Monitoring Kamailio and Asterisk with AWS CloudWatch

Today I’m announcing the release to my new project VOIP Statistics to AWS CloudWatch (voip-mon-aws-cloudwatch), it is a monitoring script for Kamailio and Asterisk for AWS CloudWatch written in PHP.

This works similarly to AWS CloudWatch Monitoring Script (Linux).

Requirements

• PHP 5.5 and above
• Composer
• Asterisk
• Kamailio

Installation

Git clone to any Linux instance with Kamailio or Asterisk installed

# git clone https://github.com/rpfilomeno/voip-mon-aws-cloudwatch.git

Go to the project’s root directory by

# cd voip-mon-aws-cloudwatch

Make the mon-put-instance-data.php executable

# sudo chmod +x mon-put-instance-data.php

Install Composer

# curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php

Install the dependencies by

# php composer.phar install

Create your AWS credentials file
