system load mrtg ?
Hello I'm searching for some tools that are able to produce some graphics ( understandables by managers ...) to show the system load ( CPU . DISK I/O , memory ... etc etc ) The purpose is to show how the machine ( mailhub ) is loaded to replace it by a stronger box.

TIA MRTG will do this, you just need to make sure you provide it with the proper information. I run MRTG to monitor many things on many machines, including cpu usage, load averages, memory free/shared/cached/buffered and disk space available as well as traffic (as it was intended for). The easiest way I know how to tell you to set this up is configure your favorite SNMP service on the machine to be monitored, and snmpbulkwalk options machine mibfile then go through mibfile to find the information you need and put it in the MRTG config file. Lots of good help on stuff like this on the MRTG site. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I really wish that FreeBSD had something a bit better built into the kernel itself, to give you averages, similar to loadavg ... some easy way to determine % busy of disks, ethernet, cpu, etc ...

This is a problem with the way system load is reported to the SNMP agent, not cacti itself. Any other tool you would use to read SNMP data would give the same result. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

(Although I still have to figure out how to create custom data sources...) they are not that hard to create - you need something that returns a series of values (as many as defined in your data source in cacti) and then feed that into the processor. I remember that the tricky bit was understanding how all the custom Cacti components plugged into cacti (i.e, custom data source, custom this and that ), rather than the feed of the data itself. I'll see if I can dig up some sample if you need me to.
