[cisco-voip] Needing to implement a monitoring solution in Afghanistan

[Joseph Quigley]

Group,

I just move into a engineering level position supporting Cisco Voice for
NATO forces in Afghanistan. On one of the networks, all traffic leaves the
CCM clusters via ICTs, and there are several clusters throughout the
country. As of now, there is no insight into the call volume over each ICT
and I am wondering if anyone has ever implemented a solution that will give
a collective overview of traffic between multiple clusters over ICTs.

As you can imagine, at some locations bandwidth is a premium - so that is
one constraint. Another may be the acceptance of 3rd party software, but
I'll cross that bridge - send any suggestions you may have.

The one thing that comes to mind is to aggregate performance monitor data of
the H323 objects referencing the ICTs into a SQL database at a set interval
- say 30secs, then somehow graph that live. It doesn't seem simple for my
skillset, and I don't want to reinvent the wheel - time is not on my side.

I appreciate your suggestions!
