Want to show management the growth in load on your servers in order to
justify upgrades?  Want to get more of a grasp on what's going on in your
data center?  Just like to look at colorful lines?  Cricket's good for all
that and more.

Cricket is a high performance, extremely flexible system for monitoring
trends in time-series data. In other words: it makes lots of pretty graphs
that make it easier to understand whats been going on with your servers
and/or network. Its really good at getting data via SNMP, but if you can get
some number out of something automatically you can get cricket to graph it.

Don will discuss the whys and hows of Cricket, including some examples and a
demo.

Upcoming meetings:
  December: Demystifying Data Recovery with Mark from Drivesavers
  January: No Meeting; cancelled.
  February: No speaker yet
