Updates will be made in the coming weeks.


The RTG Utilities project is intended as a public collection of tools, utilities, and applications for leveraging the excellent RTG SNMP performance poller. At this time, I am developing a utility to query nodes on a network and gather a list of SNMP oids for RTG to poll. This list of oids, as well as other relevant info, will then be used to create the necessary configuration files and database entries for RTG to operate. This utility will differ from others available as it is being designed to scale to a network of tens of thousands of nodes. Also, the application will decide what data to collect from each node (and how to interpret that data) based on rules defined in a (hopefully) simple configuration file. A set of rules will be defined as a 'class' and each device will end up associated to one of these classes. Right now, the class assignment will have to be static, but I hope to eventually add some ability to dect which class a device should belong to automatically.


My ultimate goal for this project, and the reason for utilizing SourceForge.net, is to collect whatever software is available for using RTG in a production environment, and assemble apropriate, straight-forward solutions for deploying RTG in a multitude of situations. I sincerely hope the RTG development community can help me realize my goal, and that I can be an asset towards their goals.


Okay, that's enough for now. There's lots more code to write.
