[Bigsister-general] Extending BigSister for FreeBSD compatability?

[Danny Howard <suppressed>]

Hello,

Has anyone gotten BigSister running satisfactorily with FreeBSD and can
share with me their uxmon-net?

More interestingly, where can I quickly learn to improve the support for
FreeBSD?  I would like to fix, for example, the network thing so that I
can move from "no interfaces monitored" to actually grabbing the right
data.  (I have hacked up my own monitoring and dumping to RRDTool a few
times now. :)

I looked in uxmon/Config/network but that doesn't make any sense to me.
Near the top of the file it checks if it is running on Windows ... ?!

Also, is there support for graphs beyond doing lines?  The "CPU Usage"
graph in particular would look nice as a an "area stack stack" ...

Is there info around on how best to clean out graphs that have no data
to graph?  Or, "how do I turn off Disk load / Memory Usage / Number of
Processes given that they don't seem to have any data?"

Lastly, while I appreciate that BigSister "is not dead" ... can anyone
share their experience evaluating some other trend monitor and alert
package?  I'd be tempted to stick my head in Nagios, but it has no
graphs.  On the surface, Bigsister has all the features I want ...
graphing of system conditions, paging when things go bad, and a history
of notifications.  If I could get it to analyse the minutea of my
FreeBSD systems I'd be very happy indeed.  Where best to attempt to jump
in to extend the "bsd" plugin to support "freebsd"? :)

Thanks,
-danny
