 How to find suitable Metric Family for Cisco ASR Subscriber Sessions?

Network colleagues want metrics from Cisco ASR PE routers to validate normal service has resumed after planned change.

Doesn't look as though CISCO-SUBSCRIBER-SESSION-MIB has been certified, and the MFs covering Subscriber don't seem a good match.  Similar usage (for same reason) with Fortigate firewalls matched the Firewall MF (only sessions of interest), while Cisco routers have Authenticated and UnAuthenticated session counters.  Happy to extend an MF if needed, but would prefer to check that I'm planning to use the most suitable MF.

Any thoughts about MF selection, please?
