iControl web app to generate data for Cacti graphing

indeed! has someone 'measured' this? that is, in fact, my feeling on this, generally speaking - that SNMP is 'the most light weight' solution available, but iControl (if written well) can still be light weight.

 

 

quick example of poor iControl design - in my first app I was polling for all get_all_statistics() and then running through the data to find the 2 or 3 I was after, but then re-factored running 2 or 3 separate queries using get_statistics(virtual_name) method and that was faster (less overhead).

 

 

regardless, I had the same observation here: even running get_all_stats (which was poor design for my app) didn't cause a change in the CPU (which we graph with SNMP).

 

 

i would love to hear other examples and yours, with 10,000 data points, is very encouraging!
