stuff, and gaps.
TLDR: If you've changed password in /etc/freeswitch/autoload_configs/event_socket.conf.xml, add switch.event_socket.password = <password from freeswitch file> into your /etc/fusionpbx/config.conf
