Monitoring With Cacti
From MythTV
Note: This page is work in progress
Cacti is a frontend for the popular RRDTool, Cacti can produce graphing for any pollable service, which includes MythTV. While the tuner utilisation on MythWeb is usually enough to identify how much you are using your system, A Cacti graph will help you identify your peak usage.
