Live Data

Remstats was written by Thomas Erskine at the CRC in Canada and now looking for work.

List of RRDs

Collected by the cisco-access-collector

  • ciscolinespeeds - distribution of line speeds used on a Cisco Access Server. It worked on a 5300 and ought to work on the 52xx series.
  • collector-cisco-access - status of the cisco-access-collector itself

Collected by the log-collector

  • collector-log - status of the log-collector itself
  • dnscachelog - counts of access to dnscache (from djbdns)
  • ftpxferlog - file and byte counts from xferlog produced by wu-ftpd
  • httpdlog - from a standard httpd log-file, counts accesse, successes and bytes
  • namedstats - stats from a BIND8 server, triggered by signalling it every 5 minutes. Only possible on a lightly used server.
  • newshistory - counts articles by hierarchy, from an INN server's history file. You'll have to change this to include hierarchies which are of interest to you.
  • newslog - from the newslog of INN, counts articles by news-neighbor. Again, you'll have to change this to include your neighbours.
  • qmaillog - from qmail-send's log, counts messages in, deliveries (ok, failed or deferred), and concurrency of local and remote deliveries.
  • qmail-poplog - from a tcpserver log of running qmail-pop3d, counts sessions and concurrency.
  • qmail-smtplog - from a tcpserver log of running qmail-smtpd, counts sessions and concurrency.
  • sendmaillog - from a sendmail log, counts messages, bytes and deliveries. Not tested recently; let me know if it still works, or not.

Collected by the nt-status-collector

  • collector-nt-status - shows the status of the nt-status-collector itself
  • ntactivity - from performance counters, gives interrupts, context-switches, system-calls, sessions and open-files counts.
  • ntcpu - from performance counters, gives cpu usage. Unfortunately, I have yet to figure out what these numbers actually mean. Explanations and/or calculations are welcome.
  • ntlogicaldisk-* - from performance counters, gives reads, writes, bytes in and out and disk free.
  • ntmemory - from performance counters, gives memory free and committed.
  • ntnetwork - from performance counters, gives network bytes and packets in and out, for the host as a whole. Not very usefull for a host with more than one interface.
  • ntnetworkinterface-* - from performance counters, gives, for input and output, bytes, unicast packets, non-unicast packets, errors and discards.
  • ntpaging - from performance counters, gives page reads and writes, count of pages in and out and page fount counts.
  • ntservice-* - from SRVINFO (in the NT Resource Kit), gives status of the named NT service.
  • nttime - from time, gives time difference between NT host and remstats collector host.
  • ntuptime - from SRVINFO (in the NT Resource Kit), gives uptime

Collected by the ping-collector

  • collector-ping - the status of the ping-collector itself
  • ping - gives ping-echo's received and min, max and average of response time for them.
  • ping-* - as ping, but allows you to ping a specified interface on this host.

Collected by the port-collector

  • collector-port - gives the status of the port-collector itself.
  • airqualityontario-* - collects air quality info from the Ontario Ministry of the environment web-site, giving a number which indicates how bad the air is.
  • environmentcanada-* - collects weather info from the Environment Canada web-site, by airport code, and gives status and response-time, temperature, pressure, windspeed, windchill, dewpoint, humidity and visibility. An example of a wildcard port collector.
  • port-* - gives status and response-time for the specified port
  • weathernetwork - collects weather for Ottawa from The Weather Network's web-site and gives status and response-time, temperature, humidity, humidex, pressure, windspeed, and dewpoint.

Collected by the snmp-collector

  • apcenv - collects info from an APCC UPS's Environmental Monitoring unit, giving temperature and humidity.
  • apcups - collects ups-related info from an APCC UPS's SNMP unit giving time on battery, battery capacity, battery temperature, battery run-time remaining, load, output current, voltage and frequency and input voltage, current, frequency and phase.
  • bgppeer-* - collects info about BGP4 peers via SNMP giving current BGP state, counts of updates and sessions, peer start time and last update time.
  • ciscotemperatures - collects info from high-end Cisco routers giving the inlet and outlet temperatures for the chassis.
  • collector-snmp - shows the status of the snmp-collector itself.
  • dsinuse - collects the counts of lines in use from a Cisco 5300 Access Server via SNMP (ought to work on a 5200 too).
  • frif-* - collects info on Frame-Relay interfaces, similar to snmpif-*, giving input and output bytes and frames, speed and operational status.
  • netappcpu - collects CPU usage from a Network Appliance Filer.
  • pixmem - collects memory usage info from a Cisco Pix Firewall.
  • pixsessions - collects session counts from a Cisco Pix Firewall.
  • snmpcpu - collects CPU usage from Cisco Routers.
  • snmpif-* - collects interface data giving input and output bytes, unicast and non-unicast packets, errors and interface status.
  • snmpif2-* - collects interface data giving input and output bytes, unicast and non-unicast packets, errors and interface status. This rrd is intended to replace snmpif-* when it's working correctly, as it doesn't require special-casing in the snmp-collector.
  • snmpmem - collects memory usage from Cisco routers
  • snmpuptime - collects uptime
  • squid - collects usage info from te squid web-cache giving memory, CPU and disk usage, number of objects in the cache, cache hits, bytes in and out and current number of clients.

Collected by the snmp-route-collector

  • collector-snmp-route - shows the status of the snmp-route-collector itself. Note that this collector is too slow to be of interest except for routers with a small number of routes, not Internet gateway routers.
  • snmp-routes-* - collects counts of routes and best routes from a given peer.

Collected by the unix-status-collector

  • afpdprocs - (obsolete) collects count of AppleTalk File Protocol Daemons running (from netatalk).
  • atalkdprocs - (obsolete) collects count of AppleTalk Daemons running (from netatalk).
  • collector-unix-status - shows the status of the unix-status-collector itself.
  • cpu - collects user and system cpu usage.
  • df-* - collects disk (file-system actually) size and free space in bytes and (if applicable) inode totals and free counts.
  • ftpcount - collects count of wu-ftpd daemons running, by access class. Note that you'll have to modify this one to specify the access classes of interest.
  • ftpusers - collects counts of wu-ftpd daemons running.
  • if-* - collects info from "netstat -i" interface packets and errors, both input and output, plus collisions and interface status.
  • inndsize - collects the size of the INN News Daemon
  • load - collects the load average for 1, 5 and 15 minutes.
  • memory - collects the memory usage from vmstat, including scanrate on Solaris.
  • namedxfers - collects the count of BIND's zone transfers running.
  • newsreaders - collects the count of news readers, actually the count of nnrpd processes.
  • nmbdprocs - (obsolete, replaced by procname-*) collects counts of nmbd processes running (part of the samba package).
  • proc-diskio - collects disk I/O info from /proc/stat on linux giving read and write operations and block counts.
  • procname-* - collects a count of the number of the * named process.
  • qmail-qstat - collects info about the qmail queue giving size and backlog.
  • qmail-qstat2 - collects info about the qmail queue giving size and backlog. This version operates without calling qmail-stat, to avoid a bug in it when dealing with large queues.
  • qmail-qtypes - (obsolete, use qmail-qstat)
  • sarlin-paging - SAR stats for Linux paging, showing both activity and occupancy type.
  • smbdprocs - (obsolete, use procname-*) collects a count of the number of smbd processes running.
  • tcpstates - collects counts of tcp sessions in their various states from netstat giving established, syn-received, listen, close-wait, last-ack, fin-wait-1, fin-wait-2, closing, time-wait, and syn-sent.
  • unixtime - collects the difference between the collector's clock and the collected system's clock.
  • uptime - collects uptime (number of seconds).
