Setup Skyetel Endpoint Health on FreePBX 15

[JaredBusch]

I have been meaning to get this wrote up for a while now, but while I was setting up a new client I remembered.

Skyetel has an awesome feature to enable you to get alerts on your PBX going offline to their network.

Setting it up is as simply as a few clicks.

The Skyetel knowledge base article on the subject is pretty solid, but generic, as it should be.

From your Skyetel Dasboard:

1. Click on Endpoints

2. Click on Endpoint Health

3. Click to turn on the toggle under Uptime Alerts.

4. Click on View more under Details.
   

5. On the detail page, click on the empty circles next to "Network QOS" and "SNMP Metrics" to enable them.
   

6. Now you need to sign in to your FreePBX system via SSH to install the snmp packages

7. As always, let us assume you are not using root

sudo yum install -y net-snmp net-snmp-utils

7. Backup the default snmp config

sudo mv /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf.bak

8. Create a new config file

sudo tee -a /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf > /dev/null << EOF
rocommunity public
EOF

9. Enable and start the snmp service

sudo systemctl enable --now snmpd

10. Sign in to the FreePBX web interface

11. Click on Connectivity -> Firewall
    

12. Click on the Hamburger menu on the top right
    

13. Click on Advanced
    

14. Click on the Advanced Settings tab.
    

15. Under Custom Firewall RulesChange to Enabled
    

16. Click on the Advanced Custom Rules tab
    

17. In the IPv4 section add this string
    -I INPUT -p udp --dport 161 -s 52.14.37.123 -m comment --comment "Skyetel SNMP" -j ACCEPT
    

18. Click Save and Apply.
    

19.You will see a confirmation at the top of the screen, click yes.

20. You will see a notice that it was applied successfully.
    

That's it. In a few minutes the Skyetel dashboard will begin to populate.
