Cacti

Network graphing solution built around RRDTool

About Cacti

A complete network graphing solution that stores monitoring data in RRDTool, providing templates, user management and a web interface for graphing traffic, load and other time-series from network devices. Because the code is openly available, it can be audited, extended and run on private infrastructure, which makes it attractive to teams with privacy or compliance needs. It is commonly adopted through containers or packages, evaluated against commercial alternatives and kept because it solves a focused problem reliably at scale.
