External monitoring of system availability
There are several system services that are critical to sipXecs operating properly. These services should be monitored from an external monitoring solution that can provide up/down notifications and paging for support staff. There are several solutions available on the market to support this type of service, Zenoss (open source) and What's Up Gold being two of the more popular.
Services running on PBX server:
sipxsupervisor
sipxrls
sipxpresence
sipxpark
sipxconfig-agen
sipstatus
sipregistrar
sipXvxml
sipXproxy
ruby
sipxacd *— only if ACD is enabled on server
freeswitch *— only if conferencing is enabled on server
The following services may be provided by other network servers or by the PBX but are critical to proper operation of the system and should thus be monitored:
NTP
DNS
