We were counting the number of metrics graphing software we are using at work. Turns out we use a lot of them and each one has their own quirks (which is why we ended up running all them in the first place).
- MRTG
- Munin
- SmokePing
- Collection3
- Nagios Grapher
- Cacti
- Custom stackable grapher based on Collection3
A nice short term goal would be to reduce the list to not more than 2 and finally only have our custom stackable grapher (based on collection3) be “the” graphing solution for network, hosts and application metrics.
Collection4 is already out, so a upgrade too is in order.
