Asterisk extension checking

[achu_sab]

Hi all,

Is anybody have idea about how zabbix can monitor, whether an asterisk extension is working (up/down) or not in both SIP and IAX? . If anybody know please reply to this thread.

Thanks

Are you asking for a way to see if your VoIP phones are functioning? If so, have you tried using icmp with the phone's IP address? I have Grandstream GXP-2000s, and I can monitor if they've crashed or not (very useful with these phones) with Zabbix and icmp.

If you can find a command that you can run from the command line (such as through Asterisk's CLI) that returns the data you want, then you have what you need for a solution, but I can't think of one off the top of my head.

Actually this is what I want to check ,
I have an iax connection from a service provider to my asterisk server . Some times it is down and I am not get any notification about it . This makes troubles when people try to call to the asterisk extensions . So I want to check whether that iax connection is up or down.

I tried this
#zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k net.tcp.listen[,4569]
ZBX_NOTSUPPORTED
# zabbix_get -s 127.0.0.1 -k net.tcp.port[,4569]
0
the second command shows 0 but it is fault as iax is up . Is there any way to monitor UDP ports with zabbix ?

Today I created UserParameters for monitoring iax,sip .
UserParameter=iax.status,sudo /usr/sbin/asterisk -rvvvvvx 'iax2 show registry'|grep Registered |wc -l
UserParameter=sip.status,sudo /usr/sbin/asterisk -rvvvvvx 'sip show registry'|grep Registered |wc -l

This will give the output of '1' if the iax2 and sip are "Registerd" . If not it will display 0 .

I found one error in /tmp/zabbix_agentd.log after using this UserParameters,

Please tell me why this is coming and what I need to change ?

This will not work as iax uses UDP.
