7 personally, i prefer munin for this kind of job. i started out on cacti,
8 which i favoured because it uses snmp, but when trying to get it to graph
9 more than just the basic stuff its complexity just was too much.
10 they do have a ton of plugins out there - but many of them seem to be
11 really hackish and difficult to get to work

13 with munin you can be up and running within minutes (on gentoo and debian
14 at least) and get so much more info out... and they too have a growing
15 number of plugins available.

17 kind regards
