In this chapter, you have learned a lot of new information. You have learned how to download and install Cacti and how to set up the directory structure and permissions. You have covered how to create a database and fill it with the base Cacti data and time zone information, and learned how to configure Cacti to find its database. There have been topics about creating the Cacti system user and setting up the poller's cron entry for doing the actual monitoring work. You have also covered the installation of the Spine poller and looked into the process of upgrading an existing Cacti installation. Finally, you had a brief look at the different sections and parts of the web interface.
You're now ready to create your first few devices and graphs in the next chapter. So let's move on then!
