About:
Cacti is a complete frontend to RRDTool. It stores
all of the necessary information to create graphs
and populate them with data in a MySQL database.
The frontend is completely PHP driven. Along with
being able to maintain graphs, data sources, and
round robin archives in a database, Cacti also
handles the data gathering. There is SNMP support
for those used to creating traffic graphs with MRTG.

Cacti Rocks
by sloop - Jun 14th 2004 20:02:43
In less than an hour from downloading the cacti tarball, I had working,
usable graphs. Very slick web-based control interface for adding devices,
graphs, graph trees (groups of devices), and users. You can add users and
only let them look at the devices/graphs you want them to see.

very, very good
by Ralph - May 29th 2003 15:30:27
Hi Ian,
you make a very, very good job.
Thx a lot for that.
Cacti, together with Nagios, might become a Tivoli-Killer, someday.
I would be proud of becoming a core developer.
I use cacti beta in a bank environment -
even knowing there a lots of bugs.
It's worth the risk.
My target is to monitor 60.000 PCs.
But i urgently want you to set up a CVS Server.
If you want me to, i will do that.

Wonderful, but complex.
by Daniel Swan - May 6th 2003 19:22:38
There's a lot of promise here, but I think it's in need of some
simplification.... I've been beating my head for two days trying to get it
to track disk usage, but all I get are blank graphs.
A nice feature for future development would be a standardized
"module" format, that when installed, would automatically load
the data source definition into the database, and create the graph
parameters.
Anyhow, great work so far... Cacti will obviously be worth keeping an
eye on.

Easier to install/run than Cricket.
by AltGrendel - Oct 30th 2002 22:41:00
Worked with cricket for a month, couldn't get it running. Nothing in the
archives or the mail list helped. Tried cacti, had it running in 4 hours.
It looks great.

Great Program..
by Malachi - May 6th 2002 10:04:04
I've been working with MRTG, RRDtool, Cricket, HotSANiC, etc for a while
now. I admin/engineer a very small campus. It needs complicated read outs
due to the nature of the business I work in but Cricket was really built
for a large scale campus. The aggrigate information I can grab about
servers, statistics, ins/outs on a tree view self-described heirarchy from
Cacti puts the world I live in--in view.
I've got a lot of vested time in Cacti and more time to come, but it does
everything I need with a spif (and rare) uber GUI.. Allowing me to setup
graph snapshots for developers to administration to see whats going on and
whats affecting their world.
Apprecaite the good job and contributors, keep up the excellent effort.
