What do you think about good graphs monitoring tool?

Hello,

I already said, I come from ClearOS, I’ve try this distro because it`s was my first distro of choice when I was managing to upgrade my router.

Before, installing my Microserver, I had a Ubiquity Edgerouter POE 5 ports… This router is an wonderfull routeur with linux based system named EdgeOS, a derivative a Vyatta, itself a derivative of Debian.

EdgeOS is not only powerful, it has a beautiful and intuitive interface, but further this has good graphics monitoring tools, like this:

ClearOs has a same king of tools:

Pfsense have such tool too:

Because one graph could be a good monitoring tool, I would love to have such graphs in Nethserver…

What do you think of such tools?

You already have them.
Just install collectd and one its web interface (collectd-web or collectd graph panel).
See: http://docs.nethserver.org/en/stable/statistics.html

TL;DR

yum install nethserver-cgp

@giacomo I have just installed collectd, will it start collecting data for automatically or do I have to configure something?

Collectd does not give me what I am looking for? It is a very basic output

What are you looking for?

Lewis · October 21, 2015, 1:23pm

Reports, Graphs, Hosts, Protocols, almost like ntopng… Have you seen the ClearOS report page…

I was looking other stuff…
And SME Server have such tools

And openMediaVault too

Can we have some useful and well integrated graphs too?

NethServer has lots of graphs.
You need to install collectd to collect data and cgp to visualize graphs.

Just to comapre network latency, here’s a screenshot:

Is not pretty enough.

Jim · February 1, 2016, 4:13pm

I know @filippo_carletti there are graphs
But they look like this:

it lack few polishment to look well integrated, at least

filippo_carletti · February 1, 2016, 4:19pm

Got it. And I agree. Personally, I’m not good with aesthetics, but I’d like to work on better integration.

At Linuxschools we have Monitorix as a graphing tool for monitoring: http://www.monitorix.org/screenshots.html

I see the same graphics (i.e. generated from the same sw/libraries) just with different parals regarding formatting and used in differently styled pages

Continuing the discussion from NethServer v7-alpha2:

To celebrate this great news, and because it’s carnaval time here:

Enjoy

For collectd…it’s done

Now, it’s time to give a pretty good look to ntopng
