Finally, we’re at the last stretch of what ended up being a 3-part series on installing, configuring and using SNMP and RRDtool to get some simple graps for CPU load and network traffic.
Welcome!
Hello there and welcome to my blog! This is still quite new but I plan on writing about what I learn as I use OpenBSD to host this site, as well as anything else software related I take an interest in. Hopefully you’ll find something of interest here
Setup RRDTool for CPU and network graphs
Having installed SNMP, it is time to measure something, store the measurements in a database and finally make some pretty graphs of it. The tool I’m using for all of that is RRDtool.
Setup SNMP for measuring CPU load and network traffic
One great thing about OpenBSD is that it comes with many services included. SNMP is one of them, meaning it can be set up without installing anything.
I am not sure how much value SNMP provides by itself, so I will be using it with RRDTool to capture, store and graph the measurements.
An initial and basic set up of Wireguard on OpenBSD
One great thing about OpenBSD is that it comes with many services included. Wireguard is one of them, meaning it can be set up without installing anything.
Here is my initial and quite basic setup of Wireguard on OpenBSD without using anything other than what is included in the base system.
OpenBSD 7.7 released
Exciting times! OpenBSD 7.7 has been released, time to upgrade.
