[Asterisk-biz] Asterisk monitoring question/poll

[Joseph Benden]

Hello again, :)

I have taken the work done by http://www.faino.it/en/asterisk.html and 
extended it to support SNMP querying of the ZAP alarm states.  I have 
also made it NOT introduce delay and jitter into the Zap channels under 
SNMP querying.  I have also made it build on STABLE 1.0.9.  As soon as I 
have finished some code clean-up and write some good documentation, I 
will be posting it on my website (along with other stuff I've got for 
download there.)

If anyone has any comments, suggestions, ideas for inclusion in to the 
SNMP module, let me know.  I am by default building it as a listening 
SNMP server, so that the main SNMPD is not required.  I am choosing this 
route as I want to ensure the least number of services must run on any 
given Asterisk system.
