Cricket's hardcore but pretty extensible. You have to have a good understanding of SNMP and rrdtool. http://cricket.sf.net is the only source of information that I am aware of. Note that general development ceased several years ago but there's not much that it lacks if you think of it as a framework. The user list is pretty inactive as well. If you do use it, the genRtrConfig and genDevConfig addons are extremely useful for adding in new devices. If I were doing it again, I'd give Cacti a serious look. When we adopted cricket, cacti didn't scale very well and it didn't appear to have obvious ways to script the creation of new devices which we could do simply with cricket. I don't know if those have changed but Cacti appears to be very polished. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
