Pulp Free: Status

I spent a few minutes switching my Linksys WRT54GS router back to Tomato firmware last night after not really getting much more out of DD-WRT. Well, I actually switched back to DD in order to work on getting some metrics out of it (since it supports SNMP) but never got around to actually hooking up Cacti to it. And I missed some of the real-time metrics built into Tomato…

However, I still wanted to get some metrics into Cacti so I resorted to writing a few more scripts to do in manually (since Tomato does not have SNMP support). Now I get the best of both worlds! I’m only trending network, CPU and memory so it’s not like it’s I’ve invented anti-gravity or anything… But I’m happy with it!
