Anyone thats seen MRTG (simple, static) on a large network realizes that decoupling the graphing from the polling is necessary. The disk i/o is brutal. Cacti has a slick interface, but also doesn't scale all that well for large networks. I prefer RTG, though I haven't seen a nice interface for it, yet.
How large did you have to get for cacti to "not scale"? Did you try the cactid poller [which is much faster than the standard poller]? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis | I route Senior Network Engineer | therefore you are Atlantic Net | _________ http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key_________
