The Cacti Integration module provides an interface to query Drupal for statistics and return the results to the open source Cacti network graphing package. The use case is that you would like to create ongoing graphs of statistics of your Drupal site, such as how many authenticated and unauthenticated users are on the site.
The statistical data goes one way: from Drupal to Cacti. All templates, information, and graphs appear within the Cacti interface. It does not allow you to embed or otherwise 'bring back' information from Cacti to Drupal. It's a one way trip.
Currently tested with Cacti 0.8.7f and later. It may work with older revisions or you may need to modify the Cacti templates appropriately.
Current Status
This is nearly ready for general usage, and a dev version with the server, client, and a sample template has been committed. I'd love to have a few testers.
TODO: Create hookable system for adding new data queries from other modules.
Architecture
There are multiple pieces to making this all work. Here they are.
