<p class="MsoNormal">I am new to mrtg. The previous network admin
setup a network
bandwidth monitoring application using mrtg and I noticed that most of
the
,monitoring is through the switch port that the servers are connected
to..is
this the best practice? Also, if I want to make changes to correct
where I see
that several servers are no longer in service and some servers have
been
assigned to different ports than what is set up in mrtg, is it easier
to change
the inc files and the html for the monitoring site or is it better to
accomplish this through the config maker?<o:p></o:p></p>

Config maker will setup monitoring for the ports on the switch, but it
won't have a clue as to what is attached to which port on the switch.
You need to hand edit the files made by config maker for that
information. <br>
<br>
Includes are better than one big mrtg.cfg file, esp if you grow and
decide to use routers2cgi and rrd later.<br>
