Hi
Kent,
I would like to
share the posting on the list so everyone else can benefit.
I don't exactly
move data from snmpCollect databases into RRD. I tried that once but it was too
time consuming. What I did was customized a new trap whose automatic
action was to call an rrdtool update with the trap's value. Then I had
snmpCollect do my collections and call the trap everytime it collected data from
the MIB. (I did this by having the threshold lower than the rearm
value).
So,
everytime the data collector traps, it writes it to the corresponding
rrd. I then have my own front end cgi script create the
graphs for our reports. Just make sure you have your heartbeat 2
or 3 times your step if you are going to collect many MIB instances.
(thanks Alfred R.)
Hope this
helps,
Cheers, Chaz
Hi
Chaz,
I read your append to the
NetView mailing list:

I was hoping
you might be able to share your mechanisms for moving the data from the
NetView snmpCollect db into a RRD db? What front end to the RRD db
do you use?
I currently use
Cricket to collect data and present web graphs etc. I have shied away
from using snmpCollect in the past, but now have a situation where using it to
do the data collection coupled with the rollup features of RRD would be very
useful.
Any information you can
provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Regards,
Kent
