     Abstract:  This talk covers the social and technical aspects of using
                Cricket (cricket.sourceforge.net) for performance monitoring
                of Enterprise systems via SNMP, Log Files and Custom Scripts.
                Performance Monitoring is often an after thought which faces
                SysAdmins when something is "..slower than it usually is.."

                Topics covered:
                * What is performance monitoring?
                * Why is it important? What should I monitor?
                * Defining Performance Baselines
                * Why is Cricket useful? How do you collect data?
                * Is SNMP Safe?
                * Alternatives to SNMP
                * Example configurations used at GU
                * Pretty pictures for managers
