MRTG is a great graphing tool for small applications. Unfortunately
the package does not scale very well for my purposes. The snmp polling
and data storage in the logfiles are areas that I have problems with
using MRTG. Are there any other viable alternatives to MRTG, or are
there any existing mods to mrtg that graph right out of a file rather
than polling for itself? I already have the data I need and would
like to reuse it. If possible I would like to have a package that
is separated into 3 sections. One section can be called upon to
do polling or gathering data out of a repository. The second can
be called upon to do statistics runs. The 3rd can be called to provide
graphs on demand.
