4.9 CCM_MGCPResources

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor active and in-service MGCP gateway resource usage for a Communications Manager:

  • BRI (basic rate interface) channels and spans

  • FXO (foreign exchange office) ports

  • FXS (foreign exchange station) ports

  • PRI (primary rate interface) channels and spans

  • T1CAS (channel associated signaling) channels and spans

An active resource is currently handling a call. An in-service resource is available to handle a call.

This script raises an event if any threshold is exceeded. In addition, this script generates data streams for active and in-service ports/channels/spans for any monitored resources.

This script is a member of the CiscoCM recommended Knowledge Script Group. For more information, see Section 4.57, Recommended Knowledge Script Group.
