Hi All. A very quick question, which I hope is fairly easy to answer. I have given up on the standard plugins (specifically SNMP), because I cannot access all the data I require via this method. Therefore, I need to write something myself.
As I see it, I have the following options: Perl plugin, Python plugin, or write my own daemon, and communicate to collectd via a Unix socket. If a large part of my decision making process involves keeping my consumption of cpu and memory resources to a minimum, which is the best path to go down? Thanks all, Phil - - - - Detailed info follows: I'm looking at making a complaint to my ADSL provider on the line quality here. Previous complaints relying on ping data haven't been enough. Therefore, I want to graph SNR margin, power, attenuation and error rate. This is not exported via SNMP, but I can telnet in and get this data in simple text format. Therefore, I want a process that does this, and then passes the relevant info to collectd. Perl is slightly preferred over python, as I have no coding experience in the latter. Doesn't stop me learning, though! (Draytek 2800G, if anyone is interested).
