Re: Re: (clug-talk) Information Gathering

[Johnny Stork]

As a "stats-man", collecting and monitoring historical/real-time data from anything, is something I actually do for fun, therfore I have been trying out dozens of tools/methods and so far, for easy of use and access/control, I have been using the sysstats module addon for Webmin, Nagios (previosly Netsaint), Ntop and have played with JFFNM (Just For Fun Network Management) and a number of others. I have found that Bigbrother didnt seem to add much more functionality beyond Nagios. If it is analysis of the historical or real-time data you want, then certainly anything that dumps to a db should suffice. If you come across anything else real wiz-bang, let me know also.
