- JRahmAdminDo you have a language of choice? Either way, I'd start by downloading some of the examples from the codeshare. Joe has done a lot of work with PowerShell (Click here). THere are perl, python, java, & php examples in the codeshare as well: Click here
- HamishCirrocumulusDo you have a repository of choice for the stats? If you're using cacti there are some existing SNMP templates. But you could add some iControl templates quite easily too.
- cxcal_18687NimbostratusThanks for the heads up. We are currently using 1600's.
- James_Quinby_46Historic F5 AccountIf you've got someplace you could install cacti, take a look at this page:
- cxcal_18687NimbostratusI have linux box I can you for a repos. will cacti function on it?
- James_Quinby_46Historic F5 AccountCacti will work great on linux. That page will (generall) walk you through a complete install and configuration. Wherever possible, I would use your distribution's standard package management system for installing the required components (MySQL, PHP, apache, and so on). Depending on which distro you're using, simply installing cacti may automatically resolve all of the dependencies. I'm thinking specifically of Ubuntu or Debian, with others, YMMV.
- JRahmAdminI have built cacti from ground up several times on linux and windows, but having just gone through the CactiEZ install...that's definitely the way to go. You get ntop and nagios to boot as well! Download the .iso, burn a disk, install to an available machine, you're up and running from start to finish in an hour or less. You can get CactiEZ here: Click here
