Re: {bb} rrd question

[Jim Johnson <jajohnso@gmail.com>]

I use bb, rrdtool, mrtg and bb-mrtg.pl to do all the graphing for our
UPS's, some of our servers and all our temperature gauges.  That setup
hooks right into BB and you can turn alerts on or off based on your
mrtg cfgs for your devices.  Check out Al Payne's site
(http://www.pleiades.com/mrtgbb/) and see if that's the kind of thing
you're looking for.  I've been using it for months and it works great
for me. Plus he just released the latest version of bb-mrtg.pl a
couple of days ago. Good luck!
