[mrtg] Re: mrtg rrdtool mrtg-rrd.cgi

[Will Saxon]

mrtg-rrd requires that you put the config files you want to see specifically in the .cgi file itself. Then, you access the page by:

http://your.webserver.com/<your_cgi_dir>/mrtg-rrd.cgi

The index page generated by mrtg-rrd.cgi uses the same daily graphs as the detailed pages do, whereas 14all uses a smaller, legendless graph (at least by default - is this changeable?).

The output from mrtg-rrd is a little easier on my eyes, though probably a little less precise (?). I actually like it better. However, the (perceived) precision and the ability to specify config files in the url were so important to us that we are using 14all instead, until we figure out how to modify mrtg-rrd to accept url parameters or write our own cgi. 

Also, using mod_perl it seems like 14all might be a little faster than mrtg-rrd. I don't know if I have FastCGI set up correctly though, so it may be using 'normal' cgi. mrtg-rrd quit working altogether when I installed mod_perl and told it to handle all .cgi files.
