UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hey,

i want to create a graph.
The graph should show how many IPs are connected to a pool. But the graph should also show which IPs are connected.
Does anyone know a tool which is able to do that?

I already worked with PNP but I think this can't work because of rrd.

gnuplot:

oh wow the syntax of gnuplot are very hardcore for me.

Maybe I forgot to write that the graph should be created dynamic.
Every 15 minutes new datas are created by cronjob and should be written to the graph.

I have better experience in Tools which show the graph via webinterface and save the datas in a database.

Do you know such a tool?

Maybe GraphViz?

i looked at the gallery and it seems that's not what I search.
I think such a graph is best gnuplot demo script: histograms.dem

on the y-axis the connects and on the x-axis the time and the IPs.

Best option would be when the IP is only shown when the user points on the point of the graph in the webinterface.
But i suspect that's not possible with an OpenSource application.

Oh, it is possible with Open Source. It's just not available for free, meaning you'd have to invest some time and sweat yourself. Basically, you'd have to generate a graph plus the surrounding HTML, and a bit of JavaScript to display a certain tooltip when the mouse moves over a certain part of the graph.

Oh that sounds after a big project.

Do you know some howtos (for creating graphs, maybe Javascript afterwards) (in german would be best )

I do just my apprenticeship so I think it's very good for my knowledge to do that things, but I don't find the point where I can start )-:

edit: Is it right that i have first to put the datas into a MySQL database, then create via php the diagram an then modify it with JavaScript?
