[mrtg] SV: MRTG graphing stops after DoS attack

[Kjetil Kvig]

Is there a way to generate an alarm when the this non-graphing state occurs?
I guess i have to find out exactly WHAT is happening before anything can be done..

I use routers.cgi to display the MRTG graphs.
Is there any specific options in routers.conf file i can try out maybe?

As it is now i have to put up a cron job with a script that kill all mrtg processes and start them again.
The server btw, is a Compaq DL380 running Redhat Linux 6.2
