Asterisk Phone System Monitoring

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...  :)

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 :)

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.

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,
