Personally if I were monitoring a service, I'd want to know that the service was responding the way you were expecting it to rather than blindly checking whether the port was open. However, one of my previous job was to monitor a large network that was running software that I would consider to be pretty badly broken and the fact that a port was open meant nothing more than the executable was still running - it was quite common for the software behind it to have gone into an infinite loop that promptly ignored all other data. I learnt to be incredibly paranoid if I wanted to be sure that everything was working the way it was supposed to be. UDP presents it's own challenges when it comes to monitoring anyway since there's no guarantee you'll get a reply from the other end. However, in the case of a program such as nmap, I take your point. Nmap is more interested in whether a port is open than whether the software is fully functional or not. ___ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

C'mon, even firewalls give you the option of _not_ logging malformed packets! fiaif does. Else your logfile would be the weak point of your system.

Granted, the monitoring app is simple minded: it only checks if a port is open. In that respect is does a hell of a good job: I hear a beeping alarm as soon as an asterisk instance goes south. So what you are saying is that all monitoring apps should speak native iax, else they are bad? Simply checking if a port is open means it's "misconfigured" or badly written? I wouldn't go so far. Small generic port-monitoring apps should be allowed to check on asterisk without raising such spurious warnings. You know what happens when crying wolf to often, no one listens after a while. A "midget packet" is not corrupted, I do have a stateful firewall (fiaif) to intercept those. AFAIK the onus is on asterisk to adapat: I've suffered too long of the infamous iax2 port-clogging bug that would and render a server 'unreachable' for no good reason. So much so that I went off iax2 entirely and use SIP exclusively for inter-asterisk communication. So much for the muched touted "new and advanced" pbx communication protocol the iax2 was sold for! This deal-breaker bug went unfixed for years until recently, despite numerous asterisk users reporting iax2 anomalies month after month. A I bitter? yes.

[asterisk-users] tired of "midget packet received" warnings
Hi, When monitoring an asterisk through its iax2 port I get these warnings at the console: [Nov 6 13:15:15] WARNING[2209]: chan_iax2.c:7000 socket_process: midget packet received (1 of 4 min) This is triggered by the monitoring app sending a POKE to the iax port. The warning appears even without any '-v'. Is there a way to avoid these warnings? Or at least turn them off when at the console in non-verbose mode?
