(RADIATOR) Monitoring Tools

[Bret Jordan]

All,

With Hugh's blessing I am making this announcement.

I have written a tool (that I think will be in the goodies directory 
going forward) that will graph the current users associated to your 
wireless networks.  The tool is called apsessiontracking and is in the 
geektools package.  This tool will use SNMP to get the value of the 
current number of users associated to an AP and then graph that via RRD. 
  It also has the ability to hook a shell script to get the value if 
your AP does not have SNMP or the correct OID for current sessions.

As I add functionality or tools to the package, I will send it up to 
Hugh for the goodies directory.  But you will always be able to download 
the latest version at http://utahgeeks.sourceforge.net

Please send bugs and feature requests to me.  I have attached a sample 
of what the daily graph could look like.

Some of the tools I will be adding to the package in the next few weeks are:
1) A client/server piece so that you can share "totals" with some one 
else.  Example here at our University every organization runs their own 
wireless network and we want to have a central "totals" graph by 
organization and we do not really care about sharing the details just 
the totals.
2) Tools for other devices that have environmental sensors like Temp.
3) One request I have had is to do a log watcher script for Radiator and 
I might look into that if I have time.

Bret
