Cacti Network Monitoring
Preface Cacti is a web-based, PHP/MySQL graphing solution to monitor network bandwidth with SNMP using the RRDTool engine—developed by Tobi Oeticker who is already the creator of the famous MRTG. RRDtool is a program developed in C and it stores collected data on .rrd files. Cacti's strength lies in the fact that it can be installed and used easily. You don't need to be a guru or spend hours to configure it. Also, the official forum for Cacti is very active and supports Cacti users and there are lots of Cacti templates that can save your time. You can also add plug-ins to Cacti enabling the possibility of integration with other open source tools such as ntop or PHP Weathermap. This is the best RRDtool frontend. What this book covers Chapter 1 is an overview of Cacti. Chapter 2 covers the installation of Cacti on a Linux machine using both APT and a manual installation. Chapter 3 covers creating devices, adding graph templates, and monitoring network- attached devices. Chapter 4 covers the creation and usage of templates in Cacti. Chapter 5 covers the creation of users in Cacti and assigning permissions to view and edit graphs, also assigning realm permissions to access the management console to manage devices. Chapter 6 covers how Simple Network Management Protocol works—its process to work with network-attached SNMP-enabled devices. We'll also see how Net-SNMP application suite implements SNMP and Cacti uses Net-SNMP to retrieve raw data from managed-system, and then uses the RRDTool to create graphs for easy understanding.
