Why bother with ExHell for just a graph when MRTG can do it directly
to any web belcher?  See:
  http://www.cruzio.com/~jeffl/mrtg/orion/bell.pag.html
for a rather ugly, old, broken, and incomplete example of the output
of FreeMem and FreeSwap as reported by sar.  Just pretend that it's
all there.  The numbers are created by a shell script (that I can't
find right now) that runs a sar command (that I can't remember).  I'll
see if I can find the scripts later.

How to install and run SCO Unix SNMP and Hostmib:

You'll find that much of what you want to extract and graph via sar is
also available via SNMP.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
