Realtime Is Awesome - How Does It Work? Accuracy?

Post by willieb »

So far I love the realtime plugin! Is there a document or site that I can read on how realtime works? The info page doesn't give much info on how it actually works.

I'm wondering since polling in scheduled tasks (Windows Server) is only set for 5 minutes. Does it actually SNMP poll for the information at the specified times?

Not being used to it or knowing how it works yet, I question its accuracy. How accurate is it?

It runs a special poller as a separate process, if I remember correctly. It should be pretty accurate.
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!)
