About Cacti

Cacti polls devices over SNMP and scripts and stores the results in RRDtool round-robin databases, producing long-term graphs with a template system for device types and a plugin architecture for extensions. It has been maintained since 2001.

Strengths

  • RRDtool storage keeps years of graphs in a fixed amount of disk
  • Mature template and plugin ecosystem for network devices

Limitations

  • Interface and workflow feel dated next to newer monitoring stacks
  • Alerting requires plugins rather than being built in
