because there is no need :)

what i'm doing is just make a script to call fs_cli -x command

e.g.

tculjaga at nemesis:~$ /usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli -x "status"
UP 0 years, 0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 8 seconds, 470 milliseconds, 62
microseconds
0 session(s) since startup
0 session(s) 0/30
1000 session(s) max


and bind it to an OID...


I'm even firing SIPP with to check end-to-end FS sanity.

yes...

it is just a script ... quite easy to setup...

prepare your script:

[tculjaga@ bin]$ cat activeChannels.sh
#!/bin/sh

CHANNELS=`/usr/local/freeswitch/bin/fs_cli -x "show channels count"
|/bin/grep total | /bin/awk {'print $1'}`
/bin/echo $CHANNELS
exit $CHANNELS
[tculjaga at l01sipindir2 bin]$
[tculjaga at l01sipindir2 bin]$
[tculjaga at l01sipindir2 bin]$ cat currentCallsPerSec.sh
#!/bin/sh



in snmpd.conf add this:

exec activeChannels /usr/local/bin/activeChannels.sh
exec checkCallFlowCPS /usr/local/bin/sipgen/sipgen.sh 1234 1 10
