Pulp Free: Status

After a false start, I was able to get status.pulpfree.org back on my home servers for now. I mostly spent the additional time since I wanted to get my PowerConnect and Tomato graphs back up and running. (Yes - I know, what’s the big deal with my graphing fascination!)

For Sam who posted a comment back in April - I updated my scripts for pulling stats from Tomato for use in Cacti as well as creating some templates to use the RRD files created in PowerConnect. I’ll be posting some of those hacks in a few days… I just need to clean up my graphs to all show bits/sec instead of my goofy “make per 5 minutes” that are messing up the actual presentation.
Enjoy!

I’ve been hosting on a virtual dedicated server with Godaddy.com for about 18 months now… Hasn’t been too bad for the most part. That all changed about a week ago when performance went south. 10 tickets later and still nothing is resolved. This all happened to be right at the same time I went to Orlando this past week for the IBM Impact conference (which was actually pretty good being that I was part of Inner Circle! - More on that perhaps later…)

So what that means is that I’m going to try some new hosting at Media Temple. I’m moving more of my sites over there as I see what kind of response times and bandwidth I get of of them. So far so good… However - since it’s still a shared service, it doesn’t look like I’m going to be able to do any RRD on these servers. Bummer.

So for now the Cacti items aren’t working unless I setup this subdomain on my home servers… We’ll see… For now most of this section will be broken. Nice, huh? Thanks Godaddy.com
