asterisk users - Jul 2010 - Asterisk stopped after Internet connection dropped ?! Asterisk 1.4.26.1

Hi Everyone,

This is probably more related to Linux than to Asterisk. Analogue channels
on a system were un-responsive on Monday morning. Apparently something
happened over the weekend and the router went off or it lost it's DSL
connection.

See the jump from Jul 23rd to Jul 26th. Is this an indication of Asterisk
being down? I don't see any of that but yet no calls are on the report for
July 24th and 25th indicating to me that Analogue channels, or Asterisk, or
the server was down during this time as this office always receives calls on
the weekend to the IVR.

Where are the logs for eth0 so that I can check to see why this happened and
if indeed it was a drop in internet connection. If so, and this is the known
bug for Asterisk stop working due to internet drop, why is it not listed in
the log file posted above?

Thanks,

What sort of logging output do you normally get when asterisk starts?

without more information I'd guess that the server was sleeping...

No, it just means there was no logger activity for those days.  You
need to add a monitoring solution to your Asterisk box (IE: AMI:
Ping).
