[cisco-voip] How can i track trunk usage?

[Lelio Fulgenzi]

I'm pretty sure it's percentage used. So, if it's 100% for one hour, that means that gateway was in use 100% of the time. If it's 50%, it was used only half of the time. 

What you're looking for is 100% used during your busy time. If you have two gateways and they're both high utilization at the same time (100%) then you need new trunks or you're getting busy signals.

Hmm, so the response I get is in % of calls. 



I thought it was giving me % of calls on a per month or per day basis, but if I add the totals it’s close to 200% so that’s wrong. 



I’m trying to do some trending to see if we need a new PRI or not. Our mark is if we fill the PRI at any point. Unfortunately the only way I’ve found so far is with RTMT running all the time, the graph shows the high point of channels active on the PRI. 



Any other ideas that might be easier than above?

In 4.1, I go to CDR/CAR pages, then Device Reports > Gateways > Utilization 

Then I select the gateways and select the time. 

I think there is a service parameter or gateway parameter that says whether you have 23 or 24 channels per trunk. An error there could skew the reports slightly I think. 

I think there is a max of 10 or so per report.

I’m trying to figure out our peak usage on some of our PRIs (MGCP, both ccm-to-pstn and ccm-to-pbx). Is there a way of using RTMT, CAR, or some other built-in (translation: free) service that can tell me what my max lines used at a given time are?
