<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=718505213-29032007>First you have to
make sure from the MRTG host you can get replies to SNMP queries to
the box you want to monitor. You can use any MIB-browser to check
this. (On windows Getif can be a usefull tool)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=718505213-29032007>As soon as you
can get replies to the SNMP queries you can tell cfgmaker to make a config file
for MRTG.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=718505213-29032007>I suggest you
make a cfg file for each device and make a master config file with your global
parameters and an include line for each individual cfg file.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=718505213-29032007>Now you can
decide to run indexmaker with the master config file or for each individual
config file to get the html file(s) you want.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

It will add the interfaces that are down, but will comment them out. So
if you want MRTG to ask for the stats on those ports, you need to uncomment
them in the .cfg.<BR><BR>Each Interface gets it's own page in MRTG with four
sets of graphs, daily, weekly, monthly & yearly. I have built some
nice cgi scripts for inhouse use like you are talking about. For
instance I made a script to display the daily graphs for all interfaces on a
managed switch and made those links to the full MRTG page for that
interface.<BR><BR>I have not played with RRD, but should do that here as the
processing time for MRTG to make the graphs can get intensive on larger
systems can be excessive.<BR><BR>Lyle Giese<BR>LCR Computer Services,

<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have completely installed and managed

<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have 2 problems, as
follows:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. Using the cfgmaker script, I cannot
get more than just a router added to the MRTG.CFG file. We have a
Cisco 1720 router, a Cisco PIX 506e (which we probably don't need to
monitor), and six 3COM 24-port switches. Of most interest are the
six 3COM switches. How do we get all of these devices in the
configuration file?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. Even with the one device (the Cisco
router) correctly configured in the MRTG.CFG file, we cannot get the
updates to work reliably. I don't see much activity happening.
I finally stopped the MRTG service for a few hours, then started it again,
and then saw activity, but then left the service running again for several
hours, and no additional activity occurred. How do we tell the
service to run the mrtg script from time to time?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
