Sending Notifications via Asterisk

[rhettich]

Greettings, I am looking for a way to send notifications via SIP / Asterisk, does any one have a script for this?

Hi,

I don't have a script but we can make one. What do you need?

given a specific trigger/event Zabbix could initiate a call to either a internal or external Asterisk server. I suspect this could be done using the Asterisk call files.

It's pretty straight forward - drop a file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing as per the instructions at http://www.voip-info.org/wiki-Asterisk+auto-dial+out

I understand the Asterisk side, need to understand how to tell Zabbix when to drop the file in btw I am Zabbix newbie.

Check the documentation for the system.run macro. Use that in the action.

Or, use a slight variation on what's described at http://www.zabbix.com/wiki/doku.php?id=howto:smsapi

That explains how to run a custom script when a trigger fires. Just change that script to create the call file, rather than sending an SMS.

I documented some of this and ended up implemented this extensively a few years ago.
