Normally, when I know that I will touch a certain technology in advance, I sign up for the relevant mailing list and see how other people are doing and what are the most common "gotcha's" are. Unfortunately this was more of a last minute thing so I had to ask you do a lot of my trouble-shooting for me. I use RRDTool to monitor my bandwidth usage, hdd temperature etc at home. But the difference here is that I am processing data from pcap files and not looking at the RX/TX values. This time I am also looking on a per-protocol (as in FTP, HTTP etc) usage instead of raw transmit/receive numbers. My reason for using RRDTool instead of MRTG (at home) is that I don't need a SNMP daemon running on my computer.. Less (software installed/running) is more (secure, easier to update).
