Description:

NISCA (Network Interface Statistics Collection Agent) is a more
flexible PHP4-based MRTG replacement. It supports both SNMP and
reading localhost's /proc/net/dev device file directly for
statistics gathering.

It uses MySQL to store collected data in, and stores statistics
for bytes transferred, packets transferred, transfer errors, and
dropped packets separated into a per interace incoming and
outgoing set.

It generates both graphs and a textual report table using the
data from any timeframe contained in the database. The entire
package runs using PHP4; it uses the CGI binary version of PHP
for stats collection (running in the background as a "daemon")
and either the CGI or Apache module versions to generate the
GUI form and reports. It can also import existing MRTG logfiles.
