[cisco-voip] utilization reports on a T1 PRI connection

Tue Nov 11 02:27:01 EST 2008

I use Clarus..they just added quite a bit in the this area so it's working
out. I've tried OpsMgr and found it less than useless.  Did an eval on
Prognosis but it was too complicated and crashed a few times too many.
Clarus is priced per phone as well.

I generated a user import file from the BAT excel template thing, and it
worked with that.

After adding/removing fields in my file trying various things, I instead
renamed the column headers using all caps since that was now the only
difference now between my custom file and the generated one.. and it worked.
So I went back and removed the extra fields I didnt need and just left what
I started with (except in caps), and it worked. I move the capitalized
headers in the users over to my phones/users import file and that worked
also (despite having mixed case in the device field headers). So I think one
of those headers in the user section needs to be capitalized for some
unknown reason.

Anyway.. i got it working. just a little puzzled, but that isn't anything
new :)

Couple of us on the list have been working with cacti to pull various data
from call manager, if that is the sort of thing you're looking for. I know
Sean Walberg had a template/script put together for it to graph stats on
H.323 gateways. I just started looking through his work to puzzle it out for
MGCP gateways as well.. i'm very much a novice at XML so it's taking me
awhile :)

If you search the list for cacti you should be able to find the thread where
we were discussing it. Not sure if there are MIBs available to poll for for
T1 channel usage, but if there are, cacti would be a good tool for that
also.

If you're not afraid of digging then Prognosis is great.  We basically 
use it to handle our data capture and real-time monitoring and have 
developed our own tools to take the historical data from Prognosis and 
analyze/chart accordingly.

Yes, it is priced per handset.  There is an uplift if you want their 
reporting product with extends the basic reporting capabilities of the 
core product.  As I said, we use the core app for data collection and 
our own reporting/BI platform for parsing, but whatever works for you...

Cacti does work pretty well.

I need to change the colors.
