[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk monitoring with Nagios and IAX
Hi *, Does anyone have a lead on a Nagios plugin that speaks IAX or a small app to do so? I'm trying to set up remote monitoring for my Asterisk server and only IAX2 traffic is allowed through the firewall. Simply using check_udp to port 4569 yields no usable answer and Asterisk complains about receiving a midget packet or something like that :) jens

At one point there was an application available called iaxping with would send a set of well formed iax packets and wait for the response. Unfortunately that application was written in visual basic, and no source code was distributed. A skilled coder could probably use some of the required functions from iaxclient or libiax2 and create a similar function in C. I think this could be a very important feature for failover, and would love to see a function created to do this. Please let us know what you find or end up doing. Robert Jackson

There is a small Nagios plugin out there but it doesn't do much. We have a very large Nagios installation and I have been struggling to find time to write some Asterisk plugins. I would be interested in helping out (though my IAX knowledge is limited). Also, RoyK on IRC is very involved in the Nagios and Asterisk communities. I'm sure he could be a resource. -Chuji

Shouldn't be too hard to check by IAX2 or SIP neither, given libraries to do so roy

Hi, What do you want to check exacly? that * is still alive? you want to know the number of concurrent call?
