threshholds on mrtg are really a hack. It's not what mrtg is designed to do - it can do it, but poorly... Instead, I feed the mrtg information into Big Brother. Big Brother is good at paging/escalation/acknowledgements/etc, which mrtg isn't, but it's not great at polling 1000 hosts for snmp stats, which mrtg is. By combining the two tools I get the best of both. > I already use mrtg to create graphs for network cards.
