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...

Is there a way to trigger an action when a certain number of zap

channels that can be read?

I use PRI for inbound calls, but outbound goes out via SIP, so the
simple solution does not work.

I need to know when the potential exists for inbound calls via
PRI/Wildcard to be blocked because there are no more channels.

Obviously asterisk would never know, since the call is blocked at the
Telco, or is there still d-chan activity?

Anyone know of a way to do this?

Thx.
