Hi, cacti is great for monitoring asterisk. You can do your own perl, php, etc... scripts to get the data and feed it to your cacti box. You can also have a look at res_snmp. You might have to install some additional snmp packages and then recompile asterisk for it to work.
In my experience it has also helped to tweak cacti to run the poller every 60
secs instead of the default 300. I mean sometimes your phone calls are less
than 1 min so the more frequently you run the poller the more accurate your
data / graphs.
