I have to separate the collection of the network data from the presentation onto two systems. mrtg is collecting data into rrd, the frontend needs access to the data.
I wonder which way would be best to replicate the data from the collector system to the presentation system. The configuration files are rsync'ed. I considered rsync'ing the data from the collector to the presenter as well, but how much unchanged data would be transfered? I guess a lot. My current idea is a patch at the RRD calls in mrtg which writes the arguments of the RRDs::update statements to a file. This file is then copied onto the presenter and there a simple perl script reads the file and executes the RRD:update commands to keep the slave copy in sync. Regular transfers of the complete rrd file (one a day) would ensure the copies stay in sync. What do you think about this? Will this work or did I miss any potential problems or is there an easier solution?
