QUESTION Monitoring Asterisk with Zabbix

[Hyksos]

Hi,

I have installed zabbix directly on PIAF, I know it's not really how it would be in a real zabbix setup but I didn't want to expose zabbix externally and whitelist just yet, it's a proof of concept. It's a self-monitoring PBX for now.

With that said I was wondering if any of you is using Zabbix to monitor asterisk? If you do, would you be willing to share your userparameters from your agent config file? I found a couple of them in zabbix asterisk cookbook but maybe some of you have added your own? We could accumulate and share a list of checks people could pick and choose from.

For now I use active checks with userparameters in the agent, but if you have scripts that send stuff to zabbix or any other custom stuff, we could put it in common.

If nobody has messed with that yet, I will continue to search online and consolidate what I find.

So far I have taken from the zabbix forum:

Trying to build as many useful data points and triggers/alarms as I can.
