Has anyone had to aggregate bandwidth data from multiple interfaces for billing. For example I'd like to poll with an open source tool and aggregate data from multiple interfaces connected to the same customer or multiple customers for the purpose of billing and capacity management. Is there an easy way to do this with cacti/rrd or another open source kit?
With the rrdtool backend, you can certainly define and add multiple sources from different files together. Using 'AREA' first and subsequently 'STACK' to view multiple data sources is particularly nice for visualization. Otherwise, the RRDs and Statistics::Descriptive libraries in Perl can probably go a long way towards what you might be wanting for reporting. Dale
