That's the way cfgmaker works. 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>

On Windows I've never tried to run it as a service. Typically I set up
a batch file to be run from the Task Scheduler every 5 minutes for 23
hours and 55 minutes. This has worked for me many times over many
years. Alternatively, there are some free/OSS cron clones for
Windows. These may work as well. <br>
<br>
I can't help on the cfgmaker issue, all my devices are and have been
Cisco and that works quite well. <br>

running again for several hours, and no additional activity occurred.
