[Perfparse-users] PP versus RRDTool, GNUPLot and others

[Horvath T. <zs...@ax...>]

Hi List!

I think the FAQ ( http://wiki.perfparse.org/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=5#q21 ),
which was mentioned by Ben and the two suggestions from Yves is very
important.

In my opinion it is important enough to included in a separate topic in the
main PP website (http://perfparse.sourceforge.net/).

Why? For instance in my scenario was the following:

I looked for a chart add-on for Nagios. I read information about lot of
them, and chose two, or three candidates. But I have no clue which one will
satisfies my needs best. I chose PP because it can store raw data (and it
has other nice features also:) ). But all of my colleges and managers know
only MRTG or RRDTool. My customer - whose network is monitored by our
company - also. I needed some argument to convince them.

I think lot of people will chose PP if they know these information.
And another important thing: if someone choose PP in a way that he or she is
aware of these information, he or she would not complain of PP not
satisfying his/her needs, etc.

Thanks, Tamas!
