hello, my name is Pili<br><br>I'm a student and i'm trying to understand how cacti works. I know that it is the evolution of RDDtool and you need to have it installed to made it works. I have been reading tutorials, to try understanding but there's a thing i don't manage to find:
<br>Where i could find information about how configure the agents? i mean, i think i understand that the NMS needs a suite like cacti, in the agent must be running Net-SNMP or similar, but i don't know how both interact... Where i would say the ip of the device i want to monitor? what happens it the net is already done and there's a switch that supports SNMP? how i could install Net- SNMP in an agent?
<br>May be these are no the kind of questions you are used to read, but i'm a student and i can't install things in the lab (i can't enter as root). The teacher told us to decide for an architecture, but it's very difficult to me to think in such an abstract way...
<br><br>Thank you very much in advance, and i must apologize myself if my doubts have disturbed someone (or my schematic english)<br><br>best wishes <br><br>Pili<br>
