Chapter 13. RRDtool and Cricket


This chapter discusses RRDtool and Cricket. RRDtool, written by the author of MRTG, was meant to be a replacement for MRTG. Instead, MRTG lived on and RRDtool found a place all its own in the world of network performance management. Unlike MRTG, RRDtool has a plethora of frontends written by people all over the world. One of the first and most widely known is Cricket. This chapter shows how to install RRDtool and Cricket on Unix. RRDtool can certainly be used alone, but the goal of this chapter is to demonstrate the easiest and quickest way to get up and running with both tools.
