Asterisk Phone System Monitoring
Hi All,
Have a Asterisk box running on CentOS (FreePBX is the GUI). Just asking to see if anyone is using Hobbit to monitor their Asterisk server and if so if you could pass along any helpful tid bits to get the most out of Hobbit monitoring of this box (procs , logs , files to watch?). Already have Hobbit monitoring the Win boxes and a ESX box and all is well. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

I have it monitoring the standard checks; proc, cpu, disk etc and have written 2 extensions monitoring the IAX trunks and ISDN PRI line. Fairly simple checks "iax2 show peers" and then cut until it is given that all lines are ok.
I have been looking at Nagios which has a sip_check script as I would like to have a test on asterisk actually running, but I havent gotten around to do it.

Has anyone thought of using Hobbit and Asterisk for an alert type? Festival and an email turning into a phone call would be very cool :)

Some folks using MisterHouse for Home Automation are doing voice messages via Asterisk, for things like reminders and alarm trips . This link came up on the MisterHouse mailing list a couple of days ago:
http://www.xapautomation.org/index.php?title=Asterisk_Unattended_Dialout
The email included this Perl fragment:
my $notify_number = '1888xxxxxxx';
my $notify_msg = 'This is a test';
# don't modify the following unless the xAP target for your
# axc instance is different from liming.axc.house
&xAP::sendXap('liming.axc.house', 'messenger.event',
'Message.Receive' => { from => 'mh',
body => "axc-notify $notify_number $notify_msg" });for sending an example test message.
I don't have Asterisk, so I have no idea how easy/hard it would be to integrate with Hobbit, but I suspect the above info would go some way towards making it work... :)

I used Asterisk a few years ago and from what I know it should be quite simple. Again, like Ralph, I don't use Asterisk at this time =( Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373

Hi
Does anybody know the current email address of Gildas Le Nadan, author of the lsf_mon.pl and lsf_queues.pl on the Shire? My colleague managed to make a few improvements to these excellent scripts, and it might be good to fold the changes back into the code.
One of the changes he made, was if you run a test (from command line perhaps) and the $BB* variables are not defined, and you are on a terminal, then run and display output to standard-out. He does this for most of the things he writes that are to be included into hobbit, and I believe it is a good idea, and should be adopted for all Hobbit script writers.
It's a little more difficult if the script is reliant on $BBHOME to access files, but if there is a way to run from command line, it should.

I've been using these for a while now. The latest Asterisk 1.4.21.2 seems to have a small problem with the IAX2 one, someone else has a problem with the SIP one. UDP test are harder to reliably test.

We had an 'event' earlier in the week where a file ended as zero-length, so I want to monitor it with hobbit.
Unfortunately, it is mode 600 owned by root, in a directory mode 600 owned by root.
I'd like to report this under the 'files' column, but I'd rather not do logfetch as suid rot.
Has anyone had luck using the file:command interface to use sudo?
Any other suggestions?
TIA

we have hobbit client depend on sudo software and create an sudo entry in sudoer file to specify which command hobbit client can run as root.

Hi Tom,
what about a cronjob copying the file every minute and changing the rights of the copy? Then you may monitor the copy.

Well, among other things - the file that went missing was a crontab . . .
I've built a small perl script to get the data and dump it out to the client data stream; hobbit runs it via sudo. I'm also looking at logfetch.c, the hobbit program that does the process. I can see Henrik has thought about this, because the code to get and drop root permissions is present - bracketed by ifdefs for 'BIG_SECURITY_HOLE'.
I need to satisfy myself about the logfetch code, and then I think a recompile may be in order.
(Complicating the issue, AIX does not have a 'stat' command, and the 'istat' command does not give similar output).

The BIG_SECURITY_HOLE shows up because logfetch has no way of validating that it is using a configuration file that hasn't been tampered with. So if you run logfetch as root, you can feed it a config file listing secret files that you want to read (like /etc/shadow), and it will happily read them for you and put the contents into the Hobbit client-message. Not good ...
A custom status-check might be the simplest way of doing what you want.

I've been using these for a while now. The latest Asterisk 1.4.21.2 seems to have a small problem with the IAX2 one, someone else has a problem with the SIP one. UDP test are harder to reliably test.

Thank You Thomas! Installed the client and started to do some initial configurations. If you have some extensions you can pass along I would be grateful!

I have it monitoring the standard checks; proc, cpu, disk etc and have written 2 extensions monitoring the IAX trunks and ISDN PRI line. Fairly simple checks "iax2 show peers" and then cut until it is given that all lines are ok.
I have been looking at Nagios which has a sip_check script as I would like to have a test on asterisk actually running, but I havent gotten around to do it.

[hobbit] Asterisk Phone System Monitoring
Hi All,
Have a Asterisk box running on CentOS (FreePBX is the GUI). Just asking to see if anyone is using Hobbit to monitor their Asterisk server and if so if you could pass along any helpful tid bits to get the most out of Hobbit monitoring of this box (procs , logs , files to watch?). Already have Hobbit monitoring the Win boxes and a ESX box and all is well. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
