asterisk users - Dec 2009 - Easy way to see what dahdi channels are being used

Hi,

 

I have just recently been using DAHDI, and I wanted to know how to monitor
capacity.

 

Let's say I have two DS1 (23 channels) coming in, one for Florida (let's
say) and one for New York.  How can I get a reading of how many channels of
each T1 port is being used at any given moment?  Ideally, have two values,
one for each T1.

 

dahdi show channels doesn't show outgoing calls.  Is there another command I
am not aware of?

 

Mike

Core show channels shows all calls.  you will get two entries for most
calls, 1 for the dahdi channel and one for the sip phone using it.

Thanks Tim and Danny.  It seems a more direct way should be there, but that`ll
work.

	A more direct way would be to use SNMP in Asterisk and keep statistics
with Cacti.  That way you will have an historical view of usage by hour,
day, week and year.  Even if you do not use cacti to create graphs you
can still do an snmpwalk to query how many lines of what type are in use
at any moment.

That`s my plan exactly, but for that I need some value to poll, and I was
looking for the most efficient way to know that 12 out of 23 channels are being
used.

Seems that I need to massage the data more than I wanted, instead of using a
"dahdi show port 3" command.  That`s what I meant by it being
"indirect".
