[cacti-user] Can i install Cacti tool without MySql databse

[yugandhar G.V. <yug...@ya...>]

Hi all,
          I am new to using Cacti  tool. I have gone through the documentation of the cacti tool and gone  through the installation procedure of the cacti tool. In the  installation procedure they have mentioned that mysql is a prerequisite  to install the tool.
         I have read the manual cacti tool  from that what is come to know is mysql database is only used for data  storing and for round robin archive and the tool reads the data from  the database and display it on the graph. So, what i feel is that  instead of going for mysql database my own external scripts write the  output to a file and can i able to read the file from cacti tool  instead of reading database so that file itself is enough instead of  mysql databse.
                Can i able to do this tool installation without mysql database and  implement it with a file. Please some one in this group suggest me how  to install the tool with out mysql is it possible or not.
  
  Regards,
  Yugandhar
