Check starface-account-stats

Overview

This check plugin returns the account statistics of the Starface PBX.

It uses the data output of the Starface Monitoring Module, which was originally written for Check_MK and listens on port 6556. Supports both IPv4 and IPv6. Fetched data is cached up to one minute, so that other Starface plugins running in parallel do not query the data again and overload the PBX.

Special features of this check:

  • Connects directly via Socket.
  • IPv4 (default), IPv6 capable.
  • Fetched data is cached up to one minute and shared between other monitoring plugins dealing with Starface PBX, so that those checks running in parallel do not query the data again and overload the PBX.
