[mrtg] Re: Displaying the MRTG Banner Images

[Brown, James (IP)]

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the info, but do you still have to create a link for every
workdir ?

I was hoping there would be a config change somewhere in MRTG which would
point the banners to a different location.

James.

Short answer: symlinks

Example:
mrtg images are in /usr/local/mrtg/images

graphs are in /usr/local/mrtg/workdir/

ln -s /usr/local/mrtg/images/* /usr/local/mrtg/workdir/
(the wildcard may not work for you, so you may need to do it file by 
file... ln -s /usr/local/mrtg/images/img.png 
/usr/local/mrtg/workdir/img.png).

Keep in mind that the dir will need to be secured and that your web 
server will need to be able to follow symlinks.

I did just what you describe as I use a different dir for the graphs for 
each host I monitor.
