Sure it can. I do it every day. And as all you seem to need is network usage then munin will be a solution. Of course if you prefer whining about not being able to use your preferred solution insteD of being practical and just getting the job done, i cant be of any more help. Even after being commanded to read the thread again
Ok, you may be right, I don't care really. I wanted SNMP/IF-MIBS and you gave me Munin!?
It's like asking the a car dealer for a new set of tyres and they give you pontoons. Not quite the same is it?
True, but I thought what you wanted was to graph network traffic. You decided on a specific solution to your problem (SNMP) which turned out to be difficult to implement. I proposed an alternative solution to the problem (Munin) which is easy to implement.
To retain your car analogy: let's say you needs transport to go from A to B. You decide on buying a car. THe car dealer however is closed. Next door someone is selling motorcycles . Not the same thing, but in the end the primary issue is getting from A to B and the motorcycle will do that, just not in the way you first imagined.
In my first post I acknowledged that munin was not the answer to your primary question. I hope however it is the answer to your primary problem.
