[mrtg] Re: A Question

[Kevin Enslow]

Here are a few suggestions I gave to my manager to improve our server:

More memory always helps. You didn't mention what kind of processor
you have, might want to upgrade that.

split your config files up, I have about 5-6 that run at different times.

Make sure your on a switched network.

Also, if you could figure out how to split the load between 2 network
cards, that might help to, but not sure. I haven't tried this yet.

You didn't mention what version of MRTG your running. I'd suggest using the
latest one (2.8.12), with the RRDTool. I'm converting over my configs now
and it seems to be helping.
