I think you have to work with the Zabbix agent. I had the same problem with monitoring my DNS-servers.

Dome.

For TCP/IP definitions, UDP can't be monitored by single check.

Look why:

TCP makes an 3 way handshake, because this you'll get a Listening TCP port on your server and could establish connections to then without using a client specific packet.

Otherwise, UDP don't make this connection. The server receive the client package and responds without establishing connection.

Also, Zabbix can monitor UDP packets if the Crew could implement some pre-defined services (DNS and others) doing the check using a specific packet to check availability(Ex: DNS query of www.zabbix.com).

You can put the agent on the Asterisk server and monitor the server processes,
