  Description     : RRD based Network Resource Grapher

(Include the long description here.)

NRG is a system for maintaining and visualizing network data and other
resource utilization data. It automates the maintenance of RRDtool
databases and graph web pages (that look like MRTG web pages.) NRG is
primarily configured using very terse meta-configuration
strings. These strings tell NRG to autodiscover network devices and
verify that their current NRG configuration is correct. Ultimately,
the NRG system creates and maintains a web site which indexes, graphs
and provides textual tables.

NRG vs MRTG

 - NRG was written based on extensive experience with using and
   enhancing MRTG at WiscNet--one of the world's largest non-profit
   regional networks.  Because of the size of WiscNet, manual
   configuration of MRTG was too time consuming, so scripts where
   written to automate MRTG's interface discovery tool "cfgmaker".
   Many aspects of this system were overly complex and, in general,
   the system was difficult to use.  Further, the WiscNet's MRTG
   system was slow and inefficient.  In the fall of 1999, work was
   started on a rewrite of MRTG which seeks to overcome the usablity
   and scalablity issues of WiscNet's automated MRTG system.

 - There are many pieces of functionality that NRG provides that
   you can not get from MRTG.  NRG is a more rebust system for 
   graphing resources because it has

     - the ability to auto-discover data sources
     
     - the ability to automatically generate graph web pages
       that display RRDtool graphs of data sources

     - the ability to automatically generate tables that display 
       current data source values in textual form

     - the ability to automate the maintence of the entire web site

Hello,

This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or 
are involved with.

Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.

As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not 
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been 
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).

To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:

reopen 309508
thanks bts

Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
309508@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.

A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.

Thanks for your cooperation,

 -- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
