[mrtg] Re: "include" in mrtg.cfg?

[Tobias Oetiker]

Today you sent me mail regarding [mrtg] "include" in mrtg.cfg?:

*> 
*> Hey,
*> 
*> Should there be a way to include other configuration files in a master mrtg
*> configuration file?
*> 
*> E.g.  I have my cron to run /usr/local/bin/mrtg /etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg.
*> mrtg.cfg contains some global commands, but then has statements like: 
*> Include: /etc/mrtg/router1.cfg
*> Include: /etc/mrtg/router2.cfg
*> 
*> That way I can easily add, remove, or temporarily disable monitoring of
*> routers without having to mangle with one large file.
*> 
*> A possible scenario: I have a router with 10 interfaces that I monitor, but
*> I'm doing maintenance on it for an hour.  I don't want to stop mrtg from
*> running, but I also don't want it to have to timeout on 10 interfaces.
*> Also, I don't want to go in and comment out a bunch of lines in the config.

good point will look into this ... would it help to be able to
specify multiple mrtg.cfg files on the commandline ?

cheers
