historical logging of server load - mrtg?

[spaceman]

Hi All,

OK, so I can use 'top' to monitor the load on my dedicated server at any given time, and mrtg graphs are available to view my bandwidth - how do I combine the two so I can see mrtg-like graphical representation of my server load over time?

Is mrtg cut out for this is job or is it optimised for traffic/bandwidth bandwidth monitoring only?

How do others monitor server load?

Thanks for any feedback.

HotSaNIC should do the job. Project page is here:

Examples of what you can monitor and output here: http://hotsanic.sourceforge.net/example/index.html

Thanks! I'll check it out.

I'm also waiting on some information regarding mrtg's ability to do the job too...

Hi-
A well configured mrtg is also very nice for monitoring server load. I can't remember any urls off the top of my head, but take a look at http://www.webhostingtalk.com and search for mrtg.
Hope you find that helpful.
