Cacti is a set of network traffic detection graphics analysis tools developed based on PHP, Mysql, SNMP and RRDTool. cacti acquires data through snmpget and uses RRDtool to draw images, in addition, you do not need to understand the complex parameters of RRDtool. RRDtool provides powerful data and user management functions. you can specify that each user can view the tree structure, host, and any graph, it can also be used in combination with LDAP for user verification, and colleagues can also add templates by themselves, which is very powerful and complete. User-friendly.
Mysql uses php programs to store some variable data and call the variable data, such as the host name, host IP address, snmp group name, port number, template information, and other variables.
The data captured by Snmp is not stored in mysql, but in the rrdtool generated rrd file.
