I've been experimenting a quite a bit with MRTG and RRDtool, and have come up with a few "questions(?)"
First off, we REALLY like the MRTG graphs, and would like to maintain that structure - daily, weekly,... In addition we snarf the daily graphs and structure a week of day graphs so that we have a bit more detail for the past week. But not all of our data is snmp'd. We collect a lot of data for capacity planning, and currently just archive it. This data is host based (sar, vmstat, uptime etc). Occasionally we need to query this data to help solve system/network problems. It is trivial to make a .rrd file from this data. So.... What I would really like is a back-end to .rrd files to create MRTG like graphs. And, I don't want to re-invent a new tool if such a tool exists. But...from what I've seen there are lots of front-ends but little in the way of back-ends. I do not want a .cgi to do it , just cron the graphs as we do with MRTG now. Since we won't be using MRTG to generate all (if any) of the rrd's, I won't have a mrtg.cfg available. To summarize: Take the .rrd file and have produce a series of MRTG-like graphs and .html files. Is there something out there I have missed? Any comments/criticisms would be more than welcome. ./You ... take care Bob -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Help mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/rrd-users WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
