Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a sar-like tool available (and please nobody suggest that vmstat and related tools are anything close), but I was directed toward the use of SNMP for performance monitoring. While I had hoped for a system tool, SNMP is a viable alternative. Therefore, we will be moving forward with using MRTG to track server performance. Now, the next task. Has anyone gone down this road before? If so, would you mind sharing your MRTG configuration? Certainly, we can do this on our own. However, the values that need monitoring may take a bit of research and digging, and I hate to reinvent the wheel. Also, I'd like to hear about your experiences in doing this. Any tips, advice, or leads? Thanks! Regards, Dustin --- Dustin Puryear Information Systems Consultant http://members.telocity.com/~dpuryear In the beginning the Universe was created.
