Yesterday I saw this article, which lays out a recipe for basic Asterisk monitoring using Munin, in Matt Riddell’s daily Asterisk news. OpenNMS has included out-of-the-box support for Asterisk management for some time now, but the functionality is often hidden for reasons I’ll get to in a moment. This article provides a set of steps for switching it on.
You’ll need to be running Asterisk 1.4 or 1.6 (more statistics are available via SNMP in 1.6) and OpenNMS 1.6.8 or later (earlier versions have an SNMP data collection bug; there’s a workaround, but it’s better just to upgrade).
