PRI Usage reporting ?
|
|
| TechGuy 2005-09-30, 5:45 pm |
| We have our two PRI's coming into a 3662, this is our gateway router for
CallManager, we utilize MGCP by the way. One PRI is local calls one is long
distance.
Is there an easy way to report on utilization of the PRI's? Just need to
see that we are not ever maxing the thing out. I know I can get telco to do
this for me, but its just not very convenient and timely. If I can run
something local and find that there are times when its maxed out then I
would probably get telco to run something so I can see just how much busys
and stuff are going on.
Any ideas or thoughts?

| We had a similar situation but we are using 6608 blades to terminate the
PRIs. The solution was to set up a performance monitor log on the subscriber
with 15 second intervals which looked at the cisco MGCP Gateway Performance
Object and then the two instances of PRI channels active as counters. This
was being logged to a CSV file and we started to notice spikes where all the
DS0s were in use on both PRIs. So it was necessary to add another PRI to
handle the calls.

| Well I just ran the following CDR report "Gateway Utilization - Hour of the
Day" and I am not sure about some things. Some times it shows utilization
was "100% of calls". I assume this is stating that this particular PRI had
times in which all 24 ports were being used? Obviously if this is the case
we have a problem. Being that this is based on a per hour it could imply
that at some point within that hour it was maxed out, could have been just
for a few seconds or for the whole hour.
Any ideas on this? Am I accurate in my assumptions ?

| We did the same thing......It would be nice to have a better explanation of the percentage, but for the most part it works for us.

| for now have to use ART/CAR reports or poll the gateway via SNMP. in the
future you will be able to use the new perfmon counter introduced by
CSCsa67949
in currently reelased CM's the only approximate you can get is monitor total
number of active calls on the MGCP gateway to see if both are full. The
above DDTS addresses the next level of granularity where the 2 trunks on
the gateway have different use.
