Cacti is a cracking bit of software, but I found this difficult to
integrate and customize to what we required.=20
I ended up writing our own, custom pollers, Database backend, web =
frontend
and rrd to generate the graphing.=20
We were quoted something like =A350k for something awfully similar..
Cheers,
Chris

Not to go too off-topic, but if there is a more preferred location for =
me to
ask, please let me know. I'm looking for recommendations on open source
packages that people are using for monitoring power utilization of their
network/server gear.
We're using Cacti currently, pulling the data from APCs via SNMP, and I
wanted to check if someone had come across a better method before I
reinvented the wheel.
