rrdtool?

[Dan Stromberg]

What sort of rrdtool-related or rrdtool-like software is out there, in
python?

How does it compare to the many perl and/or php efforts?

I really prefer python, but I'm not seeing much in the way of python
software for this kind of thing just yet. But hopefully, I just
overlooked it

Thanks!

By sheer coincidence I was looking into the same thing today. I just
downloaded the latest rrdtool release (rrdtool-1.2.11) and I noticed a
/bindings/python subdirectory. I haven't played with it yet, as I still
need to install tons of prerequisites before I can build rrdtool.

Thanks for the response.

I saw some python bindings for rrdtool, but what I had in mind was more
like a graphing frontend in python that uses data stored in rrdtool...
Anything like that out there?

Thanks!

I don't know of any, so maybe it's time to roll our sleeves

Actually, a while ago I started a python project called perfstats
(<http://sourceforge.net/projects/perfstats>) which uses SNMP to
retrieve various system performance metrics, stores them into a
Firebird database, then displays them using the biggles module. I
haven't worked on it in a while, and I'd rewrite it from scratch
probably. If you want to see the source, check out
<http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/perfstats/>.
