Cacti

Cacti is a complete frontend to RRDTool. It stores all of the necessary information to create graphs and populate them with data in a MySQL database. The frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with being able to maintain graphs, data sources, and round robin archives in a database, Cacti also handles the data gathering. There is SNMP support for those used to creating traffic graphs with MRTG.

Cacti Rocks
In less than an hour from downloading the cacti tarball, I had working, usable graphs. Very slick web-based control interface for adding devices, graphs, graph trees (groups of devices), and users. You can add users and only let them look at the devices/graphs you want them to see.

very, very good
Hi Ian,
you make a very, very good job.
Thx a lot for that.
Cacti, together with Nagios, might become a Tivoli-Killer, someday.
I would be proud of becoming a core developer.
I use cacti beta in a bank environment -
even knowing there a lots of bugs.
It's worth the risk.
My target is to monitor 60.000 PCs.
But i urgently want you to set up a CVS Server.
If you want me to, i will do that.

Wonderful, but complex.
There's a lot of promise here, but I think it's in need of some simplification.... I've been beating my head for two days trying to get it to track disk usage, but all I get are blank graphs.

A nice feature for future development would be a standardized "module" format, that when installed, would automatically load the data source definition into the database, and create the graph parameters.

Anyhow, great work so far... Cacti will obviously be worth keeping an eye on.

Easier to install/run than Cricket.
Worked with cricket for a month, couldn't get it running. Nothing in the archives or the mail list helped. Tried cacti, had it running in 4 hours. It looks great.
