rrdtool

Hi guys,

Does anybody have some configuration files (scripts) for rrdtool? I would
like some scripts that would monitor:

CPU usage,
Memory usage,
SWAP usage,
Disk drive usage,
Network (the incoming traffic) usage,
Network (the outgoing traffic) usage,
number of currently logged users,
number of active processes,
weather (temperature) in a particular city,
etc.

I have written some simple scripts for MRTG. However, they do not look as
fancy as in RRDTOOL (which is is kinda new for me). Thus, if you have and
are willing to share some of your config files, I will be very happy.

Thanks

Why don't you try Cacti, it's a web frontend for rrdtool
that has scripts to do some of those things, and you can
add your own scripts, or borrow some from Nagios.

Regards.

Available via snmp, you need to configure net-snmp if you haven't
already.

Shouldn't be that difficult, perhaps using wget's output piped to
awk/perl ripping out the values you want.

One can use mrtg config-files with "Logformat: rrdtool" or so, try
a google search there are numerous examples online, www.mrtg.org
has IIRC some docs on converting mrtg.cfg files to rrdtool.

Thanks! I will try it today (I did not know Cacti).
