[mrtg] Re: sample cfg file for multiple cfg files

[Paul C. Williamson]

I'm not sure if this got through, so I'll send it again.

In your standard mrtg.cfg file, you've got global options like 
WorkDir (although I recommend replacing that with htmldir, 
logdir, imagedir & icondir) and WriteExpires: Yes.  You still 
need to have that info.  I just put that into it's own include file 
called globalstuff.cfg.

Then in my other cfgs, I just have target specific information.
IOW, I run cfgmaker, name the cfg something like 10.0.10.50.cfg, 
and then put that in my master cfg file.  So now the only thing in my 
master config is:

Include: /usr/local/mrtg/cfgs/globalstuff.cfg

#Name: Choke Router
Include: /usr/local/mrtg/cfgs/10.0.10.50.cfg


these lines.  Makes it very easy to maintain, add new stuff, etc.
I also have a program that builds my website automatically each 
day, so when I put in a new entry, I make sure I have the correct 
name so that everything is sorted and written to the correct files 
for web viewing.

You need to make sure you only have one set of "global" commands.  I usually
put those in another include file and include it in the main config file I
want to run mrtg against.

You know, workdir, whatever...

I do have the full path

include: /path/filename.cfg
include: /path/filename2.cfg
include: /path/filename3.cfg

but is this all the text that i need on the main cfg file
or am i missing something else. cause that is how my config file looks like

Use the full path for the includes.

I had asked a question earlier today about monitoring a 2 different routers
and a server, Hans answered that i needed to use the include statement. but
i cant get it going.  all i did was made a new cfg file and typed 3
different lines that start like

include: filename.cfg
include: filename2.cfg
include: filename3.cfg

this could be stupid but im just starting with linux and mrtg. 

i would apreciate any sample configuration files.

Thank you very much
