Hi Erik,

I would consider Icinga in future, looks a good tool.
But, it doesn't solve the problem, I'm facing right now, Nagios and other
tools, these
are good for monitoring.
I really need a tool, which can monitor SIP traffic and based on a metric
like (average SIP response
time) assign a call load score to a node and in Kamailio, I would use the
'call load score'
in Kamailio to make my routing decision.
And I can't also rely on a system metric like CPU load, because that will
provide me input about
just one node, for end-to-end call routing, there are so many nodes
involved, that is why I'm interested
in a metric like 'SIP response time'.

Thanks,
Nitesh
