Asterisk by HTTP

Overview

For Zabbix version: 5.2 and higher
The template for monitoring Asterisk over HTTP that works without any external scripts.
It collects metrics by polling the Asterisk Manager API remotely using an HTTP agent and JS preprocessing.
All metrics are collected at once, thanks to Zabbix's bulk data collection.

This template was tested on:

Zabbix, version 5.0 and later
Asterisk, version 13 and later

Setup

See Zabbix template operation for basic instructions.

You should enable the mini-HTTP Server, add the option webenabled=yes in the general section of manager.conf file and create Asterisk Manager user in your Asterisk instance. Then you can define {$AMI.USERNAME} and {$AMI.SECRET} macros in the template for using on the host level.

Zabbix configuration

No specific Zabbix configuration is required.

Macros used

Name	Description	Default
{$AMI.PORT}	AMI port number for checking service availability.	`8088`

{$AMI.SECRET}	The Asterisk Manager secret.	`zabbix`
{$AMI.TRUNK_ACTIVE_CHANNELS.MAX.WARN}	The maximum number of busy channels for trigger expression.	`28`
{$AMI.TRUNK_REGEXP}	The regexp for the identification of trunk peers.	`trunk`
