Counting SIP calls in progress on Cisco CUBE

Hi,

I'm trying to create a graph of SIP calls in progress on a router with CUBE.

I've found that there is a list of Call ID's on 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.63.1.3.2.1.1 (http://tools.cisco.com/Support/SNMP/do/BrowseOID.do?objectInput=1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.63.1.3.2.1.1&translate=Translate)

The Call ID's listed in the returned list are 2 per call, 1 for the internal leg, and one for the outward to the SIP provider.

I've written a small shell script to get this value in MRTG / Cacti etc, however i'm not able to figure out how to do the same thing in Solarwinds.

#/bin/bash

router_count=`snmpwalk -c $2 -v2c $1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.63.1.3.2.1.1 |wc -l`

trunk_count=`echo "$router_count"/2 |bc`

echo $trunk_count

Script takes 2 parameters, the IP address of the router, and the SNMP community string. It gets a count of call ID's and devides by 2, giving trunks in use.

Is there any way to achieve the same thing? I have experimented with Transforms in the Universal device poller, however there appears to be no function to "Count" returned entries.

Any help appreciated

I finally had the need to get this working and have achieved it with the following:

You will require:

A shell script in /usr/local/scripts/ with the following contents:

#/bin/bash

router_count=`snmpwalk -c $2 -v2c $1 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.63.1.3.2.1.1 |wc -l`

trunk_count=`echo "$router_count"/2 |bc`

echo $trunk_count

A linux box, or other box with net-snmp, working with appropriate SNMP queryability (is that a word?)

in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

# the following line goes just under the other view systemview lines already in the file.

view systemview included .1.3.6.1.4

# The following lines go near the exec examples at the end of the box.

exec brisbane /bin/sh /usr/local/scripts/countcube.sh 10.1.0.1 public

exec darwin /bin/sh /usr/local/scripts/countcube.sh 10.2.0.1 public

exec london /bin/sh /usr/local/scripts/countcube.sh 10.3.0.1 public

After this is all set up, you should be able to add the following pollers on solar winds, pointing at the net-snmp box.

1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.1

1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.2

1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.8.1.101.3

where the last number is the number of the exec line above..

e.g.

brisbane = 1

darwin = 2

etc

This gives you a graph friendly count of sip trunks. The only issue i have seen is where a call is signalling but not established, the shell script can return .5 of a call (only 1 of the 2 call legs exists) I'm sure i can fix this with some kind of flag to the |bc in the shell script, something for the future.

I know it's not perfect as you still need a separate Linux box, but it gives the results I wanted.
