Built on over 25 years of monitoring experience, the Nagios Core Services Platform provides insightful monitoring dashboards, time-saving monitoring wizards, and unmatched ease of use. Use it for free indefinitely.

Monitoring Made Magically Better

  • Nagios Core on Overdrive
  • Powerful Monitoring Dashboards

This plugin works with Nagios NRPE to check the status of a selected SIP/IAX peer on Asterisk or in alternative it can list all peers.

Then it Returns the Status (OK, Lagged, Unreachble or Unknown) with a proper Sig code (ok, warning, critical, unknown).

USAGE: Check_peer_status [options]

Options:
--version show program's version number and exit
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-u USER, --username=USER
username for AMI.
-s SECRET, --secret=SECRET
password for AMI.
-H HOSTNAME, --host=HOSTNAME
the host to connect to. The default is localhost.
-P PORT, --port=PORT the port to contact. Default is 5038.
-t TYPE, --type=TYPE sip or iax are allowed values.
-p PEER, --peer=PEER the peer name to check.
-a, --all print the whole output.
-v, --verbose print the whole output.

EXAMPLES:

to check an IAX peer:
$PATH/check_peer_status -H ip_asterisk -u username -s secret -t iax -p peername

to check an SIP peer:
$PATH/check_peer_status -H ip_asterisk -u username -s secret -t sip -p peername

to list all peers
$PATH/check_peer_status -H ip_asterisk -u username -s secret -t iax -a
$PATH/check_peer_status -H ip_asterisk -u username -s secret -t sip -a


CHANGELOG:
- 0.2.2 it can monitor the unknown status of the peers, generally when a peer is configured but never connected

It seems that by default the socket will not timeout if the PBX is unreachable or the Manager permissions are incorrect. Add something like this, before the line starting mysocket=. The number is in seconds:
socket.setdefaulttimeout(30)
...
mysocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)

Returning performance data would be nice as well but given the plugin is clearly written that is not too hard to add in yourself. Good stuff - thank you.
I dont know what to do at manager.conf to accept connections from the nrpe agent on the localhost.
Could you help me ?

You can try something like this:

[general]
enabled = yes
port = 5038
bindaddr = 0.0.0.0
webenabled = no

[username]
secret = password
deny=0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
permit=192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0 #the network address where the nagios server is
read = system,call,log,verbose,command,agent,user,originate

You have to configure your manager.conf to accept connections from the nrpe agent on the localhost
