[mrtg] Re: Forks options

[Daniel R . Kilbourne]

ummm......sure


difference in what?




forking will help if you have latency issues with the host being polled,
or if you have very large configs

from www.mrtg.org:

-Forks (UNIX only)

-An a system that can fork (UNIX for example) mrtg can fork itself into multiple instances while it is acquiring data via snmp.

-For situations with high latency or a great number of devices this will speed things up considerably. It will not make things faster though if you query a single switch sitting next door.

-As far as I know NT can not fork so this otion is not available on NT.






Are either of these true?
