QUESTION Monitoring and alerts

[atsak]

Does anyone have a script which monitors number of calls in progress or active channels etc and emails alerts? Now and then when someone is trying hard to get at one of my public facing systems they'll generate 60 or 70 active channels (way more than normal use) and it would be useful to get alerted so I can blacklist their IP. (Travelin' man etc aren't workable for this solution).

Appreciate any ideas, otherwise I'm going to get something written.

Somewhere in my memory banks I remember someone posting something here, or seeing it somewhere, that you could monitor various things in Asterisk with Nagios.

Nagios can do this without breaking a sweat.

Can you provide link for the Nagios plugin that will do this?

Here's a start - I have call status on my installation. You can grab a copy and modify as necessary - http://pbxinaflash.com/community/threads/real-time-active-call-list.14145/

This was an old thread but thanks for reminding me - I installed that and it worked nicely but I need something to monitor every 5 minutes and alert if there's more than 20 calls in progress . . . because it indicates a hack. I am not clever on the programming side so I can't figure out how to get it to if calls are greater than 5 then email admin . . .
