Network Monitoring with SNMP

[JukeBox]

Hi All,

I'd like to implement some network monitoring and statistics from my FreeNAS server, makes sense since the NAS is running 24/7 and has the most customisable configuration.

There has been various comments around this in terms of MRTG, Cacti, Munin - or something similar.

Feedback is that Collectd and RRDTool should be able to provide this functionality?

In my instance, the majority of this instance will be done with SNMP. But the Collectd SNMP plugin is not included in FreeNAS.

Code:

./            email.la*     logfile.la*   ping.la*      tail.la*
../           email.so*     logfile.so*   ping.so*      tail.so*
cpu.la*       exec.la*      memcached.la* processes.la* tcpconns.la*
cpu.so*       exec.so*      memcached.so* processes.so* tcpconns.so*
csv.la*       filecount.la* memory.la*    rrdtool.la*   unixsock.la*
csv.so*       filecount.so* memory.so*    rrdtool.so*   unixsock.so*
df.la*        interface.la* network.la*   swap.la*      uptime.la*
df.so*        interface.so* network.so*   swap.so*      uptime.so*
dns.la*       load.la*      ntpd.la*      syslog.la*    uuid.la*
dns.so*       load.so*      ntpd.so*      syslog.so*    uuid.so*

1) how do I compile/get the SNMP plugin for FreeNAS 8?
2) is Net-SNMP available on FreeNAS 8?

I've created a support ticket here, without response, So I'm asking the smart folks in the forums!
