I too love RTG, been using it forever, appears to handle interfaces all the way up 10G.

Out of curiosity, are you hitting an issue that requires updating?

I get it, there are many options now, but back in the day, RTG was so simple and so useful, its a testament to the 
original product. Its a great light weight traffic monitor, at my old datacenter I monitored over 2000 interfaces (with 
up to 2 years of retention) from a very basic low-end single CPU box.

Hello,
 
We’ve been using this product for years and years http://rtg.sourceforge.net/ <http://rtg.sourceforge.net/> to 
collect and store SNMP statistics.
 
It has been working fine for us. I haven’t really been able to find much information about forks, new versions, and 
development happening on it.
 
A while back I heard that Yahoo created their own version of it but I could never find it.
 
Does anyone know if there is a spiritual successor to RTG that pretty much works the same way that is modernized?
 
Thanks!
