Discussion thread for official Zabbix Template Asterisk

[sergio_arm]

Good day,members of the forum, I can’t understand - when creating a node - where does the Asterisk template take over HTTP the ip address (Agent, jmx, snmp)? I managed to put the ip in the properties of the "Asterisk by HTTP" template itself, but it still doesn't work. Clean new asterisk, clean zabbiks. Any ideas? I re-read the forum thread, it did not help ...
I am using zabbix 5.2 + asterisk 17.7.0.
My config:

[general]
enabled=yes
bindaddr=0.0.0.0
enablestatic=yes
bindport=8088

[general]
enabled = yes
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
webenabled =yes


[zabbix]
secret = zabbix
read = all
write = all
----------------------------------------------------------
Asterisk by HTTP > Zabbix raw items > Asterisk: Get stats

When testing a data item 'Asterisk: Get stats'
in mode get the value "now"
i get answer -

but when i changed the link to http: //my.server-ip:8088/rawman
and removed then added the template https://git.zabbix.com/projects/ZBX/...risk_http.yaml



everything worked wonderfully!

1. Does not work while modules chan_sip, chan_iax2 or app_queue.so are unloaded:

12660:20201028:134703.649 item "pbx:asterisk.get_stats" became supported

Although only pjsip is used on my system.

p.s. chan_sip is now depricated: https://www.asterisk.org/deprecating...0-rc2-release/

2. Only unavailable endpoints in PJSIP peers graph. Why not online?

Hello. All issues have resolved in https://support.zabbix.com/browse/ZBX-18658.

Thank you. I checked it - it seems to work as expected.

When using this template, when trying to force a poll "Execute now" through the "discovery rule", the web interface constantly gives an error:

What could be the cause of this problem? Information can be obtained only about active calls, but I would like to monitor the status of the trunks.
i'm using Zabbix 5.2.3 and FreePBX 13.0.191.11(Asterisk 13.19.1)

Hi,

i test this template and it works fine. One thing i don't understand is item "active channel by SIP trunk" is always 0 for 2 servers (gateway with asterisk version 13.22). I also have 4 servers for users with asterisk 16.9 and the same item show me right number of active call by SIP trunk. These 4 servers are interconnected to the two gateway.
Any idea of how can i debug this issue ? I tried to see if there were any difference between the version and the script but no luck, maybe i'm not good enough
Here are two capture from zabbix lastest data of these items from those ipbx

Thank you

Hi, i am using this template and its working fine but i am not getting the SIP peers in Asterisk: Get stats. The Json does not have the information. I have to do something more in the asterisk to get it?

[bes]

Any ideas on how can I debug why i am not getting any info ?

This template (Asterisk by HTTP) get info by HTTP Agent from zabbix server and from AMI port directly (accessed from zabbix server).
$AMI.URL should be accessed from zabbix server (without auth, because js that process data not honor auth even if you set it in asterisk.get_stats)
$AMI.PORT should be accessed from zabbix server because it check it directly by tcp
zabbix 5.2 still can't do it through zabbix-agent
To debug. Connect template to host, set macros values, open item get_stats, test button at end, get value and test value

Hello! why does not it work templare Asterisk HTTP

1) Enable web manager
/etc/asterisk/manager.conf

Code:
[general]
enabled = yes
webenabled = yes
httptimeout = 600
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0

[zabbix]
secret = zabbix
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=127.0.0.1/255.255.255.0
permit= 192.168.1.11/255.255.255.255
permit= 192.168.1.3/255.255.255.255
read = all
write = all
displayconnects=no


2) Reload Asterisk Manager

Code:
asterisk -rx "manager reload"



Code:
http://my_local_ip:8088/rawman?actio...&secret=zabbix

Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepte

4) Applied the Asterisk HTTP template

5) I assigned the Template to my server and set the following

Code:
{$AMI.SECRET} zabbix
{$AMI.URL} http://192.168.1.12:8088/rawman
{$AMI.USERNAME} zabbix
{$AMI.PORT} 8088
I am using a Zabbix Proxy not sure if that is useful info.

Hello Support team!
I have Asterisk 11.25 version, which monitored by zabbix 5.2 server using template_tel_asterisk_http. And everything is fine, but in my network I have E1 channels and I should to monitor them. Monitoring logically and physically state of this entities. Manually I make the following commands "ss7 show channels" and "dahdi show status" - for checking physically status of E1 cards.
Could you advise how I can monitor it in zabbix ? Or can I change or customize Asterisk template, cause I have no PJSIP and IAX and i could replace them.
Thank you in advance.

Do you have active SIP peers? What does the command sip show peers show?

Did you permit access from the Zabbix server to Asterisk in the Asterisk server config and on firewalls between servers?

[shdwlynx]

First, I'd like to thank everyone over the years who posted to this forum. While the Zabbix documentation is very useful, seeing actual real-life examples in context really helps.

To that end, I modified the 5.2 template to add a new value. In our case, we need to know not just how many channels are active per SIP trunk, but the sum total of all active channels across all SIP trunks.
Added new data value: "Asterisk: SIP all trunks active channels" (asterisk.sip.all_trunks_active_channels)
Added two new triggers (and Macros) for above, both a warning threshold and a max threshold.

In the process, I also addressed a minor issue that only affects those of us foolish mortals who use SIP trunk names that are longer than 16 characters. The "fix" is only useful if your SIP trunk names do not have unique characters at the end of them because the "core show channels" command used by the template to get a list of active channels only provides the first 16 characters.

I've attached the YAML if anyone is interested (just do a compare/diff vs. the 5.2 YAML to see what I changed/added). I had to zip it up so that the forum would allow me to attach it.

Hey Guys.

So i am having problems getting this template to work. I have a test Zabbix server thats running 5.4.0beta1.(Will this template work with 5.4?) The guys that run the Asterisk box say they cant create a user (zabbix) as shown in the instructions. We can only use the admin user. Is this a problem? If i try the get_stats item i am just getting a "404 response code?" Does this mean that the config on the Asterisk side is wrong? This is the URL (http://IPADDRESS:8088/asterisk/rawman)? Any help would be much appreciated.

Yes, the template works with 5.4. You can use the admin user at one's own risk.
At least you should enable the mini-HTTP Server, add the option webenabled=yes in the general section of the manager.conf file

Hello. Could you share the AMI output of commands "ss7 show channels" and "dahdi show status"? Your collaboration would help to improve the template. Thanks.
