[mrtg] Re: Can mrtg just read from file instead of SNMP?

[Clint Alexander]

Yes, I'm aware that cfgmaker --vendor community at router > mrtg.cfg
will give u a proper config file. You run ./mrtg mrtg.cfg  afterward.
However, I mean, when ./mrtg mrtg.cfg runs, does it not query the routers
again to pull down stats, and build the log files for rateup?
This is what we want to make on our own.
