Cacti does the job graphically extremely well (best rrd front-end ever IMO), but it has no actual reporting tools and it's all rrd based so not extremely handy for long-term accounting and historical data. The 95% and accumulated datatraffic ar generated by the interface, not stored in the actual rra's itself. In terms of reporting there's nothing there really, it's just poll -> store in rra -> graph Erik On Tue, 2005-10-11 at 09:32 -0700, McNamara, Colin wrote:

I would recommend using Cacti for interface speed monitoring.

It is available at www.cacti.net

We need some fairly complex SNMP accounting software (data center) style stuff that can monitor cisco equipment for bandwidth utilization and generate reports based on 95th percentile and also perhaps even their actual bandwidth usage (how many gigs of transfer they use per month, day, week.. etc) Does anyone know of anything good that does anything like this? It needs to be reliable? Can be open source, we’re using MRTG to track utilization but we need something that really handles “accounting” for us.

Thanks,
