[asterisk-users] Monitoring an asterisk server during off hours

[Olivier]

Hi,

During off hours, a server of mine simply forward incoming calls to an
outside number, so that no user is locally available to report or notify
downtimes.
As availability is here a major requirement, I'm looking for a cost
effective and reliable way to monitor this server.

Should I simply call every 10 minutes, a dedicated extension to check PSTN
lines and server availability or is there a smarter way to do it ?

Setup:
Nagios ----- Monitoring Asterisk ---------- PSTN ---------- Monitored
Asterisk --------- VPN access ------www ------- Back to Monitoring Asterisk

With this a single check would test PSTN lines, asterisk server and VPN
access availability.
I don't think it should be very difficult to trigger a call from Nagios.

Regards
