[OT] rrdtool examples

2004-12-21 Thread Jorn Argelo
Hi all,

I've been playing around with rrdtool for quite a while, but I still don't 
really get it. I've been trying to find some example scripts for rrdtool, but 
I really can't find much of them. I have found Erik de Mare's perl scripts 
already. However, the author does not reply to his mail, and only a few of 
his scripts work. Unfortunately I don't have any perl knowledge, so I cannot 
fix them myself.

So my question is, do you guys know where I can find some other RRDtool 
example scripts? Preferably something involving with CPU load, apache stats 
and MySQL stats. All examples are welcome though :)

Thanks alot,

Jorn.

Have a look at rrdtutorial (in a man/ directory near you), its' fairly 
well written.

I knocked together some simple scripts to monitor some appservers 
(disk,cpu,process
count etc) but they get unwieldy very quickly - just a few boxes and it started
to get out of hand.

If you're going to be doing any gathering/graphing for this kind of thing, have
a look at cricket (ports/net-mgmt/cricket) - it makes using RRD a breeze
(though I would still read the tutorial at least, it does help to have a rough
understanding of the backend).

Favours SNMP, but you can use any script you like easily enough
(I have a ruby-ldap based version that pulls stats directly from
openldap, and it took an hour to get it graphing).

Hello Jorn,

You may want to look into Cacti /usr/ports/net/cacti www.cacti.net ,
which is a frontend to rrdtool...

It has all what you need:
