Trending

My goal here is to create a trending platform which automatically detects new devices and detects changes to existing devices, updating relevant configuration files. Currently, I employ MRTG as the data gathering engine, with RRDTool as the database store, and a mod-perlerized version of Jan Kasprzak's CGI front-end.

Device contains links to the scripts we use to auto-generate MRTG config files to monitor useful variables on our hosts, Ethernet switches, routers, UPSes, and wireless access points.

Hand contains links to hand-crafted MRTG config files (remote access servers, summary ifInOctet/ifOutOctet).

House contains links to scripts which run each night to perform house-keeping chores.

Install documents how I install MRTG, RRDTOOl, Apache, and in-house scripts.

Interface contains a mod_perl'erized version of Jan Kasprzak’s CGI-based viewer and mrtg-html.cgi, a script which adds mrtg-rrd.cgi appropriate links to an HTML file.

Octet contains links to the scripts we use to auto-generate MRTG config files to monitor ifInOctets/ifOutOctets on every ethernet switch port in our enterprise.
