I've been looking for a good program to display load averages (IE: per day, per week, per month, etc) and other important system recources on a php (or perl) page.

A while ago I found a program called Munin: http://munin.sourceforge.net

Here's an example of exactly what I'm looking for: http://www.linpro.no/projects/munin/example/runbox.com/cujo.runbox.com.html and then specifically something that monitors the load: http://www.linpro.no/projects/munin/example/runbox.com/cujo.runbox.com-load.html


However, the documentation on Munin is very limited, they don't provide any support and this program just doesn't appear to compile correctly, so I can't get it to work.

I've been looking for an other program ever since, but never found anything that was useful at all. Does anyone know an other program which can monitor the load like this?

What about MRTG + SNMP?

Hm haven't heard of SNMP before, did you mean this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/net-snmp/ ?

Thanks Rus!

What you need is cacti:

It uses RRDTool (same guy who created MRTG) and SNMP.

This cacti looks pretty darn good
