Title

Problem

Once Asterisk is in production usage it can become a very important part of a business or an individual, therefore monitoring Asterisk is very important.

Solution

There are a few solutions and it will generally require mixing and matching to meet your needs.

We will provide a solution using a simple Perl script:

-

Asterisk SNMP Configuration:

Asterisk SNMP configuration file should look like:

shell$> cat /etc/asterisk/res_snmp.conf

[general]
subagent = yes
enabled  = yes

Next you have to configure SNMP on the box so it will generate two communities, one for the default, the other for the Asterisk sub-agent.

SNMP configuration file should look like:

shell$> cat /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

rocommunity <COMMUNITY_NAME>
master agentx
agentXperms 0660 0550 nobody asterisk
com2sec local localhost COMMUNITY.NAME
com2sec mynetwork0 YOUR.NETWORK/24 YOUR.COMMUNITY.NAME
com2sec mynetwork1 YOUR.NETWORK/24 YOUR.COMMUNITY.NAME
com2sec mynetwork2 YOUR.NETWORK/24 YOUR.COMMUNITY.NAME
com2sec mynetwork3 YOUR.NETWORK/24 YOUR.COMMUNITY.NAME
group MyROGroup any local
group MyROGroup any mynetwork0
group MyROGroup any mynetwork1
group MyROGroup any mynetwork2
group MyROGroup any mynetwork3
view all included .1
access MyROGroup “” any noauth 0 all none none

Restart the services:

shell#> service asterisk restart
shell#> service snmpd restart
