Text2Speech for Asterisk
1. Install Asterisk and Festival on the Asterisk machine.
2. Copy/paste what is in extensions.conf.add to your
Asterisk extensions.conf (usually /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf)
3. Put the PHP script text2speech.php in your Asterisk
AGI binary directory (on my machine /usr/share/asterisk/agi-bin)
Another host can then execute the actions in channelcommand with
the proper variables by connecting through a clear text (try
telnet) to: asteriskhost:5038
pandora2ast.pl is a sample Perl script which can be called with
some options from Pandora FMS and will initiate a call through
the Asterisk Manager (over port 5038). Modify to your liking
You can put it in /usr/bin or anywhere you would like. Then go
to the Pandora Console and add an alert with the command
/usr/bin/pandora2ast.pl _agent_ _data_ _field1_ _field2_
In Pandora you can specify an alert to call this script with
the following options: _agent_ _data_ _field1_ _field2_ which
will in turn initiate a call to _field1_ (which should be a SIP
or other extension eg. SIP/6549 would call through SIP extension
6549 - see the Asterisk manuals how to dial stuff) and have a
caller id show up of _field2_. It will say as soon as the end
picks up in a computer voice: "This is a message from the Pandora
FMS monitoring system. Agent _agent_. _data_"
There could be a delay as Asterisk processes the voice data.
