This howto is old, it may not work. There are new versions of HotSaNIC and rrdtool available. You can use the newer versions and use this how as a guide, this howto is not 100% correct anymore.

From root

First, we will need to install RRDtool

wget http://www.fastmirrors.org/rrdtool/rrdtool-1.0.x/rrdtool-1.0.42.tar.gz
tar zxf rrdtool-1.0.42.tar.gz
cd rrdtool-1.0.42
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/rrdtool
make
make install
make site-perl-install
cd ..
rm -fr rrdtool-1.0.42*

Now we will install and configure HotSaNIC

cd /usr/local
wget http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/hotsanic/HotSaNIC-0.4.0.tgz
tar zxf HotSaNIC-0.4.0.tgz
rm -f HotSaNIC-0.4.0.tgz
cd HotSaNIC
./setup.pl

You will be asked a number of questions during the install script.

Let's configure HotSaNIC by entering the following.

cd settings.all
pico main

press [ctrl -w] then type 'binpath' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

BINPATH="not configured"

change to

BINPATH="/usr/local/rrdtool/bin"

press [ctrl -w] again then type 'webdir' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

WEBDIR="not configured"

change to

WEBDIR="/var/www/html/HotSaNIC"

press [ctrl -w] again then type 'ctime' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

CTIME="24"

change to

CTIME="4"

press [ctrl -w] again then type 'convertpath' then press [enter]. Find and change this line.

CONVERTPATH="not configured"

change to

CONVERTPATH="/usr/bin/convert"

Finally, to save and exit press [ctrl -x] Y then [enter]. At the prompt type.

pico data-traffic

Find and change this line:

SWAPIO="no"

change to

SWAPIO="yes"

Again, to save and exit press [ctrl -x] Y then [enter]. At the prompt type.

cd ..
mkdir /var/www/html/HotSaNIC
./rrdgraph start
./makeindex.pl
./diagrams
./convert.pl

You now have HotSaNIC installed

To view HotSaNIC go to http://yourIPaddress/HotSaNIC/

(it will take a few mins for the graphs to generate data.

Now, Lets set HotSaNIC up so it will start when you reboot your server.

pico /etc/rc.local

Add this line:

/usr/local/HotSaNIC/./rrdgraph start

Then [ctrl -x] Y then [enter] to save

All Done!
