Has anyone successfully installed cacti on SME6?
http://www.speedfactor.ath.cx/howto/ is written for 5.x, plus there have been some big updates to cacti since it was written...
I'm willing to be a guinea pig report back my results, but just thought i'd check first :)
Oh and I'm specifically wanting to use it to graph qmail traffic, so if anyone has a better idea/method let me know please!

I have used two different applications that delivers the data in diferent manners.
I have used qmailmrtg7 http://www.inter7.com/mrtg.html on a none SME platform, when I worked for an ISP and liked that application alot. It fits into the other MRTG graphs and gives an good overview of what happens in the smtp/pop world.
Take a look at the demo on http://www.inter7.com/mrtg/
isoqlog http://www.enderunix.org/isoqlog/ delivers the stats in a hard number manner.
There is a demo of isoqlog at http://www.enderunix.org/isoqlog/output/
My summary
- qmailmrtg7 is god for graphs and trends with 5 minutes intervalls.
- isoqlog is god at delivering summaries of what has happend in the email world.
My pref is qmailmrtg7 because I can correlate cpu usage with a high email load because the graphs are alike.
Take a look at it and lets hear your comments !

Thanks for that - I should have mentioned I already use IsoQlog... You're right, it's great for tracking down detailed stats, but i want to do exactly as you say and get an overview of email traffic, as well as virus-infected emails and bounces. You can't beat graphs for giving the status of your system at a glance!
Thanks for the comments....I'm looking at qmailmrtg7 now.

Well, Jesper has made some mrtg contribution on the spam/virus part, look at http://sme.swerts-knudsen.dk/ for installation and demos.
- Monitor SpamAssassin with MRTG
- Monitor ClamAV with MRTG
And a lot more. Keep up the god work Jesper ;-)
