Prometheus intergration

Prometheus is an open-source monitoring and alerting toolkit of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. By integrating it with Vodia PBX, you can effectively monitor and manage your phone system's performance. Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Create an API Account on Vodia PBX

Vodia PBX version 69 and higher

To allow Prometheus to access Vodia PBX data, you need to create an API administrator account

Log in to Vodia PBX as an Administrator:

Navigate to the system level where you can manage user accounts. Create a New User Account for API Access:

Go to Settings, Security, Administrators Create a new account with the following details: Account: Choose a user name. API Access: Enable API access. Type: Set the account type to Regular. Password: Set a strong, secret password. Save the Configuration:

Save the user account configuration. Keep the username and password handy, as you will need them for Prometheus to access Vodia PBX data.

Vodia Admin

Installing Prometheus on Digital Ocean 

Digital Ocean's marketplace has Prometheus available today, https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/prometheus

Once your server is set up, you can access the Prometheus user interface by going to: http://your_server_ip:9090/

However, you will need access to the file via SSH to configure the .yml file.

Setting up the .yml file 

By default, Prometheus is set up to monitor itself and Node Exporter. To monitor more systems, you need to update the configuration file located at: /etc/prometheus/prometheus.yml

Prometheus sample configuration

3 things need to be changed in the Prometheus .yml file config file 

*targets: ['123.vodia.com'] Here is where you will set the target PBX DNS name

*username: 'prometheus' 

 *password: 'prometheus'

*Note: Do not remove the ' ' and [ ] in the config file. leave it as is and change the value

Once you have edited the config file, restart the Prometheus

To restart the Prometheus service use sudo systemctl restart Prometheus

How to use Vodia API 

Here we have a list of APIs you can use with Prometheus

Vodia API   Check the Prometheus and click on System Stats, This will show all of the available APIs for Prometheus, and you will see an Example Response, click "view more" and it should show something like this 

Here are some stats examples you can use with Prometheus

system_cpu_srv_max

system_cpu_srv_avg

system_cpu_ctrl_max

system_cpu_ctrl_avg

system_memory_all

system_memory_tcp_syn

Creating a stat panel on Prometheus 

Click the add panel button and enter the Vodia API cmd, in this case, system_cpu_srv_max then press execute, you can create many panels to monitor the PBX, copy-paste, for example, ssystem_memory_tcp_syn

Here's another example using system_sip_tcp
