LRRD is a system to gather and graph all sorts of information consists of two components; a client you can install on the various nodes in your network. The client will know how to extract various information such as load average and bandwith usage, and will wait for the server to request these values. The server runs periodically from cron and gathers data from all the clients it's aware of, and uses the data to make graphs and simple HTML pages, arranged in a tree-like hierarchy - suitable for viewing with a graphical web browser. The server can optionally notify Nagios if any of the values moves outside of a specified range. The client includes a broad range of modules for extracting values found on most Debian systems - creating custom ones is also very easy. You can also create special checks which relays information from other devices which can't run LRRD, using SNMP or similar technology. LRRD is written in Perl, and makes heavy use Tobi Oetiker's excellent RRDTool (http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool//index.html). To see a real (but anonymized) example of LRRD in action, point your favourite web browser to http://www.linpro.no/projects/lrrd/example/. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux lush 2.4.19-xfs-atm #1 Thu Oct 17 20:50:21 CEST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
