Hi! I'd like to have some graphs about how the bubba is performing. I've tried an application called phpSysInfo (the output of which you can see here for my little bubba: http://msx.homelinux.org/phpsysinfo/ ).
It's nice but lacks some info i'd like to have. In particular i'd like to have a graph for CPU usage (% load), for memory use and for network use. Do you know anything like this ?
Thanks

Applications for monitoring bubba
HI msx,
Not sure if this is what you are looking for. But you could install mrtg which has some nice graphs for system usage.
It is available as debian packages mrtg and mrtgutils. Note however that this is totaly untested by us. By the looks of the screenshots in this thread Photos of your Bubba. lelle is running this on his Bubba.

I'm personally using Munin http://munin.projects.linpro.no/ and I find it very accurate, flexible and low on resources. Also I found it *way* easier to install than MRTG.
Other candidates are:
Nagios http://www.nagios.org/
Cacti http://cacti.net/
Monit http://tildeslash.com/monit/
and then there's Netmrg,Darkstat,mon,oreon,Saidar,Bigsister,ibmonitor
Some info on their differences and helpfiles on installing them is here: http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/monitortools.htm

I took you up on your recommendation for Munin, it is indeed nice, easy to install and seems to be light on resources.
But.... it doesn't show anything in the graphs. Just thought I'd check with you if you also had any trouble setting it up/using it, if there is a trick to be done somewhere etc.
Graphs without any content aren't too useful...

Think I found the problem. I noted that permissions on data files (and some other munin files) changed efter doing an "/usr/share/munin/munin-update --force-root". Seems munin couldn't access the data files any longer.
A total remove/purge of munin and munin-node, with following re-install fixed it, at least during first 15 minutes after re-install. Will verify that things are working later today.
Now this is a bit confusing as some tutorials, for example http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/munin.htm, instruct you to use --force-root.
Anyway, will report back to this thread how things develop.

Hello ...
I love information , insight of how the bubba runs...
I would love to see some-one write an instruction (application note) on how to install this for the not perfect linux user.....
@Tor
Can you make a new item on the forum where people candrop their "application note/instructions"
