Cricket (NETS notes)

Cricket is software that maintains web pages that show graphs of things like network performance. It is described at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cricket/. NETS uses cricket to graph the performance on UCAR and FRGP networks. See Cricket graphs for UCAR or Cricket graphs for FRGP.

On the FRGP workstation, we installed cricket with apt-get. We created an account named "cricket", which owns all the cricket files and the cron jobs that make cricket run. If you want to mess with cricket, ssh in as cricket.

The cron jobs run "configure" once a day and "collect-subtrees" every 5 minutes.
