I have to second this while acknowledging the overkill caveat. We've got a handful of Nagios checks watching our live Asterisk box: check that call reporting is sane and data is being imported regularly to a mysql db, monitor astmanproxy, monitor asterisk process itself, monitor voicemail backup system, monitor the fax printer, etc... And that's on top of all the checks like disk space, load, and the rest of the run of the mill metrics you tend to monitor on any Linux server. Most recently when we began to notice problems with our PRI it took all of 5m to whip up a differential log file monitor using one of the vanilla Nagios check scripts that would notify us whenever an alarm or checksum error was detected on the circuit. The Nagios check scripts themselves are really simple and comprehensize and the architecture is flexible enough to allow you to write custom checks in whatever language you like. It can be very helpful when you're trying to stay on top of a complex and diverse environment like a PBX. -- Zach Segal Network Operations Gleim Internet _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
