Simple Monitoring Tool by digits and time/date

Lexus45 · 01-29-2014, 10:59 PM

Hello all.

Is there any simple monitoring tool wich can draw graphics by 2 values: some digits and date/time ?

For example asterisk -rx 'core show calls' | head -n 1 | awk '{print $1}' will generate a digital value - a number of calls in Asterisk. And the other axis will show the date/time of that moment.

Thank you.

PS: I know, there are plugins for Cacti, Nagios and so on. But I wonder if there is any lightweight solution.

Define "simple".

Simple could be something like http://sysusage.darold.net/
very light, and very configurable.

That says
"Since version 3.0 you can create your own monitoring plugins. Any script or program can be embeded in SysUsage provided that it return up to 3 numeric values. The graphic title and labels are defined in the configuration file."

Haven't actually used it but gnuplot is avaialble on many distributions and can probably do what you want.
