If it is taking 14all 25 secs to create 8 graphs (3 secs/graph), there is something wrong with how 14all is configured. On my server, a single-CPU Compaq 1.3 GHz, Win2K, Apache 1.3, it takes 14all about 2 seconds to create 20 graphs (0.1 secs/graph, or 30X faster than yours), even with Apache having to do NTLM authentication for every page element.
Are you running 14all under mod_perl? Do you have the most recent version? http://my14all.sf.net The issue might be the size of your config file. I've got ~200 individual device configs called by 14all from a hand-crafted web page (collapsing menus, etc.). For mrtg's data collection, these are spread across 12 or so cfg's with include statements. I can stop and start data collection on any individual device, without affecting 14all's ability to keep displaying historical information about that device. Try to think of the data collection and data presentation problems as two separate issues, which might require two separate sets of config files to solve. If you can reduce then duplication through links or includes, all the better. 14all is pretty flexible when it comes to controlling how the graphs look, if you don't like the defaults. You can even make them look very much like the mrtg/rateup defaults. This doesn't help your authentication/authorization problem, though. Some Apache guru will have to chime in, but you could probably do something relatively simple with virtual directories and mod_rewrite. Unfortunately, I haven't had much success with mrtg-rrd or routers2. I'm sure I could get them to work, but haven't had the time to dig into it in depth. Actually my long-term goal is to move all of this to cricket...

The explanation is getting quite long, I'll try to make it as clear as possible.. Currently I have - ONE big mrtg config-file with approx. 80 individual hosts and about 900 targets - using mrtg 2.9.25 with rrdtool - RH-Linux 7.1 on a Dual PIII 866, 256 MB - mostly using mrtg-rrd.cgi (0.5/0.6) for displaying graphs - Apache 1.3.27 with basic-authentication - each host has it's own "Directory" (by hostname) and most graphs are in subdirectorys underneath the hosts, which makes viewing/browse quick and clear; I'm quite happy this is all working fine so far ;) Now, I want wo give some customers access view "their" hosts' graphs, customers can be seperated easily by hostnames/diectorys (customer1=host2,host3,host6; customer2=host1,host7 etc.) and here I'm, stuck; I wonder what you guys are doing ? - 14all.cgi: is no option, I don't like the graphs it creates, it's very slow and eats up my CPU's (is it normal 14all.cgi takes 25 secs for 8 graphs on this box killing up almost both cpu's ??) - routers2.cgi: I haven't managed to configure it to display all my hosts as devices correctly without splitting up the config-file to one config-file for each host. I've set "routerdefault = hostname" and played around with most config-options, but still get only the first device from each cfg under devices and then all graphs together in a list (you could imagine how this looks like with 900 targets).. Is there any way to make it work without splitting-up the config to "one-each-host" ? Otherwise I think it would work because of the Username- option in config is quite what I look for. If I split the config up, how would you suggest to arrange it (subdirs?) to make access-control as easy as possible for apache/routers2.cgi ? - Finally mrtg-rrd.cgi: I like the graphs and everything else, the only "bug" is it doesn't display subdirectory underneath a host directory but this could be (hopefully) fixed with my little perl know-how if nescessary ;). But I have see no chance to seperate display by customer (the only option I see is to create one mrtg-rrd_customer.cgi with sepearte cfg-file for each customer which makes things quite complicated for operation/changes) All in all, is there a suggestion for a combination of MRTG-RRD displaying graphs quickly on Apache with Basic-auth (not many concurrent users viewing them) while handling with an as least complex config as possible when changing something ? (currently I see I'd have to change 10 config/cgi-files in 5 directorys for one customer and restart 3 deamons ;) Are there any good frontends with quite "original-mrtg-like" output requiring few to no own configuration (besides mrtg.cfg) that I've missed ? I also looked at cati but this seems even more complex.. Thanks for any comments.
