Solved CPU/Memory usage graphs - which tool?

G

generic

Hi,

I need to get FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE memory, cpu, network, storage (ZFS) utilization/load/usage graphs. I do not know which tool shall I use. I was thinking of Nagios or something similar (cacti/zabbix?), but I do believe that is too much just for a little task.

What are your recommendations?
 
If you need to monitor more than 1 system, and you don't want to do too much tinkering, setup a Linux system (Debian or Ubuntu) and install Observium. The installation is a bit long and hairy (it's not automated), but once it's configured, it auto-detects everything else.

Enable SNMP on a system (or a switch), then add the hostname to Observium, and it will graph pretty much anything you could think of automatically (CPU, RAM, disk use, disk I/O, network I/O, logins, etc etc etc).
