RE: Power Analysis/Management Tools

  • From: Chris Russell

 Cacti is a cracking bit of software, but I found this difficult to
integrate and customize to what we required. 

 I ended up writing our own, custom pollers, Database backend, web frontend
and rrd to generate the graphing. 

 We were quoted something like £50k for something awfully similar..


Cheers,

Chris

Subject: Power Analysis/Management Tools

Not to go too off-topic, but if there is a more preferred location for me to
ask, please let me know. I'm looking for recommendations on open source
packages that people are using for monitoring power utilization of their
network/server gear.

We're using Cacti currently, pulling the data from APCs via SNMP, and I
wanted to check if someone had come across a better method before I
reinvented the wheel.
