I do it with a shell script run every minute on each server and then I 
store the count and the HOSTNAME in the database. (Now that my AMI skills 
are a bit better, I'd probably do it in PHP and AMI...)

Then I have a php script that creates a web page showing the maximum 
channels in use with a row for each host and a column for each hour of the 
day.

Thanks in advance,
