IPDR was developed for just this use case.
In the basic DOCSIS IPDR implimentation (all CMTSs have to do IPDR to
pass cable labs, and your Cisco and Arris both do theses) the following
is the information that is tied together. All you have to do is set the
CMTS to export IPDR records and then setup a server to collect them.

CMTShostName Name of the CMTS CMTSipAddress IP Address of the
CMTS
CMTSsysUpTime SysUpTime taken from the CMTS
CMTScatvIfName CATV interface name from the Interfaces Group
CMTScatvIfIndex CATV interface index
CMTSupIfName Upstream interface name
CMTSupIfType Upstream interface type
CMTSdownIfName Downstream interface name
CMmacAddress The MAC address of the Cable Modem
CMdocsisMode The registration mode for this modem (1.0, 1.1
or 2.0)
CMipAddress The IP address of the Cable Modem
CMCPEipAddress List of IP address assigned to CPE's behind the
Cable Modem
Rectype Interim indicating that the Service Flow
is still running. Stop indicating that it has completed
RecCreationTime UTC time of record creation

GateID GateID for PacketCable initiated service
flows
serviceClassName Service Class Names applied to the service flow by
the CMTS if implemented
serviceDirection Upstream or Downstream
serviceOctetsPassed Current or final count of octets passed by this
service flow (usage counting)
servicePktsPassed Current or final count of packets passed by this
service flow
serviceSlaDropPkts Number of packets dropped by the CMTS when
enforcing a QoS SLA
serviceSlaDelayPkts Number of packets delayed by the CMTS when
