MRTG - www.mrtg.org - is the Multi-Router Traffic Grapher written in Perl. If performs well under both Linux and Windows. (for Windows download ActivePerl.) MRTG uses SNMP to poll the device you are wanting to monitor and takes the results and graphs them over time. So you can see utilization of an Access Point, or a T1 to the net, or whatever. The script on the SB website allows MRTG to get the info it needs to provide you with that information. An example of our monitor of our West Hills Access Point is, ************************************************ ## MRTG Configuration Files WorkDir: c:\inetpub\stats\files imagedir: c:\inetpub\stats\files RunAsDaemon: yes Options[_]: bits, growright, unknaszero, withzeroes XSize[_]: 300 YSize[_]: 90 Colours[_]: GREEN#00C000,BLUE#000080,RED#800000,BLACK#000000 EnableIPv6: no Target[192.168.253.111_1]: `sb-mrtg.pl -i 192.168.253.111 -c public -t e` MaxBytes[192.168.253.111_1]: 720896 Title[192.168.253.111_1]: Traffic Analysis for West Hills AP Ethernet port PageTop[192.168.253.111_1]: <H1>Traffic Analysis for West Hills AP Ethernet port</H1> ********************************************* Hope this helps.
