[Asterisk-biz] Asterisk monitoring question/poll

[Joseph Benden]

Hello,

There are a few tools to monitor SIP and IAX2 protocol communications, 
and there is one SNMP module for monitoring channel information 
(http://www.faino.it/en/asterisk.html which doesn't compile right on 
CentOS BTW); however, what I'm wanting to know peoples thoughts on are:

What about if I wrote a module that gave SNMP answers for Zap span 
alarms?  (Think about having the output available from ZTTOOL)

My thinking is that by doing this, we're able to page ourselves if SNMP 
isn't answering (ahhhh, the box is dead!) and we'll know if T1/E1s go 
into alarm states.  This in combination with existing tools to monitor 
SIP and IAX2 should give us the full picture if Asterisk is alive and 
well, right?

What's everyone's thoughts?  Would this solve the problem?

Thanks,
