Is there a way to inquire of the T1 link status?

I mean having cron (as example) execute a program that asks if the T1
status is OK.YEL or RED?
then on RED I can send some alert?

Thanks

We use Nagios for network monitoring. We've got a check_pri script that should be fairly universal. It will return "critical" for any alarm. Feel free to use the script as you see fit. YMMV - may skin cats, etc (you know the disclaimer drill)...
#! /usr/bin/python

# Checks PRI status - returns similar to the following:
# PRI span 1/0: Provisioned, Up, Active / PRI span 2/0: Provisioned, Up, Active


import os, sys, socket

statusstring = ''

for file in os.popen('/usr/sbin/asterisk -rx "pri show spans"').readlines():
out = file[:-1]
if out.startswith('PRI'):
statusstring += ' / ' + out.strip()
if out.startswith('Unable to connect to remote asterisk'):
print "Unable to connect to Asterisk instance"
sys.exit(2)

print statusstring.strip()[2:]

if statusstring.strip()[2:].count("In Alarm") > 0:
sys.exit(2)

# Nagios Return Codes
# OK = 0
# Warning = 1
# Critical = 2
# Unknown = 3

sys.exit(0)

You can also cat /proc/zaptel/1 and parse the output of that.
This doesn't tell you if asterisk is happy though.
For that you could use the asterisk SNMP (sub)agent

My guess is that you don't have any spans set up, or Asterisk doesn't have zaptel support... Is chan_zap.so loaded?

When I execute the commands in my cli

pri show status
zap show status

I get errors for both commands.

I am running 1.4.19, with libpri 1.4.3, and zaptel 1.4.10.

how do I get these commands?
