Monitoring Asterisk Peers with Munin

Paul McCormackTechnology

I have just uploaded a modified script to the Munin Exchange web site to allow Munin to monitor the number of online and offline SIP Peers.

I hope you find it useful.

    Dear Paul.

    Thank you for your writing a profitable script.

    However, only 0 always returns the value though I executed this script.

    Are some settings necessary?

    Best Regards.

    Hi,

    You should see something like this:

    paul@server1:/etc/munin/plugins$ ./asterisk_sippeers
    peers_online.value 4
    peers_offline.value 0
    unmon_online.value 2
    unmon_offline.value 3

    The difference between the monitored and unmonitored is the qualify=yes/no setting of the peer.

    The script uses the output of
    asterisk -rx "sip show peers"
    What result do you get from this command?

    Does this help? If not, please let me know the command and result that you are getting.

    When I put your output through the script, I get the following:

    paul@server1:~$ ./asterisk_sippeers_test
    peers_online.value 2
    peers_offline.value 3
    unmon_online.value 1
    unmon_offline.value 0

    This is the result I would expect. Can you please run the asterisk_sippeers script and provide the output?

    Running via munin-run works for me. As the script works for you when you run it directly, this suggests a problem with the config of munin-node.

    Have you created the symbolic link from the file in /usr/share/munin/plugins/asterisk_sippeers to your config directory and then restarted munin-node?

    For me, it is:
    cd /etc/munin/plugins
    sudo ln -s /usr/share/munin/plugins/asterisk_sippeers .
    sudo /etc/init.d/munin-node restart

    Regards,

    Paul

    Please also check permissions. It could be that your munin user is not permitted to run the asterisk command.

    I have the following in my /etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node file:
    [asterisk*]
    user asterisk
