You *could* do it this way, but why? The only way I could see without doing some major hacking up of Cacti would be to write an input script for Cacti that pulls the current values from the database. Cacti would take those values and insert them into RRD files, and would then read the RRD files and display graphs based on those. So you're going to a lot of work just to get the data into an RRD file when there are handy plugins for Nagios that will take perfdata and RRD-ize them automatically. Then you can just point Cacti to those RRD's. Andrew ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
