Better idea: have a process on each box generate the data you want in a format you can parse easily, then have a collector fetch it from some high-numbered port you can secure with ACLs, router rules, etc. You can either code up a little server process with perl or python to listen on that port or simplest of all, just have the service (in [x]inetd.conf) cat the file upon request.Hey all, after a bit of thinking and some looking thru email archives I'm still stumped on a way to get CPU, memory, disk I/O, disk use etc.... info from one machine to another without using SNMP. All these boxes are FreeBSD 4.7 Release.I'm sure I could rig a script to ssh into the boxes and do a df -h etc. and write the info to a file but my gut tells me there is a MUCH better solution that someone with far better programming skills has already come up with and stuck in the ports collection.
