====== Asterisk SNMP Monitoring ======

Asterisk includes the res_snmp.so module designed to provide monitoring information via SNMP.  Particularly useful when used together with Zabbix remote monitoring.

!!Note: AstLinux 1.1.2 or later is required!!


===== System SNMP Configuration =====

Example: ''/mnt/kd/snmp/snmpd.conf''

  com2sec notConfigUser default public
  
  group notConfigGroup v1  notConfigUser
  group notConfigGroup v2c notConfigUser
  
  view all included .1
  view system included .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system
  
  access notConfigGroup "" any noauth exact all none none
  
  syslocation Omaha, NE
  syscontact AstLinux - www.astlinux-project.org
  
  agentaddress udp:127.0.0.1:161
  
  master agentx
  agentXSocket /var/agentx/master
  agentXPerms 0660 0550
  
  sysObjectID .1.3.6.1.4.1.22736.1


Edit ''syslocation'' and ''syscontact'' for your location.

Apply ''snmpd.conf'' changes, restart snmpd service using CLI:

  service snmpd stop
  service snmpd init

With the system ''snmpd.conf'' changes applied, you should see useful information with the following commands.

Example snmp commands using CLI:

  # Linux uname -a
  snmpget -OQv -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0
  
  # System uptime
  snmpget -OQv -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0
  
  # List network interfaces
  snmpwalk -OQv -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 IF-MIB::ifDescr




===== Asterisk SNMP Configuration =====

Enable SNMP in Asterisk by editing ''/etc/asterisk/res_snmp.conf'' in the ''[general]'' section:

  ;
  ; Configuration file for res_snmp
  ;---------------------------------
  ;
  ; -- snip --
  
  [general]
  ; We run as a subagent per default -- to run as a full agent
  ; we must run as root (to be able to bind to port 161)
  subagent = yes
  ; SNMP must be explicitly enabled to be active
  enabled = yes

Apply the ''res_snmp.conf'' change in Asterisk, unload and load the ''res_snmp.so'' module, or restart the asterisk service.

With both the system ''snmpd.conf'' and Asterisk ''res_snmp.conf'' changes applied, you should see useful information with the following commands.

Example snmp commands using CLI:

  # Walk Asterisk SNMP tree
  snmpwalk -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 ASTERISK-MIB::asterisk
  
  # Asterisk Version
  snmpget -OQv -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 ASTERISK-MIB::astVersionString.0
  
  # Number of active channels
  snmpget -OQv -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 ASTERISK-MIB::astNumChannels.0
  
  # List active channels
  snmpwalk -OQv -v2c -c public 127.0.0.1 ASTERISK-MIB::astChanName
