Channel Utilization

[urmi.l]

Hello,

CentOS 5.6 : Asterisk:- 1.4.39.1-vici VERSION: 2.4-309a BUILD: 110430-1642 And we have domestic center calling using PRI lines.

I have many PRI lines. And there are many in coming call coming on these various PRI lines. I have few PRI lines for backup.

Now, I want to know how can I get my daily PRI line utilization ? How many channels utilized ? Or if any specific channels utilized and some are not utilized then I want to remove my PRI lines.

I tried checking the PRI channel usage from below query. I m not sure will it give proper PRI channel utilization or not ?

SELECT DISTINCT `channel` FROM `call_log` WHERE `start_time` LIKE '2015-04-08%' AND channel LIKE 'DAHDI%';

Can we use below any where ?

"SELECT * FROM `live_channels` ORDER BY `live_channels`.`channel`

Please guide me.

The simplest solution is to ask your provider, they keep records of all that for billing purpose.

If this is only about determining your capacity needs, then have a look under Admin --> reports --> Maximum system stats, and that will give you your most concurrent calls over 30 days for inbound and outbound, add those, throw in an extra 10-20% to be safe and you should have a good idea of how many PRI channels you need.
