[cisco-voip] AXL (or SNMP) for realtime statistics

[Simon, Bill]

So I thought I read somewhere that I could use AXL to get real-time
CallManager statistics (# calls in progress, CTI port usage,
registered/unregistered phones...).  I'm using CCM 4.1(2) and looking at the
AXL schema for that version.  I can't find anything about real-time
statistics.  Is it available in this version of CM?  If so, has anyone used
AXL for real-time stats?

I'm wanting to get real-time data in a format other than the RTMT.  My plan
is to fetch and graph using RRDtool (Cricket).  I've been investigating two
different options:  AXL and SNMP.  SNMP is preferred but I don't believe the
CallManager MIBs have real-time statistical data (why not?).

I am thinking that these are obvious data that should be exported and I am
simply reading the wrong docs / looking in the wrong places.  Help?

PS: I have found that I can get reg/unreg phones but I'm much more
interested in call-in-progress data, VM ports in use, etc.
