I've been using it for almost 2 years and it's really great tools for traffic monitoring.
I installed on Fedoara core 6 and after installation, i dont need to touch any configuration.
Just using web administration and add/remove devices to monitor.
Comapre to MRTG, it has SQL database inside and can store history data and its good for reporting.
Because of php frontend, its slighter longer than to view simple html on MRTG.
Build in user management and authentication features, I can easily specify use level, graph levels and permission
which are not so easy to do with MRTG and Apache.
The graph trees also useful for collecting groups of interfaces/devices under the same link.
The plug-in architecture will complete you more with lots of features.
I found 1 post in forum and list all the plug-in
