From the website:
"Spackle is designed to be a flexible client/server architecture for the
gathering and displaying of statistics, primarily suited to monitoring
servers. It's written in PHP and bash shell script, uses RRDtool for stats
logging, and PostgreSQL for the server-side database. (soon to support MySQL
as well)"

I had this up and running within a few hours. The hardest bit was getting
PostgreSQL running as it's been a few years since I used it. I had a bit of a
problem getting it to work on rh6.2 boxes but I documented the changes here:

Web interface is simple, but functional. It has a simple way of distributing
the monitoring scripts (which could be compromised but I digress), and the
resulting graphs are pretty!

Donncha.
