>From http://bb4.com/ select 'support' (http://bb4.com/support.html) and then 'Enhancements and Plugins' (http://www.deadcat.net/) then search on 'larrd'. Here's the short-form writeup:
Create graphs of the information that BB collects so that you can see the trend of disk space usage or CPU utilisation etc etc. NB: this package requires Tobi Oetiker RRDTOOL http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/, perl and the rrd perl module. Check larrd.packetpushers.com or BB Community Doco for more information. This is an update to larrd-0.42 (backwards compatible). OS: UNIX Other I think it took me about three days to get everything tied together once I got started. I get 4 graphs (last 48 hours, last 12 days, last 48 days, and last 576 days) for cpu load, tcp/ip connection times, cpu utilization (system, user, wait, and idle states) and system call activity. The 576 day chart shows my SAP DB server has gone from roughly 10% system state to 17% system state over the last 18 months as workload has picked up; the 48-hour chart shows me that my TSM backup (gotta get back on topic somehow :-) runs for 2.5 hours at 50% system, 25% user and 15% wait (on a 4-way 660-6M1 - ouch!).
