Sebelum melakukan instalasi dan konfigurasi cacti, tentu kita harus tahu dulu dong, apa sih cacti ? untuk apa sih cacti itu ?
Nah disini saya mengutip dari website official cacti sendiri, disini dijelasin tuh apa cacti dan kegunaannya.
Cacti is a complete network graphing solution
designed to harness the power of RRDTool’s data storage and graphing
functionality. Cacti provides a fast poller, advanced graph templating,
multiple data acquisition methods, and user management features out of
the box. All of this is wrapped in an intuitive, easy to use interface
that makes sense for LAN-sized installations up to complex networks with
hundreds of devices.
