asterisk users - Jun 2009 - Nagios under *

Hi 
I am trying to implement monitoring of asterisk (all 4 spans-i want to show them
line by line Up or down) using nagios using below script, but i always get the
status as down and red..can anyone let me know how to read an output from nagios
plugin ? nagios etc is configured already and is working
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
FAILS=""

       STATUS=$(asterisk -rnx "pri show span 1" | grep -a Status | awk
'{print $3;}' | cut -d, -f1)
       if [ "${STATUS}" == "Up" ]; then
  echo "PRI UP"
              exit 0
        else
  echo "PRI DOWN"
              exit 2
       fi

if i execute the script from command line i get the correct output i.e OK for
span 1 but on nagios web interface i get it as down...
If anyone can share the above script for asterisk monitoring then i wud be
grateful

I'm a 1.2 Luddite, but here's my $0.02.

Does the user running Nagios have access to /var/run/asterisk.ctl?

Using sudo will work. You could change the ownership or permissions of 
asterisk.ctl, but using sudo should survive upgrades better and has less 
chance of breaking something else.

FAILS is never used.

You don't need grep or cut. Since (I'm assuming) this script will run 
frequently, cutting the number of processes created in half seems like a 
good idea.

        STATUS=$(sudo asterisk -rnx "pri show span 1"\
                 | awk '/Status/ {print $3}'\
                 )

         if      [ "Up," == "${STATUS}" ]
         then    echo "PRI UP"
                 exit 0
         else    echo "PRI DOWN"
                 exit 2
         fi

Keep in mind that if the span has multiple D channels (like an NFAS group) 
you will get multiple statuses.

I'm not a big fan of using "-rx." I think AMI should be used for
all new
code.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Steve

I tried your script :

        STATUS=$(sudo asterisk -rnx "pri show span 1"\
                 | awk '/Status/ {print $3}'\
                 )

         if      [ "Up," == "${STATUS}" ]
         then    echo "PRI UP"
                 exit 0
         else    echo "PRI DOWN"
                 exit 2
         fi

but still i get PRI down in the Nagios web interface while if i execute this
command from command line i get PRI UP...i m really going mad..did a clean
install again but still same problem.. Iv;e also given permission of 777 to the
script and saved it under /usr/local/nagios and given the same path in
commands.cfg under objects folder of /usr/local/nagios/etc ... can anyone please
help me out ?

Thanks Sriram
