Monitor Your Network Traffic with Cacti
- 
 LinuxUser & Developer has an article to help you get started with Cacti for network monitoring. Could make for a great weekend Linux project!

 Sweet! Thanks for posting! 
- 
 You are very welcome! 
- 
 It's not a very good tutorial, FYI. 
- 
 It wasn't a good tutorial but I installed and configured Cacti. It is monitoring/graphing a few of my servers right now. The graphs look really cool, now I just need to figure out a good way to pull them out and display them. 
- 
 I really wish that Cacti would take some time and move to a prettier interface. It looks so dated.

 Nope

 I personally like MRTG much better
