Hi,

if you have the network monitor nagios in your company, you can use this
software in combination with e.g. nagiosgrapher to monitor TSM and to
graph stats. It's free opensource software.

I wrote some nagios-checks for monitoring vital parameters (e.g. free
scratch tapes, db usage, ...) and drawing statistical data (e.g. overall
occupancy, node occupancy, diskpool usage,...). The scripts can be found
here:

But if you don't already use nagios for other things, it would be to
much work put up a nagios-server only for this...

regards,

Volker
