Here are the key concepts:

- The best thing to do is to familiarize yourself with the concept of snmp and how xml files work.

- Then, having a basic understanding of scripting languages is important.

- The scripting languages Cacti support are endless.

- The most preferred are PHP, Perl, VBS, and shell scripts.

- You also need to understand the concepts of Template development and use of those templates.

- It is very important the you finalize the development of your templates prior to your deployment or you will regreat it.

Good Luck!
