cacti cluster

[indy]

Hi there,

We plan to use cacti to monitor our clients devices : many pollers but just one cacti datacenter.

The goal is to do this the simpliest way without any configs and database (mysql) duplications, very independant.

- cacti client : poller, rrd files
The idea is to install a poller on every host to monitor.
Each poller on each host must works locally (no networks connections at all) like this :
- download its configurations from the datacenter : BerkeleyDB, flat file or XML
- build all the rrd database according to the downloaded conf file
- upload all the altered RRD files to the cacti datacenter

- cacti datacenter : confs, admin and customers web interfaces
- Datacenter holds all the cacti configuation in the builtin cacti database (mysql)
- Centralized web interface for admin and other users
- Produce a config file (BerkeleyDB, flat file or XML) for each poller/host to satisfy

Are you agree about that ?
How to do this with cacti ?
- poller is ok to work with an xml file for instance ?
- what do i need to export a config from a cacti database (mysql) ?

Any advice will be welcome
