I was looking for more of a method to trend this over time. I have seen and started messing with RTMT, but all that seemed to be real-time, not so much trending, unless I have missed something. I am trying to capture peak utilization over time, like week/month/Year to date. Is this Gateway Utilization part of RTMT, or another tool?

the gateway utilization reports will give you a good idea on the percentage of utilization throughout the time period. for example, it will tell you for a given period whether that gateway is being used 100%. 

it's probably not what your looking for, but will give you an idea.

Hi All, 
First time poster and kind of a newbie on CUCM. One of my first tasks at my new position is to try to measure call volume on our gateways(MGCP/PRI) so my company can determine if they are being used efficiently. Currently, I can only calculate erlang capacity based on the amount of T1's that we have, but have not found a good way to measure if we are getting anywhere near that capacity. I am fine with trying to work it out myself for the learning part, but I would like to see if I am heading in the right direction at least. The few methods that I have heard to measure BHT are: 

IPSLA's on GW routers 
CAR utility in Call Manager 
some custom MIB's for cacti( not used in our network, so not really an option) 
Expensive add-on to Solarwinds(used in our network, but the whole point was to study for cost reduction, so not an option either) 

Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, 

Frank
