[cisco-voip] CDR Monitoring tool

[Ed Leatherman]

Take a look at the IPSLA feature set, if you have equipment that can run the
required IOS it can do quite a bit in the monitoring portion when paired
with some decent network management tools that you might already have.

www.cisco.com/ipsla

I'm using it for various synthetic tests on our LAN and WAN links for such
things as call quality and latency between CUCM subscribers. test results
are pollable via SNMP and you can graph them with MRTG or cacti if you
happen to use those.
I'm not doing any alerting with it currently but I know it can be configured
to send SNMP traps if a threshold is exceeded.
