Although I do not use Nagios I would suggest the following tests: - send OPTIONS to your SER proxy (optionally use the SER options module to answer the requests correctly): -s sip:proxy.address - register with your proxy, in case with authentication: -U -s sip:username@proxy.address -a password - register and invite yourself: -UI -s sip:username@proxy.address -a password

If you combine all these tests you should have covered a fair amount of the functionality of your proxy. In any case you should use a separate username for the last two tests.

If you send OPTIONS to any registered UA, the test includes the erroneous UA component (from your proxy to the UA). So I would not recommend that, except if you combine it with one of the tests above.

Can anyone help with some meaningful checks of SER using sipsak and Nagios? My SER box is backended with RADIUS, and I can do a "spisak -s blah@server" and get a 200 for a registered UA, but I'd really like to know what other generic SIP tests people are performing using sipsak and Nagios together (perhaps a sample from your checkcommands.cfg?)

I understand that sipsak supports Nagios' return codes, which is cool, I just need to understand how to make best use of it. Documentaion is scarce, and extensive searching of the lists have proved largely fruitless.

Thanks in advance.
