A Rails-based frontend for Collectd

FORK-NOTICE

• upgraded to rails 2.3.5
• removed RubyRRDTool dependency and use the original RRDTool Ruby Bindings instead

Thanks for the pre-work, it's a cool idea to manage lots of RRDs.

OVERVIEW

SCREENSHOTS

INSTALLATION

1. Install the following gems: Note: I personally found it necessary to use version 1.3 of rrdtool-devel for compatibility with RubyRRDtool. [Brian Long] gem install right_aws gem install haml gem install RubyRRDtool
2. Install the gems for whatever database you plan on using, e.g. sqlite3. Note: use of sqlite3 in production is strongly discouraged. gem install sqlite3-ruby
3. Edit your database configuration to your liking. (edit config/database.yml)
4. Create heymon's databases rake db:migrate
5. Edit config/environment.rb to point to your collectd installation. Note: yes, the implication is that heymon must run on the same machine as collectd. COLLECTD_HOME = '' # (edit config/environment.rb to change the following line)
6. Start rails and you're off!
