Cricket is a high performance, extremely flexible system for
monitoring trends in time-series data. Cricket was expressly developed to
help network managers visualize and understand the traffic on their
networks, but it can be used all kinds of other jobs, as well.
Cricket
reads a set of config files called a config tree. The config tree
expresses everything Cricket needs to know about the types of data to be
collected, how to get it, and from which targets it should collect data.
The config tree is designed to minimize redundant information, making it
compact and easy to manage, and preventing silly mistakes from occurring
due to copy-and-paste errors.
