nagios-check_sip

nagios-check_sip is a handy plugin that checks if your SIP server or device is up and how fast it responds. It’s a great tool to keep things running smoothly!

Requirements for Installation

Make sure you have:

• A working Nagios install


• Perl 5 or above

Getting Started with nagios-check_sip

To set this up, you’ll want to copy the plugin file into your Nagios plugins directory. This is usually found at /usr/lib/nagios/plugins.

Next, you need to add check_sip into your checkcommands.cfg file. Here’s a quick example:

define command {

command_name    check_sip

command_line    $USER1$/check_sip -u $ARG1$ -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -w 5

}

You also need to modify your services.cfg file so it can use the new check command. Here’s how you can do that:

define service {

use                             generic-service

host_name                       bubblegum
