Core part of the torrus suite, providing support files needed by the other torrus packages. it can be installed directly and used with any fastcgi-compatible webserver package.

torrus is designed to be a universal front-end framework for round-robin databases using tobias oetiker's rrdtool. it may be configured to collect and monitor arbitrary data series from various data sources which can in turn be displayed on a web page.

one of the traditional applications of this functionality is the collection and visualization of network information using the simple network management protocol (snmp) from snmp-enabled devices.

you will need to install libcrypt-des-perl and libdigest-hmac-perl for snmpv3 support. snmp over ipv6-transport is also supported after installing libio-socket-inet6-perl.

torrus has been formerly known as rrfw, round-robin database framework.
