We certainly are thinking about MRTG. And our MRTG expert starts work here on Monday
MRTG won't be right for everyone however. It expends considerable processing resources generating graphics for all data at every time interval (usually 5 minutes) - even if they will never be looked at.
For people with low resource servers, other resource monitors which generate the graphics on the fly, only when requested, will be more appropriate. We hope to provide alternative monitor systems, which can be installed as add-on packages which will become automatically integrated with the e-smith manager screens.
