to capture peak utilization over time, like week/month/Year to date. Is this Gateway Utilization part of RTMT, or another tool?<o:p></o:p></p>

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

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:<br>
<br>
IPSLA's on GW routers<br>
CAR utility in Call Manager<br>
some custom MIB's for cacti( not used in our network, so not really an option)<br>
Expensive add-on to Solarwinds(used in our network, but the whole point was to study for cost reduction, so not an option either)<br>
<br>
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,<br>
<br>
Frank<br>
