[mrtg] Re: running mrtg against multiple devices from one .cf g fi le

[Perry, Duane]

I am very new to MRTG also but the setup I took over runs Linux and has
staggered cron jobs running MRTG on many individual cfg files.  We balance
the CPU load needed by each shell script that issues the commands to spread
the load over the five minute interval.

You can create a single config file and use the include command. See the
reference doument for more details.

Subject: [mrtg] running mrtg against multiple devices from one .cfg file



Hi I'm quite new to MRTG and have been learning more each day.

I would like to run a single instance of MRTG to monitor ports on multiple
devices on our network. At the moment I'm doing this by running multiple
instances of MRTG, each against its own .cfg file.

Is there any way of getting a single .cfg file to call multiple .cfg files
for
the actual devices?

I vaguely remember something about an 'include' function but can't find any
doc's on it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
