I guess the other way is to understand how to modify my .sh scripts so that it could be captured by rrd. But I don't know where to start since I never used rrd before, hense why I wanted to use cacti. Can anyone suggest any "easy reading" materials that might help me go along doing this?

Cheers,

Could be,. That would be very convenient. Let me know if you want the script.

"Jason Chambers" <Jason.Chambers at geosoft.com> 9/18/2007 1:51 PM >>> Has to be a method more simpler than that. Like taking the properties of a graph:

/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.11/bin/rrdtool graph -
--imgformat=PNG
--start=-86400
--end=-300
--title="ColoBladeCenter - Fan Speed"
--base=1000
--height=120
--width=600
--alt-autoscale-max
--lower-limit=0
--vertical-label="% of maximum"
--slope-mode
DEF:a="/var/www/cacti/rra/colobladecenter_bladecent_fan1_18.rrd":bladecent_fan1:AVERAGE
DEF:b="/var/www/cacti/rra/colobladecenter_bladecent_fan2_19.rrd":bladecent_fan2:AVERAGE
LINE1:a#00A0FF:"Fan1"
GPRINT:a:LAST:"Current\:%8.2lf %s"
GPRINT:a:AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s"
GPRINT:a:MAX:"Maximum\:%8.2lf %s\n"
LINE1:b#FF7800:"Fan2"
GPRINT:b:LAST:"Current\:%8.2lf %s"
GPRINT:b:AVERAGE:"Average\:%8.2lf %s"
GPRINT:b:MAX:"Maximum\:%8.2lf %s\n"

Then placing them into hobbit's rrd definition or something.
