We use Cacti, Net-SNMP, and several Perl scripts to monitor our OpenBSD firewalls. https://noc.ece.uprm.edu/cacti/graph_view.php?action=treetree_id=2hide=0branch_id=734 Pablo I have written an IP accounting system using pf labels. It runs every 5 minutes and extracts stats for data entering and leaving my lan. It works nicely but I want to go to the next level and graph this data at each interval. It is a shell script that produces files that contain a single integer to represent bytes for individual tcp/udp ports as well as totals per lan IP address. Without the risk of reinventing the wheel, what would be the best way to graph this stuff? I have heard of Perl with GD::Graph but are there other ways?

Thanks in advance for comments and guidance in this matter. That looks good. But firstly it doesn't show byte transfers, secondly the data is rrd type (not persistent), and thirdly I don't want such a complex setup using rrdtool, cacti, snmp, and webserver. Right now all I have is a shell script and it is doing almost all I need. I am leaning towards a perl script (GD::Graph) to graph the data I already have. __ Find your next car at http://autos.yahoo.ca

Peter: You could use gnuplot. For sure it can be easily included within your shell scripts.

I've used one of the GDchart extensions to ruby for some histogram plot of network link utilization.

I have one of my own which is named pf2mrtg you can check it out in www.securelabs.org/scripts.html which is based on mrtg and pf labels.Thanks in advance :-)
