<p class=MsoNormal>Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are currently monitoring 300 routers. Is there anyone
monitoring a higher number of devices with MRTG RRDB?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Our problem is that MRTG server stops updating the RRDBs
while the MRTG process is still running.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We tried het below:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in'>1-<span style='font-size:

and restarted the MRTG processes, RDDBs are updated for a period and then
stopped again.<o:p></o:p></p>

7.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'> </span>Increased
the child processes (Forks) from 4 to 12 processes, RDDBs updated for a period

any snmp requests from MRTG.<o:p></o:p></p>

getting from messages log: “<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:
