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
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.
