[mrtg] Re: FAQ or How to for rateup to rrd

[Robert_Mersberger at BeverlyCorp.com]

I had no problem getting RRD to work in mrtg, All you have to do is add the
lines stated below to point to your RRDtools directory.  I am, however,
Having a problems getting the graphs.  I know for nothing about setting up
CGI and will take what ever help I can get.  My mrtg runs on one Machine and
the files are all saved on our intranet server.  All perl/rrdtools and mrtg
directories are are my mrtg machine.  Both System are NT4 OS.

Another one looking for help.

As Daniel rightfully pointed out....

I had a little trouble getting this after using mrtg - 14all draws the
graphs and html on demand, not automatically each time mrtg runs.  Make sure
you have the cgi configured correctly.  The reason I did my setup this way
was so that I could have 2 separate configs tracking the same data from the
same routers, just to make the transition a little easier.  It looked like
two totally separate configs to mrtg, one was doing rateup, the other was
doing rrd.  Completely seamless transition for my NOC and other areas that
use it.  They didn't even know I had switched over until I told them.

The other piece of the puzzle is getting 14all.cgi or routers.cgi to work.
That's where he may need help if he's not up on CGI...
