[mrtg] Re: .cfg file issue

[Jeroen.vanGeem at BAKERNET.com]

Hello,

What I was trying to create was the following:

I wanted to monitor every interface (24) on every switch (30) in our network
in such a way, that when a new PC/printer is connected to a switch, the
graphs will automatically show up after 5 minutes.

But that's really impossible to accomplish? To create a .cfg file that also
creates entries for non active ports so that when they become active, the
graphs will show.

Hi 
    When you make mrtg.cfg ,it will poll only for active interfaces .
What I would suggest is that if you are using a small switch ,active all the
ports and the generate mrtg.cfg .
My personal suggestion is that you should not monitor all the ports ,monitor
only where servers are connected or other network equipments .

I already tried that one, unfortunately without succes.

All inactive interfaces are still being marked with '#' signs, started with
this comment:

### The following interface is commented out because:
### * it is operationally DOWN
### * has a speed of 0 which makes no sense

Try option --show-op-down on your cfgmaker command line.

Hello all,

I'm having a problem creating .cfg files in a Win32 enviroment that includes
all interfaces of a switch. 
But after I created the .cfg file, the inactive ports are all labeled with
'#' signs as inactive. Trying to remove those signs in notepad and
restarting doens't show any graph when I 'activate' a port (connecting to a
pc and start downloading stuff).

Anybody an idea? I tried to work with if statements, but they don't seem to
work either.

Original line:
perl cfgmaker bla at ip_adres --global "WorkDir: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\switch"
--output switch.cfg

Experimental 'If statement' line: :-)
perl cfgmaker --output switch.cfg bla at ip_adres --if-filter=$if_admin &&
$default_iftype --global "WorkDir: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\switch"

It says then: '$default_iftype' is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.


Any help is appreciated!

Tnx in advance,

Jeroen
