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

[Wes Sisk]

CAR natively will start generating reports for trunks:
CSCtd77306    Generate trunk utilization report.
CSCsk87140    CAR should include trunks in utilization reports

however, that does not mean the data is missing from the CDR database, 
it only means CAR does not generate reports for it.  The records are in 
fact in the database and available for query.  This will show trunk 
utilization post-factum.

For real time trunk utilization you can use the AXL serviceability API 
to query the RTMT performance monitor counters.
