I have some basic SNMP monitoring of my Dachstein machines working using the old SNMP package and MRTG. With these I keep a constant graph of the activities of eth0, eth1 and ipsec0 on both ends of my test VPN tunnel. I converted to net-snmp and everything is still working (thanks people for standards). My next task is to add monitoring of the memory, CPU, and RAM disks. The result would be a single web page which provides a continuous graph of the health of the LEAF boxes. You can see at a glance where something may be going wrong. Since MRTG also does such a nice job of keeping a running summary of the data on a daily, weekly, monthly and yearly basis. You can also use the data to predict when you may need to make changes on a system.
Others have setup MRTG to do this kind of thing on their Linux servers. I was wondering if anyone here have already done something similar and have some MRTG scripts that work with the net-snmp mibs that they can share, or maybe just some pointers. When I'm done I'll give what I have to Charles. He needs some more packages to fill up that Dachstein CD. ;-) Roger _______________________________________________ Leaf-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-user
