Cacti
July 24, 2002 11:20 PM
If you are a networking guy and haven't heard of MRTG[traffic grapher] or RRDtool[a database backend], you should be sitting at home. These are tools used for monitoring traffic loads on network links. There's a good page on MRTG-RRDtool integration. Then there's Cacti which, using RRDtool, can graph almost any data including SNMP. Using Cacti one can do most of the configuration for RRD right from a web interface. Cacti also has 'graph hierarchies', round robin archives and admin management with delegation suitable for colocation situations. I am seriously considering using Cacti for my SNMP capable devices.

I have installed the rrdtool and cacti, but on the http://my-site/cacti, there are no graphs can be showed, and I looked my error_log on apache and found that "ERROR: opening '/var/tmp/cacti-0.8/rra/localhost_load_1min_5.rrd': No such file or directory"
why?
thanks
