[mrtg] Re: MRTG without SNMP

[Yannis Nikolopoulos]

what you can do is one of the following :

a. if you're on a *nix based platform you can write a small expect
script that will do the data collection on the router (every 5 mins for example). 
Then you can store the output on a text file and feed that to the MRTG conf file.

b. on any platform, you can write a perl script tha will open a socket to
to the router, get the bytes in/out, store the output to a file as before etc...

As far as IP Monitoring goes, Ciscoworks has as IP Monitoring tool
but I believe it uses SNMP (and its very expensive also :)
