so i have to run the cricket-collector for example by cron right?

what did you mean with global variable?
i just read about: monitor-thresholds = "<monitor-threshold> [, <monitor-threshold> ...]"
on http://cricket.sourceforge.net/support/doc/monitor-thresholds.html

i wrote a perl script by my own with some parts from:
http://www.linux-magazine.com/issue/44/Perl_RDDtool.pdf
http://www.linux-magazin.de/Artikel/ausgabe/2004/06/perl/perl.html (german)

i used the RRDs.pm for that.
if you are interested in the code i think i have to do some
cleanup before ;o)
