This works only if you run zabbix as a privileged user (the same as runs
asterisk, so probably root).
But this is still a polling solution, not event based as the OP wants.
I tried this approach with zabbix to get an overview of the amount of
active lines versus time. I did not succeed because of the permission
problem. I can only achieve it using a cron job and have the result read
by zabbix, which is not very elegant.
