Introduction

A web based tool to analyse data extracted from various devices via MRTG and generate a capacity forecast.

Implementation

MRTG clients which POST data to data repository. Web based application displays data and performs periodic forecasting runs for which graphs are generated for display via a web server. The application will have the ability to export forecasts as Excel Spreadsheets to facilitate what-if analysis.

Generating Excel Files

See Generating Excel Spreadsheets Programatically

Parsing MRTG Files

See Parsing MRTG Files

Generating Graphs

Us the Python module matplotlib, Python - matplotlib, to generate images for data encapsulated in a MySQL database. Images will be displayed via a web server.

Also see [[1]] for samples of scripts integrated into a web application.
