[mrtg] Re: MRTG Configuration

[Chris Burton]

I initially used the cfgmaker to make the router configs, this seems to be
why it worked vs. I made the switch configs using the cfgmaker.cisco from
the contrib directory.  I plan on going over the script when I have some
time and checking why it makes directories out of each device.

Thanks,

Do you use the same process to generate config files 
on routers and switches?  Have you looked at the 
configs themselves?  It sounds like that script puts 
a Directory qualifier in each Included file for the 
switches.

I've never used the configmaker.cisco script.  What 
extra info does it give?

I found out that this only happend when I used the cfgmaker.cisco config
script that comes in the contrib directory, I have not had a chance to look
at the script and see what makes it do this.  Configuring the workdir with a
trailing "\" does not seem to make a diffrence regardless of configuration
script used to make the actual .cfg file.

Does it matter if there is no "\" at the end of the WorkDir?

Do you have a Directory option anywhere in the switch configs?  
Does it create a directory for each target, or each Include, or some 
other kind of pattern?

	Ok, this is a dumb question but I can't figure it out.  I have
configured two instances of mrtg, one for router monitoring and one for
switch monitoring.  The first instance (router) dumps the .rrd tool database
files into the directory I have specified in the mrtg config (WorkDir:
E:\wwwroot\mrtg\routers\), now on the second instance I have configure the
global options the exact ame with the exception of the "WorkDir:
E:\wwwroot\mrtg\switches" option, the problem comes in when mrtg runs, it
creates separate directories for each switch.  My config file is a standard
mrtg config file, with "include:" statements for each separate switch, what
am I missing, this configuration works with the routers; just not with the
switch config.

Thanks you,

Chris Burton
