[mrtg] Re: converting to RRDtool on NT, beautiful *empty* graphs

[George Nease]

Hi Nigel, thanks for the note. 

I'm trying to keep my old production 2.9.0 MRTG using rateup.exe, running
from d:\apps\mrtg\run, going on the same server which is hosting my beta
2.9.12a with RRDtool, running from d:\apps\mrtg2.

For the beta RRDtool installation, I'm using .cfg files which are a subset
of the old mrtg.cfg (for instance, a couple of 7500's or a couple of
12000's). When I run the .cgi against these, I get .rrd's for them, but for
some reason either they're not incrementing or they're getting only zero.

So, maybe NT is not capable of keeping the two straight (maybe you can't run
the old MRTG2.9.0/rateup on the same machine with the new 2.9.12a/RRDtool?
Do they interfere somehow?

Also, has anybody else noticed this error message when you run "perl
14all.cgi" :
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)
?
Thanks for your patience; I'm halfway through Tobi's RRDtool tutorial...

George,

	Does RRD work OK minus the cgi ie all logs are nor .RRD and MRTG
reporting no errors?

I'm getting very close to having rrdtool working by following Garth's
snmp4tpc site steps. 

At this point I'm getting beautiful *empty* graphs. *No errors in
eventviewer*, so I'm thinking that permissions are probably not the problem.
The only thing I can see that's odd is when I follow Garth's diagnostics to 

"... test it, then open a CMD prompt in the CGI-BIN directory, and run "perl
14all.cgi" (our whatever you called it, omitting the " ") you should see a
screen full of html text. "

...instead, I get this

C:\inetpub\scripts>perl hurrah.cgi
(offline mode: enter name=value pairs on standard input)

...however, when I call it from the browser, I get the beautiful *empty*
charts. 

Thanks in advance for any pointers you can give me...
