Overview

SNMP-based monitoring tools, such as MRTG, allow network administrators to monitor the activity and health of network devices in real time. Cisco SCA BB includes an SNMP-based real- time monitoring solution, which is implemented using MRTG and a Round Robin Database (RRDTool).

The SCA BB Real-Time Monitoring Configuration Utility (rtmcmd) is a command-line utility (CLU) for automating the production of the files required by the MRTG tool.

What are MRTG and RRDTool?

The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is a tool that monitors the traffic load on network links by monitoring specified SNMP counters. It generates HTML pages containing images that provide real-time visual representation of this traffic, allowing the user to see traffic load on a network over time in graphical form. The SCE platform running the SCA BB application provides numerous SNMP counters that can be used to produce reports.

Round Robin Database Tool (RRDTool) stores and displays time-series data. The data is stored in a round-robin database so that the system storage footprint remains constant over time. This tool is used in conjunction with MRTG to produce higher-quality graphics.
