I really like using rrdtool and mrtg, but, those are as user-friendly as |
| 20 |
cacti. Cacti is a pretty decent tool though, and, I used to use it |
| 21 |
before I switched to mrtg/rrdtool. One reason I use rrdtool in my setup |
| 22 |
is because I need custom graphs that cacti can't provide, but, I guess |
| 23 |
that in 95% of setups, custom graphs shouldn't be needed. And, I agree |
| 24 |
on making it SNMP-based. SNMP is a decent standard, and, its widely used |
| 25 |
by routers, servers, and, hell, I think my printer even has a SNMP |
| 26 |
server running on it. Thats just my opinion |
