Monitory in colisions and another itens by Cacti?

[apereira]

Hello all.

I have a question about Cacti, we have a project to use Perfomance Monitor (a windows tool). In this case we need get informations about:

Memory:
Pages / Sec
Available Bytes
Committed Bytes
Pool Non-Paged Bytes


Processor:
% Processor Time
% Privileged Time
% User Time
Interrupts / sec
System: Processor Queue Length
Server Work Queues: Queue Length

Hard Disk:
% Disk Time
Disk Queue Length
Avg. Disk Bytes/Transfer
Disk Bytes / Sec

To finalize, we need get informations about colisions and perfomance.

My question is... its possible to monitore all these itens in Cacti? Its possible to monitor colisions too?

Anyway to link here a tutorial with a example to do that? Or some important informations?

Thanks.
Regards,
Anderson.

FWIW, you mention collisions, but keep in mind, that on Ethernet networks, collisions are not errors, but events.
Ethernet is a CSCDMA technology, and collisons are expected, and transfer of data without collision detection would be very much a problem. (it's what the CD in CSCDMA means)

Now, I know some of you will want to counter that point, but, I wasn't referring in any way referring to full-duplex conenctions, late collisions, excessive collisons, etc, just the fact that collisions by themselves are normal on ETHERNET, and are not errosr.

I am not referring to using Full Duplex FastEthernet or GigabitEthernet, or 10Gb.

On an actual real Ethernet interface (10Mbs, half-duplex), no collisions at all would likely point to an actual issue.
