<div>Hello everybody,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I've just installed MRTG on a centos 4.5 and it just gave me the local output on <a href="http://localhost/mrtg" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://localhost/mrtg</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div> Now to add a swich to view it statisctics, i did <br>/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/cfgmaker communityname@router1 >/var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.cfg<br>and it succesfully created a .cfg<br><br>i edited my router1.cfg workdirectory as /var/www/html/switches
</div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br>I assume here you meant you edited the switch1.cfg and not router1.cfg?<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div>To create a page I did Indexmaker like :<br>/usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/indexmaker /var/www/html/mrtg/switchswitch1.html> /var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.cfg
</div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br>This is the wrong command. What you told it to do here was take the switchswitch1.html file and create the cfg file.<br>Try using this command: indexmaker --output=/var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.html /var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.cfg
<br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div>and it gives : ERROR: Line 8 ( WorkDir: /var/www/html/mrtg) in CFG file (/var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.cfg) does not make sense
<br><br>I tried doing workdirectory as /var/www/html/mrtg/switch aslo and several other options but does'nt seem to work well.</div></blockquote></div></blockquote><div><br>Also, I am not sure of the security problems you may have with storing your cfg files in the same directory as you html. I would think this is not very secure. I usually make a directory called /etc/mrtg and store my cfg file there. Just FYI.

<div>now i copied some stuff from mrtg.cfg to like runas daemon , HTML formating stuff, Stat and then I was able to generate switch1.html</div>
<div>i ran </div>
<div>env LANG=C /usr/local/mrtg-2/bin/mrtg /var/www/html/mrtg/core/switch1.cfg</div>
<div>and was able to get the results.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>but do i need to copy these fields (HTML formating stuff, Stat...) each time i add a new machine to view the services?</div>
<div>where have i gone wrong?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks in advance</div>
