This program is currently a cgi script which will setup and manage configuration files for mrtg. It will automagically detect host types and has a built in listing of various performance values for them which can be monitored with mrtg. All that is needed from the user is the hostname or IP address and the community name. It will manage multiple hosts to monitor broken down into individual directories base on clientnames or other pertinent information by which they can be subcategorized. The original intent was to create a system which would allow a NOC (Network Operations Center) to monitor multiple client computers and keep an eye on any potential performance bottlenecks. If that's something you're looking for or just want to monitor your home LAN, this might be the tool for you.
This software has only been tested on Linux based systems, but should work with any system capable for running mrtg and the ucd-snmp suite. If you test this with other systems and find problems, please contact DElder@novacoast.com. Enjoy :)
