Cacti is going to allow you to graph many different things but the bb-xsnmp
has the logic built in to check different things like load, heat, power
supply redundancy, etc
Mine checks BGP, cpu load, fans, memory, power, temperature, uptime for
cisco switches/routers
It also gets info from our netapp servers, such as cpu, disk, fans, inode,
power, power, uptime
And our APC ups systems, such as power, sys, temperature
It is not as integrated with Hobbit as I would like, but works quite well.
The main thing is that on the server that runs it, I keep a bb-cputab and
bb-dftab just for the netapp servers which it checks in the
hobbit/server/etc folder.

Subject: Re: [hobbit] Cisco switches?
Now my curiosity is piqued - for those of us unfamiliar with Cacti and MRTG,
which path is the easiest to pursue so that Cisco switches (or anything
SNMP) can be monitored within Hobbit? Is there some documentation available
someplace that discusses this configuration?

I use cacti, and plain 'ol mrtg. Probably will just switch purely over to
cacti eventually.
mrtg incororates well straight into hobbit.

I use bb-xsnmp.pl from deadcat primarily to monitor many cisco switches from

Most data is already configured to be graphed by the server.

Subject: [hobbit] Cisco switches?
Is anyone out there monitoring cisco switches over snmp? I'd be interested to
know if anyone is doing this and is graphing the traffic on it.
