Cacti
Cacti is an open-source, web-based network monitoring and graphing tool
designed as a front-end application for the open-source, industry-standard
data logging tool
Cacti is a complete frontend to rrdtool, it stores all of the necessary information
to create graphs and populates them with data in a MySQL database. The
frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with being able to maintain Graphs,
Data Sources, and Round Robin Archives in a database, cacti handles the data
gathering also. There is also SNMP support for those used to creating traffic
This package requires a functional MySQL database server on either the
installation host or remotely accessible system. If you do not already have a
database server available, you should also install mysql-server.

• unlimited graph items
• auto-padding support for graphs
• graph data manipulation
• flexible data sources
• data gathering on a non-standard timespan
• custom data-gathering scripts
• built-in SNMP support
