RHEL 5.2 cacti Installation notes

Cacti in English means Cactus, but in the Open Source world it also has another meaning-NOC monitoring software, in addition to its own powerful functions, it can also install many plug-ins to achieve expansion. In many places in China, it may still be using expensive NOC software for monitoring, so cacti fans can rest very comfortably.
