[mrtg] Re: MRTG and RRDtool: How can I make sure?

[David Sawyer]

Are any PNG files created?

Are any HTML files created?

Are any *.log files created

If no to all three questions then native MRTG is not being used.
If the *.rrd files are being updated (check the date/time stamp) then this
is working.

By 'Choppiness' do you mean corrupt, as I remember a post about PNG files
becoming corrupt just the other day by Rob Shipley.
