Can you tell me more ?
sipsak can be configured to respond with Nagios result codes. I think
the option is -n. Nagios has been setup to execute sipsak with an input
file that contains a specific notify message. This message has an event
type of "keep-alive". When my proxies see this event from our nagios
host they respond with a 200 ok. This is sufficient to "verify" that
the proxy is operational at a sip level or
so we like to believe :-)
BTW it should be fairly easy to extend this check to a REGISTER with
authentication. sipsak will return the same Nagios compliant return codes.
You could even think about trying an INVITE, allthough this might depend a
lot on your SER config if the self-INVITE's from sipsak will pass trough it.
Yep. Thanks for the follow-up.
