 | 13 |  |  | Both of those need to be installed first. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 14 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 15 |  |  | Finally, rrdtool is needed for graphing. It can be found here; |

 | 20 |  |  | With that lot installed, start watch.pl; | 
 
 
 
 
 | 21 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 22 |  |  | ./watch.pl iscreamserver.domain.com 4510 | 
 
 
 
 
 | 23 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 24 |  |  | This will generate the rrdtool databases from the live data the i-scream server provides. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 25 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 26 |  |  | ./graph.pl | 
 
 
 
 
 | 27 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 28 |  |  | This will generate the graphs. This is best run on a cron job. | 
 
 
 
 
 | 29 |  |  |  | 
 
 
 
 
 | 30 |  |  | Finally, index.php will make a dynamic page based on the data graph.pl generates. |
