pMy ambition was to implement a small (better tiny) appliance for
monitoring network health and network resources, short and longtime
trends, running under VMware Server or VMware ESX. So I had an eye upon
all components which are implemented on the system, to be as
leightweight as possible. This was also the reason why no SQL DBMS
based software was used. The appliance is based on Ubuntu Jeos LTS (8.04.3 at the time of
this writing). Almost all used components are from the related
repositories. This tutorial shows how the appliance was implemented./p
