Simple Network Management Protocol is the basis for many network monitoring and management tools. MRTG, Cricket, and Cacti are three examples.

Both TSL 3.0 and 2.2 include net-snmp server and client tools. The latter has it as contrib package, so you have to enable contrib to swup it. To install snmp server tools, just issue swup --install net-snmp

Cricket and Cacti are based on the 'round robin database' (rrdtool). The swup command swup --install rrdtool-perl will install the rrdtool packages you need to use them.

 You need a mysql server; it can be on the Apache/Cacti? server or on another server. Go set up MySQL and then come back here.
