AFAIK, RRD can monitor just about anything you can collect data from, including SNMP (for both local and remote systems), as well as the output from local commands (to monitor anything from free memory and HDD space to the performance statistics of your mail or database server). If your secure serial line is capable of running IP or executing commands on the LEAF box, you should be able to monitor via RRD and SNMP (or some other data gathering back-end). -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?

I'm also assuming you want to run RRD on the logging box, not on the LEAF box. In this sort of setup, there's mainly one-way connectivity (the LEAF box spitting serial log messages to the logging box), which is what you want. Since you can't run arbitrary commands or communicate via networking, if you want to monitor the 'health' of the LEAF box (without adding a seperate, network connected monitoring box, which is what I'd probably do), you first need to setup something on the leaf box that dumps the desired information into the log file, which could be as simple as a crontab entry, ie: */5 * * * * root logger -t mydata `uptime` would spit out uptime and load average every 5 minutes. On the logging system, you'll need to setup something to extract the desired data from the logs and feed it to RRD, MRTG, or whatever other analysis tool you want to use (this excercise is left for the reader :-). -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
