That seems awkward: the majority of /var/cfengine/state/env_data data points are averages, and thus rrdool would average the averages. > I am hoping to get a student to make a web-based monitor using cfenvd > soon. Like http://noc.hep.wisc.edu/nrg/hosts/hep/load5/Mail-snmpd-load5.cgi ? I would love to dump Net-SNMP snmpd. It's configuration management (even automated with cfengine!) is rather ugly, and it don't work reliabily under heavy workloads (i.e. SNMP is UDP based.) But I can't because cfenvd isn't generally extensible. Perhaps cfengine v3's cfenvd could have a configuration mechanism for gathering additional data? steve - - - systems & network manager high energy physics university of wisconsin _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
