[mrtg] Re: More than one mrtg machine?

[Perry, Duane]

I have two machines running mrtg and I am worried about load balancing as
well.  I just link my web pages from my main macine to the second.  I see no
problem running more machines with each one doing its own collection,
graphing and web serving.  That way if the one machine is down, the others
will continue to collect data and you can look at their stats if you know
the URL for each machine.  I am inexperienced with web serving, does anyone
know of a reason to do all the web serving from one box?  MRTG 2.9.4
supposedly allows the type of scenario you describe but I see no advantage
to it.

One additional note, I use five shell scripts to run a portion of my configs
each minute to spread out the load.

Fellow mrtg users,

Does anyone out there in data land have more than one mrtg machine in their 
enterprise?  I have a need to monitor about twice the number of devices I am

currently mornitoring, which will push the total devices I monitor to well
over 
4,000.  With more than one target per device, I would bet I'm hitting more
than 
8000 targets per 5 minute round.  Is there a way to integrate more than one
mrtg 
machine into the mix, other than having one do just data collection and
graphing, 
while the main one does the collecting, graphing, and web serving?

Thanks,
Paul
