# Asterisk collector

Monitors [Asterisk](https://www.asterisk.org/) dialplan application's statistics.

## Requirements

- Asterisk [integrated with StatsD](https://www.asterisk.org/integrating-asterisk-with-statsd/).

## Configuration

Netdata ships
with [asterisk.conf](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/src/collectors/statsd.plugin/asterisk.conf) with
preconfigured charts.

To receive Asterisk metrics in Netdata, uncomment the following lines in the `/etc/asterisk/statsd.conf` file:

```ini
[general]
enabled = yes                   ; When set to yes, statsd support is enabled
server = 127.0.0.1              ; server[:port] of statsd server to use.
                                ; If not specified, the port is 8125
prefix = asterisk               ; Prefix to prepend to all metrics
```

> See [statsd.conf.sample](https://github.com/asterisk/asterisk/blob/master/configs/samples/statsd.conf.sample) for all available options.
