=head1 About Remstats
Remstats is a system of programs to:
=over 4
=item - gather data from servers and routers,
=item - store and maintain the data for long periods,
=item - produce graphs and web-pages tieing them together, and
=item - monitor the data for anomalous behavious and issue alerts
=back 4
It's built on
L<RRDtool|http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/rrdtool/>.
There is a L<proto-FAQ|faq>; feel free to contribute. There's
also a L<to-do list|todo> to give some idea what might be coming.
=head2 Where to get it
The best available version is @@BESTAVAILABLEVERSION@@. You can get it at
L<@@SRCURL@@src/remstats-@@BESTAVAILABLEVERSION@@.tar.gz|@@SRCURL@@src/remstats-@@BESTAVAILABLEVERSION@@.tar.gz>.
The current version is @@VERSION@@. (This version may not be
available yet, as I will push out new documentation before the
new release, to make additions/corrections available as soon
as possible.) You can get other versions of remstats from the
L<source archive|@@SRCURL@@src>. Since almost all of it is
written in L<perl|http://www.perl.org/> scripts, there is no binary version.
=head2 How to get started
First, you should make sure that you have all the L<requirements|required>.
Then read the L<installation docs|install>. Then read the
L<server installation docs|install-servers>.
Then check out L<run-remstats> which runs almost everything else and documents
how all the pieces work together.
L<Thank-you|thanks>.
