I want to have our monitoring system call me if a high level alert event happens. I could use SMS to get my attention but I don't have an SMS gateway available to me. Is there a way I can have the system run a script (via ssh) on the pbx that will call my number and read me the message? Has anyone done anything like this? I also thought of setting the CallerID Name to "Server5 down" for example. Any ideas on this appreciated. -- Chris Mason NetConcepts (264) 497-5670 Fax: (264) 497-8463 Int: (305) 704-7249 Fax: (815)301-9759 Cell: 264-235-5670 Yahoo IM: netconcepts_anguilla@yahoo.com

If you're definition of event is simply analyzing syslog messages and notifying you based on keywords, there are several products that can be combined to send voice messages to your cell phone, etc. In the intrusion detection world, snortsnarf is a perl script that can be used to analyze syslog-type text messages and do something with those that match your defined criteria. That might include sending a text based message to another asterisk system (that is assured of being up), and then have it call you with a festival voice message (or something like that). Google for SnortSnarf.

Then use a bit of scripting + festival to read out the message to you. Cheers, Jean-Michel.

We use both Bayham Systems (www.bayhamsystems.com) and Connection Software (www.csoft.co.uk - quote offer code PB45 for an introductory discount, yes it's my affiliate code, feel free to ignore). Both providers can easily be integrated over HTTP or SMTP using a shell script, perl, etc and/or via AGI (we use Bayham for MWI notifications to cellphones).

I do not remember where I saw it, but it was for Asterisk and Nagios. I believe they had festival and a sip client on the nagios server and would just place a sip call and have festival read the alert. I do not have more info, sorry. I am using the manager interface to get info from asterisk into my Nagios server, but I am only doing notifications via email and modem/TAP. -- -- Steven May you have the peace and freedom that come from abandoning all hope of having a better past. --- - --- - - - - - - - -- - - - --- - ------ - - --- - - -- - - - -- - - - "Chris Mason (Lists)" <lists@masonc.com> wrote in message news:439BF6C7.8090506@masonc.com...> >>A lot of that depends on your definition of an "event", the detection >>of that event, and what you might have for available resources to deal >>with the event. >> > The "Event" would be a Nagios alert, and I can write a custom EventHandler > to send a message to Asterisk via a script over SSH, or just send an email > as it now does. > > -- > Chris Mason > > > _______________________________________________ > --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- > > Asterisk-Users mailing list > To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: > http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users >
