[mrtg] Re: Running MRTG on NT - Problems

[Utsav Ratti]

I'm running the five minute scripts that were also in the mrtg directory,
and I'm using the at scheduler to run them. So far I've had no problems.
There is also a separate scheduler in the mrtg directory that runs on NT as
a service. I haven't tried it out, but perhaps it can help you.

As for performance, I understand that RRDtool (also by Tobias Oetiker) is
supposed to be much improved. It's basically MRTG on speed. I guess I'll
find out for myself if I get a chance to set it up on Linux within the next
few days.

Subject:  [mrtg] Running MRTG on NT - Problems


Lately I"ve been having some problems running MRTG.  I'm running NT 4
Server SP5 and monitoring about 35 devices with about 10 different OIDs
on each device.

I'm using the MRTG service for NT that I got off the link from the MRTG
home page.

I've noticed that lately the service has stopped updating every few
days. When I stop it and restart it it seems to run fine for a few more
days.

I have 10 configuration files, and I run them from a CMD file that gets
run every 5 mins.  Now I've looked at the task mamanger and it seems
that the CMDs seem to build up and not get released.  They are still
listed in Task mamanger but with 0 mem.  Could these piling up cause
the stopping of the service?

I've increased from 5 to 6 minutes now to see if perhaps this makes a
difference.  Perhaps the CMD was overlapping or something.

Can someone suggest a better method of running MRTG every 5 mins on NT
without much resource hogging?

Thanks
Chris
