Is RRDtool good for monitoring website user actions?

Client wants graphical representation of users online, registrations/logins/logouts graphics etc. Is RRDtool 开发者_C百科ok for it?

As long as you are focusing on a limited number of data sources, rrdtool is perfect for this.

Good: Number of people logged into the system over the course of a day.

Bad: Individual login and logoff times for each user of the system.

To answer your question.. It depends on what you want to do. While RRDtool is a great tool, it isn't a trivial task to set it up and manage it's needs.

If you are just wanting to produce nice looking graphs in a way that's more straight forward, consider looking at JpGraph. http://www.aditus.nu/jpgraph/features_gallery.php
