I had tried to import the RRD data from IPCop, but failed so I just used the switch. This will allow me to get CPU/Memory data as well though, which will be good.</p> Wow that looks really helpful, I’ll certainly give it a go.

There’s an updated version of the weathermap published on the right of the blog, showing real-time status, it’s quite interesting.

I know it is possible to parse the RRD files in Cacti, as IPCop generates its own (for the system/traffic graphs in the web GUI) – try this link:

I found it after I started using the switch, so never followed it, but it looks like it’ll do exactly what you want – you just need to setup a script to copy the RRD files from the IPCop box to your cacti server every so often.

Are you using ipacsum datas generated by Ipcop ?

I\\’m looking different ways to get it works but seems to be difficult.

Thanks.
