asterisk users - Sep 2006 - IAX2 & SIP Monitoring Solution for Asterisk

Greeting Everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has come up with a reliable method for
remotely monitoring Asterisk boxes.

I need to be able to check if Asterisk is actually providing service
(registering clients, processing calls), not just answering to pings.

In the past I have used sipsak in a cron script to do SIP
registrations, but I haven't been able to find anything similar for
IAX2. Any thoughts?

Regards,
David

argus can monitor using both SIP and IAX.
