Hey John, Integration is sometimes easy, but more often unexpectedly complex ;-) We have talked about NetFlow integration, something I am particularly keen on, since I am the primary author of CoyoteMonitoring (the VA uses our code). CoyMon uses the flow-tools suite and is in the process of replacing the perl tools from CAIDA and wisc.edu (FlowScan, SubnetIO, etc.) with cleaner, "enterprise-ready" python implementations. flow-tools is very fast and open source, so if we were to use anything, there'd be a good chance we'd lean in that direction. But it sounds like you might just be asking for integration of graphs that Crannog's Tracker produces? Can you be more specific about the type of data from Tracker that you want to have integrated? If what you want is the parsing of flow files and the generation or RRD graphs from flows, there's already a ticket opened for this here: http://dev.zenoss.org/trac/ticket/149 d _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
