Sent by: asterisk-users-boun...@lists.digium.com Hi, I'm seeing a trend in which SIP devices such as Yealink SIP phones (with v72 firmware), are dropping support of SNMP in favor of HTTP eventing if may call this as such : when configuring the SIP device, you can define a couple of HTTP URL which triggered when some event occur (end of boot, on hook, ...). How do deal with those devices ? Do you still try to monitor them with usual tools (Nagios, OpenNMS) or do you favor another class of software ? We don't monitor our phone endpoints (we do our trunks), but if I were to, I would probably set up a simple webserver with some php that would write the logs to a sql database. What you describe isn't really as good as snmp though, because I can have my monitoring system poll snmp devices, whereas HTTP eventing depends on an event happening to trigger the contact. If the phone goes down hard or locks up, I may not know there is a problem or just no events have happened. I hope at the least, they have a keep alive event that can periodically access the url to indicate all is well. On things I want to monitor, I just don't like the idea of not being able to have my monitoring system talk to them and depending on them talking to my monitoring system. That would probably make me heavily reconsider buying any more of their products if it was something I depended on.-- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

If you set qualify on your peers you could monitor the event stream of the AMI which would show you any end point going unreachable. This is what i do. Certain 'important' SIP endpoints have a qualify setting in Asterisk and i use AMI (or 'asterisk -rx ...') to query that state with an SNMP-extend hook.
