Description : gathers information from your network and graphs it
LRRD is a system to gather and graph all sorts of information
consists of two components; a client you can install on the various
nodes in your network. The client will know how to extract various
information such as load average and bandwith usage, and will wait for
the server to request these values.
The server runs periodically from cron and gathers data from all the
clients it's aware of, and uses the data to make graphs and simple
HTML pages, arranged in a tree-like hierarchy - suitable for viewing
with a graphical web browser.
The server can optionally notify Nagios if any of the values moves
outside of a specified range.
The client includes a broad range of modules for extracting values found
on most Debian systems - creating custom ones is also very easy. You can
also create special checks which relays information from other devices
which can't run LRRD, using SNMP or similar technology.
LRRD is written in Perl, and makes heavy use Tobi Oetiker's excellent
RRDTool (http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool//index.html).
To see a real (but anonymized) example of LRRD in action, point your
