Cactid + Ubuntu Server Anyone?

[Gabriel]

Like to test the waters and have a gut feeling if it is worthwhile.
The official website indicates it only works with Redhat or Fedora.
Any brave souls here? Any joy?

Cheers,

Cactid? You might want to look at spine, as cactid is the extremely old version of it (it was renamed over a year ago I believe).

I have Ubuntu server that is nice to use but i have a question in my mind that what is spine server? any one have idea?

Spine, formally Cactid, is a poller for Cacti that primarily strives to be as fast as possible. For this reason it is written in native C, makes use of POSIX threads, and is linked directly against the net-snmp library for minmumal SNMP polling overhead. Spine is a replacement for the default cmd.php poller so you must decide if using Spine makes sense for your installation.

In short, supercharged poller engine
