Check out munin, http://munin-monitoring.org. You don't say which Linux distro you're using, but most of the distros have packages for this (named munin-node for client, munin for server). The advantage of this tool vs. cacti or the others is that it's self-configuring. By default a lot of charts are already in place for you, and the server doesn't need any configuration other than a list of nodes. Set up one machine with the server, set up munin-node client on all the others, then you get a web page on the server with links to piles of graphs for each client. Learning curve for this is much shorter than most, if you're just trying to solve a quick problem like this. -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
