Following my first cacti host template (v1.0), which allows to graph some usefull performance metrics of HP-UX boxes, I was missing an equivalent (and somehow homogeneous) host template for Solaris and Linux boxes.
So I’ve reworked and adapted some existing graphs and data templates, basing me on the one available for Net-SNMP compatible hosts, and also creating new ones.
Now my Unix Template Set for Cacti is composed of 2 host templates:
* my HP-UX host template (see changes below),
* a Net-SNMP compatible host template (working well for Solaris and Linux host for example).
Both templates gives the same graphs, using the same colors… They allow graphing of the following metrics:
* CPU Usage: Sys, Nice, User and Idle CPU time
* Jobs Average: 1, 5, and 15min Jobs Average
* Memory occupation,
* Detailled Memory: part of used memory dedicated to buffers, cached and shared (available for Linux only, as neither Solaris nor HP-UX report such detailled information),
* Swap occupation
* Running Processes
* Logged in Users
* Lan traffic: In/Out Traffic and In/Out Errors
* Filesystem occupation
I’ve also apported some minor changes to version 1.0 existing graphs templates:
* CPU graphs now give a total of 100%,
* HP-UX load average is correctly rendered (value divided by 100, as the snmp agent report it multiplied by 100).
Feel free to download version 1.1 of the Unix Template Set for Cacti, and use and/or redistribute it under the terms of the GPL license.
