[csw-users] Migrating monitoring services from Linux - Munin server missing some files??

[Kaya Saman]

Wow :-)

Many thanks for the all the help and explanations!!!

I so appreciate everyone's willingness to help out and not be frustrated 
with me getting up to speed.

Ok, I seem to have missed the point that on Juergen's developer page 
(the link that was provided) there are instructions on how to use.... - 
my bad!

Anyhow, now that I am clear of how to go about I am getting a weird error:

using the command:

pkgutil -t http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/experimental/ja -U -u


Sebastian you didn't have the -U flag in your command??

Anyhow adding cacti to the end of the line resulted in this:

Parsing catalog, may take a while...
Package cacti not in catalog...exiting.


In the mean time I managed to discover the Sun Management Center too 
which also graphs but I don't know if there's a fee for that or if I can 
use in conjunction with Cisco network equipment to monitor their h/w?? I 
guess I will need to contact Sun for that one. Am just gona keep this as 
a backup plan in case Cacti doesn't work as I really like Cacti since 
anything running the SNMP protocol I can monitor.

Regards,

Kaya
