The php-ness of cacti is what led me initially to shy away from it. I
understand that Nagios 2.0 is going with php (ugh) which is generally
annoying. I will give it a second conserdation, but I'd prefer something
that's C/perl based.

<marc> Where did you hear this? 2.0 is still using the same compiled
CGI's as before. PHP based CGI's aren't targeted until at least 3.0
which is most likley a year or more away. The move to PHP is a good
thing in that people will be able to more easily customize the
interface, integration with other software like cricket/cacti/rancid
will be easier and the session tracking will be much easier than it is
now.
