I finally have time to get RRD and MRTG running to monitor my equipment. Here's the deal.
I have used MRTG before on a couple of devices, but never intergrated with RRD and CGI's. I have about 120 Cisco switches, 80 APC UPS's and 170 printers(mostly HP, I don't care about the others). These numbers are approximate, but close enough for gov't work. I want to start monitoring there traffic, tempterature, battery status, etc..etc...

Have I got that right? If anybody has a brief tutorial, that would be appreciated. I have seen a lot of 14all.cgi talk, is that the best for this kind of thing? Will it handle what I need it to do? This will all be tested on a separate machine before going into production.
