How to graph your modem utilisation with ploticus
This install process describes how to generate a stair-step graph of you modem usage throughout the day, with the explicit goal of answering the question:
- Do I have enough modems?
It is a bit involved. However, one you are finished you will be able to generate graphs like these, which are viewable from any web-browser (even a Manager can use it!)
