Using Cacti To Monitor Modems, How to monitor modem stats, line quality, etc Options

[Demosthenes]

I have found an interesting thread on the Cacti forum suggesting how to use Cacti to monitor Billion modems. I have installed Cacti on my Ubuntu system and it seems to be working as it's graphing my memory load out of the box. Not sure what else Cacti can do though.

Installed the template and getting the following in debug mode as no data was returned. Anyone else have any luck with Cacti or can suggest better methods to monitor a Billion modem?

I have used the mrtg method under http://au.billion.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4309 for some time although I heard Cacti is better so though I would give it a shot.

I am using Naked ADSL so it is very important to keep an eye on line quality and uptime.

On another node did anyone ever work out how to save the modem log to disk and monitor specific aspects such as the firewall?
