Anyone using Cacti?

[john_case_56682]

I am running Cacti for monitoring our network, and would like to monitor the Zone Director as well. What I'm running into is that there are no Cacti templates out there and I'm not comfortable building my own. Has anybody built a Cacti template that monitors the ZD or APs?

Sorry, but if I spend the money on FlexMaster I would expect more data logging than 30 days. Hopefully I can work through the Cacti solution.

I recently ran into an issue just like this. I ran a BYOD test and the best I could do was run SNMP gets every 30 seconds to collect what turned out to be almost useless data.

Reporting on ZD3000 would be nice. I've never understood why its not there to begin with.

Which monitoring tool?

[david_monachin1]

Solarwinds NPM i built up a set of custom SNMP pollers. My issue with all of it is I would rather be able to pull a report even a simple one from the ZD rather than have to use a 3rd party app to pull data from the ZD and generate a report that way.

We made some significant enhancements to SNMP data post the 9.5 release so if you were using earlier versions I'd recommend trying 9.5.1 or higher.

Anyone willing to post config files/pollers/widgets from other platforms, I think that would be very helpful for other customers.
