Hi .

How long did your download take? Cacti averages over 5 minutes.
Weathermap 0.98a is out! & QuickTree 1.0. Superlinks is over there now (and built-in to Cacti 1.x).
Some Other Cacti tweaks, including strip-graphs, icons and snmp/netflow stuff.
(Let me know if you have UK DevOps or Network Ops opportunities, too!)

RRDTool does the actual averaging of the data which is collected.

turn the cacti logging level to medium for a polling cycle, then look to see what data it's returning for the web stats.
