perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Andrew Grabowski <>]

Evening,

My vote is to keep cacti in it!

Thank you,

Andrew Grabowski

Good afternoon,

pS-Performance Toolkit instances seem to be routinely placed outside network security perimeters.  Having Cacti available on those instances allows an organization to easily provide (e.g.) publicly-accessible traffic utilization graphs without having to expose enterprise network management tools located inside the security perimeter.

Put another way: yes please keep Cacti in the pS-Performance Toolkit.

Best regards,

Bill Nickless

Subject: Re: [perfsonar-user] Re: [perf-node-users] Cacti/SNMP collection via the perfSONAR toolkit

We are currently using Cacti as separate tool but Planning to use Perfsonar replicating the current Cacti features into Perfsonar's Cacti. So, It would be good to have the Cacti in perfsonar future versions too..

Yes, we and some other sites were using it to participate in a project that builds a (geographical) "weather" map that was on a screen at Super Computing a couple of years, and I have used it to take ps-MA data from several toolkit nodes and aggregate it, altough that's not SNMP.

I can't say that Cacti needs to be part of the toolkit to do these things but it was useful to have at hand.

Hi All:

We'd like to know if anyone is currently actually using Cacti, which is bundled on the perfSONAR toolkit, for collection of SNMP data.

We are considering removing this in future releases, and wonder if anyone will notice.
