Asterik IP-PBX Statistics (SIP/IAX2 protocols)

itconnection · Post by **itconnection** » Wed Sep 19, 2007 5:43 am

Dear colleagues,

We at ITConnection.ru are happy to post this Cacti script for Asterisk IP-PBX statistics. It's based on Python, works over AMI connection and provides cute and comprehensive graphs like this:

We are open for any change requests or follow-up discussions, please give us feedback by replying to this post!

Have a nice time with Asterisk, the world's most advanced open-source telephony platform!

Cheers!

Hi,

We wrote it for 1.4.x, though it's an AMI app, thus it will work with 1.2.x also.

Next to come: ZAP channels, queues, transcoder
Very soon to come: SNMP-based version

I took a quick look at the files, and will maybe play a little more tomorrow. I've not had much to do with the manager side of A*k yet, so am I right in thinking I need an entry in manager.conf for this to work?

I'd like to hear more about the SNMP work too..

Updated version with ZAP channels:

Do you have a host template?
I've imported the .xml files, updated manager.xml, updated iaxpeers with an entry from my iax.conf file, updated asx-stats.conf and copied the .py files over.

Next step is the data source and graphs, but I'm not sure what to put.

ok.. figured out the data and graph details..

but thought I'd give it a while manually..

I get:

root@ubiq-serv6 scripts]# ./asx-stats.py localhost 0
name 'localhost' is not defined

from:

[root@ubiq-serv6 scripts]# cat /etc/asx-stats.conf
# host 0
# host name
hosts.0.hostname = localhost
# AMI port
hosts.0.port = 5035
# username for AMI
hosts.0.username = cacti
# password for AMI
hosts.0.password = somepassword

Ah... ok I get it.. made some more progress...
Now I can get:

[root@ubiq-serv6 scripts]# ./asx-stats.py 0
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted

but it just sits there...
and if I try:

[root@ubiq-serv6 scripts]# ./asx-stats.py 0 iax.peers.ubigradin.status

again it just stops... no output..

Try to use new updated version. Edit the file asx-stats.py: set the line "verbose = 0" to "verbose = 1" and post the output here.

I have exactly the same symptoms as above - it authenticates and then does nothing. With verbose=1, rhe response for me is as follows:-

Code: Select all

srv scripts # ./asx-stats.py 0
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted

Response: Error
Message: Permission denied

Looks like you don't have permission to run commands via AMI. Check your AMI configuration.

That was pretty much the first thing I did.

Code: Select all

[monitor]
secret = xxxxxxxxx
deny=
permit=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.255
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user
write =

The user used for monitoring has all available read permissions assigned to it. The fact that the asx-stats script successfully authenticates means it can't be a problem with the username, password or subnet configuration.

Try to use this script, it can show a query.

adrianmarsh · Post by **adrianmarsh** » Tue Sep 25, 2007 8:12 am

Odd.. I'd already posted a reply to the forum.. all I had to do to make it worked was change the permissions to

read=command
write=command

I think maybe its the WRITE part thats needed.

This version of the script did indeed indicate that it was hanging after being getting an error in issuing a command.

Code: Select all

srv scripts # ./asx-stats.py 0
action: login
username: queuemonitor
secret: queuemon
events: off


Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted
Asterisk Call Manager/1.0
Response: Success
Message: Authentication accepted

action: command
command: iax2 show peer iax2.fwd.net


Response: Error
Message: Permission denied

I'd suggest including the required AMI user configuration as part of the README file, but it also looks like some error checking may be required.

However, now that that's all said and done, thanks greatly for this! It's looking good.
