[rtg] Fwd: Results with RTG

[Harry Marcson]

@ Drew W.

Then Netflow sounds well... terrible! SNMP is for our setup the best
solution. We consider both local and external traffic as billable traffic,
so we prefer to sum them up like our current way.. Else it could be costly
(and save customers $$).

@ Gene T.

RRDtool isn't headache free to install either, and RRD makes things alot
slower and more complicated. AFAIK Cacti's poller is written in PHP, spine
(the C poller addon for cacti) is supposed to be faster, no benchmarks
online to see the significance of the performance increase however.

@ Brandon E.

Thanks for the valuable info!

1. Will definately give .8/9 a try. The inclusion of the rate sounds neat
and will probably makes calculations much easier and faster.

3. Will try out the z flag for forced 0 insertions, but will probably have
to wait for another DDOS for that.. :)

I still see no point in NOT inserting 0s, when usage is 0, except making the
graph lines better shaped.

@ Jacob S.

> But once you understand the relationship of the tables within the RTG
database, finding an interface iid and matching it to a physical port is
quite easy. If you need a hand, I'm sure the list can provide you with
instructions on how it works.

I am pretty sure I explored the table relations in the RTG database, and
could only think of using the description field of the interface id.

Thanks again everyone!
