You might also want to check out the sysstats module for webmin. Easy to setup, decent graphs with rrdtool, cpu, files, irq, load, mailq, memory, network (but NTOP is GREAT for this), processes, users, disk, internet etc. If you want to check out what it looks like let me know and I can allow your ip to access webmin remotely and can create a temp account for you to view that module. > > > -----Original message----- > From: "Kevin Anderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: 10/25/2002(Fri) 01:09pm > Subject: (clug-talk) Speaking of monitoring software... > > Are there any good monitoring utilities that can provide a statistical graph over time. > > Something that would allow me to track things like CPU time per day over the course of a year.

I'd rather say, we've become more dependant on our technological systems. When we started out, 3 years ago, the servers average utilization was 14%, Free Memory was about 75%. Over that time, we've become much busier, and now our average utilization is 85% and Free Memory is 0%. > > I could use a cron job to dump the output from top periodically through the day, but I'd like to have gkrellm's charts spanning over a period of several months at a time. But... What can build the data which would be the basis of that chart? There must be files in /proc that show processor utilization? # of users? # of processes? Disk Free vs Disk Used per partition? Network Utilization?If I wrote them all to a database every minute or so, we'd have a very accurate chart after a while. We'd know what days were busy every month, etc. > > Any ideas? > Kev. > ________________________________________ Johnny Stork Calgary, AB Canada Open Solutions Open Source & Linux Solutions for Business http://www.open-solutions.ca http://www.opensourceinfo.net http://www.penguinportal.net Academic Computers http://www.academic-computers.com |
