Who Me Too'd this solution

L1 Bithead

I finally managed to start monitoring with the API, very simple CLI commands and rrdtool on a linux box.

Simply put:


Polling every 5 mins through cronjob

- wget to poll the API which is fed to grep -c to count the active connections

- output of the above is used to update the RRD

Graphs generated every 5 mins through cronjob representing both our gateways and the total and display of the maximum amount of connections.

Graph looks like this now, will make it sexier as I get the chance

If anyone is interested I'd be glad to share the scripts and commands. RRDtool is not user-friendly for first-timers... at all! 😐
