This video describes the installation of Cacti in Ubuntu which is a Debian distribution. Cacti is a PHP based web graphing tool that is free to download and install. Cacti could be practically installed in any operating system, but the easiest and cheapest would be to have a Linux distribution such as Ubuntu.
Once the installation is complete, you are taken in to a practical environment where few ports of a real-world 3com switch is added in to the graphing. Then a tree the new device is added in to the ‘Default Tree’ as a ‘Host’. Individual graphs can be added using ‘Graph’ option over there.
Few minutes after adding the device, the newly developed graphs are starting to show up.
