traffic and system monitoring
Is Homer the best free option for traffic and systemmonitoring GUI? Or isCACTI better option? Robert
Hey Robert, I'm using check_mk / nagios for external monitoring and iftop and top / htop for on site analysis. Am 17.07.2017 um 17:20 schrieb robert mundkowsky:

Although HOMER is not bad for monitoring things like ACD/ASR GLOBALLY, it is not designed to be used as a monitoring tool. It is a tool to have the signaling handy for troubleshooting (it can also keep logs, RTCP, and other things), and for this, I don't know anything better that HOMER. HOMER is specifically designed to troubleshoot VoIP. I've never used CACTI, however, it doesn't look to be a SIP monitoring tool, but a network monitoring tool, able to monitor CPU, MEMORY, ETC... It won't monitor ACD, ASR, NER (Although i suppose you can write some plugins)... which HOMER does GLOBALLY... You could extend HOMER to monitor on a per-host level (I did a P/R just for this, but it hasn't been merged yet, as there's no GUI to show that data and I hate AngularJS) In conclusion, Maybe you should think about using both, as they seem to complement each other.

thanks, slides were very helpful. I likely saw your presentation last year, but was on information overload from all the presentations from ClueCON.

Are check_mk / nagios free? Looks like there is a SIP plugin. Is there a RTP plugin?

Hey Robert, sorry for my late reply. Your messages are flagged as spam here (Google Mail) Yes, check_mk and nagios are free and open source. It is more likely a system health monitor (is port 5060 reachable and what is the answer => active checks) And it's reading from standard unix tools (like ps, free - CPU usage => passive checks) It saves that data in a history (and builds fancy graphs) and sends me mails / SMS messages when some service is down. I've attached a screenshot from the webinterface. So check_mk can't monitor RTP traffic, but you can write your own checks in Python (at least the webview) Am 19.07.2017 um 20:01 schrieb robert mundkowsky:

We have implemented Nagios/Icinga and Check_MK with Freeswitch. Both do a good (passive) job, as Robert pointed out. However we also use ESL to check data from hangup events and you may also scan CDRs for RTP statistics. We usually store those relevant data into Memcache, which is then queried on demand by a Nagios/Icinga or Check_MK MRPE script. Best regards Peter On 07/22/17 02:36, Paul Zillmann wrote:
