Two things: 1. Is Cacti and the device the same box? If not, then you need to setup the Cacti box as a trap for the SNMP messages. You will need to set community strings, open firewall ports, etc etc. 2. Cacti can also use scripts to pull values (the example I saw pulls weather data and draws graphs of temperature, precipitation, etc). As long as the script produces values in a one-line key-value arrangement (see example scripts) you can graph it. Cacti takes awhile to learn but is worth it when you figure it out. -- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
