[Asterisk-Users] monitoring

[altus]

What I done is
On the asterisk box I out this in crontab for each min.
ps -ax | grep -v grep | grep -i asterisk || echo "asterisk not running"
|mail -s "asterisk on XDFS is down" me at mycompany.co.za
this will mail me if asterisk isnt running
We have a cell provider that offers email to sms so I can just add a cc
option
Also running on the box,each morning at 7am it does

asterisk -rx 'sip show peers' >> /tmp/file
sleep 5
cat /tmp/file | mail -s "Check sip users @ company"  me at mycompany


Then
On the asterisk box I enable iax2,so that port 4569(tcp) is open
Then I get a app called udpping(got it off the wiki)
This will do a udp ping on a ip for port 4569
So
On a different box,I do in the crontab for each 5min

/bin/udpping 1.2.3.4 || echo "no connection to the box" | mail -s "no
connection" me at mtcompany.co.za

Or you could just use nagios 
And another app is called swat,does a tail&grep on log files
(/var/log/asterisk/messages) and greps for words and mails you if it
finds it
But this works for me
Let me know how it goes
