RE: (ASCEND) Monitoring Peak Capacity?

We too use a PERL script which uses the below MIB OID and we run it once a
day.  It simply does a 'get' for the MIB OID and then resets the value to
'0' with a 'set'.  We also save it to a file so we can generate a graph with
html pages.

		Please note that wanLineActiveChannels indicates number of
channels at
		polling time. That is, you may miss to detect real "peak"
value between
		polling interval.

		There is another Mib which keeps real peak channel usage in
call.mib.

		  callStatusHighWaterMark OBJECT-TYPE
		      SYNTAX          INTEGER
		      ACCESS          read-write
		      STATUS          mandatory
		      DESCRIPTION     "The highest number of channels ever
used on the
		                       wide area network since power up.
Nailed channels,
		                       if any, are also included in this
count. Its value can
		                       be set to zero with a SET command."
		      ::= { callStatusGroup 3 }

		I'm reading and resetting this counter every five minutes
and drawing
		channel activity graph with MRTG.
