The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool to monitor the traffic load on network-links. MRTG generates HTML pages containing GIF images which provide a LIVE visual representation of this traffic. Check http://www.ee.ethz.ch/stats/mrtg/ for an example. MRTG is based on Perl and C and works under UNIX and Windows NT. MRTG is being successfully used on many sites around the net. AND... Here's an addon for performance monitoring on linux/bsd/solaris. uses ssh for remote hosts. MRTG Solaris/Linux Performance Monitoring Extensions (PME v 1.0.2) These extension packages allow for much finer detail for performance monitoring, and they're easy to set up, configure and maintain. Plus, since you don't need to have an SNMP daemon running, your system is more secure. For Solaris you can monitor CPU and memory utilization, paging and swapping, the run queue, the number of blocked processes, the scan rate, as well as disk (partition) capacity, and disk performance. Linux monitors include CPU and memory utilization, swapping, the run queue, the number of blocked processes, and disk (partition) capacity. BSD monitors include CPU, memory, the run queue, the number of blocked processes, disk (partition) capacity, and some disk performance characteristics. --pete ********************************** Peter Morelli Chief Technical Officer pmorelli@soyouwanna.com (212) 584-9107 http://www.soyouwanna.com
