Title: Cacti and Cisco voIP
Post by: Bloody Jack Kidd on July 09, 2010, 01:05:03 PM
Anyone using Cacti to graph VoIP stats?  Specifically, I'm hitting a 2851 MCGP looking for active call stats.  Problem is, the 2851 does not provide OIDs for that data, so I've had to resort to a perl script.

Now I have the script returning useful data, but I'm as of yet, unsuccessful in getting that data to graph.

Cacti forums have been some help, but still not quite there.

I should mention, I got this working like a charm.  The method involves using a perl script and the perl module Net::Telnet::Cisco - to login to the router and execute

show voice call status | include active

then strip the first word of the response and return that value to Cacti.  There is also some Cacti config necessary to graph that value, but in the end it gives me exactly what I want.

I'm a poor white boy.  I can't afford Cisco VoIP.
