flowview -> system load?

Post by Higarigh »

Hey Guys

I have a question about the cacti Plugin Flowview (http://docs.cacti.net/plugin:flowview). Does it generate a huge system load on the cacti server? And how much load does enable the option "route-cache" produce on a cisco switch?

regards

Philip

It all depends on the amount of data being forwarded and the io bandwidth of the disks. You can track using iostat.

For those wondering, I'm still here, but lost in the shadows. Yearning for less bugs. Who want's a Cacti 1.3/2.0? Streams anyone?

iostat - good point, thank you. I will check that.

But... maybe can anyone tell me how it looks like on his switch and cacti server?... ;P
