[Asterisk-Users] monitor peak channel use

[Rod Bacon]

I use Nagios to monitor everything on my network, including * channel usage.

Google for the nagios check_asterisk plugin as a starting point.

It's a simple perl script that could be run without nagios if desired (eg, from 
a cron job). It can connect to a server via the management interface, check 
channel usage and perform an action based on usage figures.

We also have another script that does a similar thing, but connects and stays 
connected. It polls the server(s) every X seconds, and writes the usage into a 
MySQL database, so we have a live list of channel usage across all our servers.

It also writes RRDs...
