<p>You are misunderstanding what MRTG does. MRTG isn't a server that
runs all the time. You configure it to poll certain SNMP hosts and
then you run it, usually every five minutes, from cron, and it
creates graphs that then get served up usually by a webserver like
apache. I would read the documentation more. cfgmaker is a utility
that comes with for making the config files (though you can do a
lot more than what cfgmaker will do for you), and indexmaker can
make an index page of all the graphs for you, if you want
something quick and dirty.</p>
<p>The reason mrtg didn't do anything when you ran it like that is
that you haven't configured it to do anything - i.e. poll any
hosts.<br>
</p>
<p>I think you just have to read the documentation a lot more. Good
luck.</p>

<p dir="ltr">I am configuring remotely.<br>
I found the cfg file located at /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg <br>
So I tried The and:<br>
env LANG=C /usr/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg <br>
Nothing happens.<br>
Even trying ps -ef |grep mrtg nothing is running.<br>
Before trying to start, I changed display tiping export
DISPLAY=<IP>=0.0 .<br>
But didn't work.<br>
What can I do?<br>
Tks</p>
