asterisk users - Oct 2008 - Howto analyze concurrent ISDN channel usage

Hi,

Does anyone have a suggestion how I can analyze the concurrent usage of 
ISDN channels? A client complains about their clients sometimes getting 
a busy tone when trying to call them. I suspect they just need to add an 
additional ISDN2 line but I need some conclusive information that they 
are indeed maxing out their ISDN channels.

Thanks,
Patrick

hello,

you could use mrtg to get stats of the overall usage of the server. or
you run a script by your own.

something like this:

sudo asterisk -rx "show channels" | grep 'Dial(Zap' | wc

Hi,

It may not be that you are out of channels.  I've recently tried to setup my
ISDN line for use with asterisk and ran into a similar issue.  Some people could
call me and others couldn't.  My asterisk box was rejecting some calls with
an "Incompatible Destination" Cause code 88.  I found that some phone
lines/numbers just couldn't call my isdn line.  I still haven't figured
it out yet...
