<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:#1F497D">MRTG has the ability to monitor much more than just throughput. MRTG will collect and graph any number of variables (up to 4 I believe, I’ve never tried
more than two) that can be collected by SNMP or scripts. I have used it to monitor temperature, CPU load, length in minutes of daylight during the day, and several other things as well as throughput over the years I’ve used it. I’ve also used RRDTool directly
to monitor and maintain graphs of various things when MRTG didn’t allow enough variables in a single graph or if I wanted more control over the process.

MRTG simply because I think setup/integration is easier with MRTG and Xymon. </span>

MRTG will monitor throughput only. One can tweak MRTG to measure two other things in stead of input and output, but the options are limited compared to Devmon. Thus if one wants to monitor only throughput, MRTG will do well. If one wants to monitor a number
of other parameters as well, for instance temperature, memory utilisation or stack status, Devmon is a better option.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"; color:#990000">Does anyone have an easy installation guide for devmon on Ubuntu? I installed it and got the SNMP_Session perl stuff installed, but I'm not adept enough
at linux or perl to get devmon to start for some reason. It's got a start script prebuilt for RedHat but that doesn't work for me and I don't know which paths to edit to make it work. Even if I do get it running it looks like I'll need some advanced configs
with OID's that I have no idea about. Devmon was suggested by previous posts so I thought I'd give it a shot. MRTG seems way easier than this and doesn't require OID's. Should I just go back to that?</span></p>

When installing Devmon, consider installing the patches on the SourceForge Devmon page as well. Although the latest svn version dates of last September, a number of improvements (patches) submitted in the last two years are not yet included in the distribution
version of Devmon.<br>
