[mrtg] Re: No Data

Tue Jul 2 00:14:22 MEST 2002

Forgive me for my ignorance I am very new to this, but I looked at the
log files and this is what I see in there; 
1025555162 0 0
1025555162 0 0 0 0
1025555131 0 0 0 0
1025555100 0 0 0 0
1025554800 0 0 0 0
1025554500 0 0 0 0
1025554200 0 0 0 0
1025553900 0 0 0 0
1025553600 0 0 0 0
1025553300 0 0 0 0

Does that mean that it is collecting data?  I only cut out a portion of
what was actually in there.

Thanks
Saul

Ok, so you sent it, the weekend passed, and I just saw it 
today.  No delay other than me not reading e-mail over the 
weekend.

I don't know if RunAsDaemon works on Win boxes.

If you only run it once, then again 5-7 minutes later, you'll 
have no meaningful data.  Have you looked in the .log file 
to see if you are actually collecting data?  The first line 
should be populated, the rest may or may not have dat in them, 
depending on how many times (in 5 minute intervals) you read 
in the data.  Kicking off MRTG more often than every 5 minutes 
won't do any good.  You need to do it every 5 minutes (or longer, 
depending on the Interval:) for MRTG to get anything valuable.

Good luck,
Paul

I sent the question on the 28th of June not today.  If you're just
getting it today maybe there is a delay on your end of some sort.
Either way I appreciate your response.  

I am not running it as service yet until I see something.  I run the
following command " perl mrtg mrtg.cfg" and 5 minutes later or sometimes
7 minutes later I run the command again, and don't see any graphs.  I
also tried adding the RunAsDaemon: yes option and started it by typing
the follwing " start /Dc:\mrtg-2.9.18\bin wperl mrtg --logging=eventlog
mrtg.cfg" but still no luck.  I know it connects to it just fine because
I can see the description that I entered on the SNMP properties of the
Firewall.

Thanks
Saul

You just sent in this question today.

People on this list respond as they get time. 

Don't resend a question if you don't get a response within x number of
hours.
If you want this response, I know people who can provide support for
MRTG for a fee.

Now for your question.

Do you run the process as a service, run it from AT or something else?

MRTG needs to collect data every 5 minutes unless you specifiy some
longer interval.
If you want something shorter, MRTG should not be the tool you use.

Anybody have any ideas on this?

I am running MRTG on a Windows XP machine and am trying to monitor

bandwidth on our firewall.  It seems like everything went fine, no

errors, but when I look at the graph it is just a flat line (no data).

Any ideas?
