[mrtg] Re: Starting MRTG - There has to be a better way...

[Cornwell, Eric J.]

Simon,
	I thought about doing it that way but we frequently add and remove
devices so it would be more of a pain than anything to do that.   I've also
thought about switching to RRD but I don't think it will work the way we are
doing it.  MRTG is run on a work station then the pages are shared off and
viewed that way.  We don't go through a webserver that we have any control
over.  If I did go that route I'd still need the pages generated every time.


Thanks!
Eric

Eric,
I just have one big huge config file.  That works for me. (I currently
monitor over 100 ports) The other thing I have been considering is moving
over to RRD as it takes a lot less time to run the collection process.

Kind Regards
Simon Hall

Hello Everyone!

We currently monitor close to 100 devices with one Windows 2K PC.  Each
device has its own config file.  I have a bat file that runs and starts each
config the following way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
start /B wperl mrtg (RouterName).cfg  --logging MRTG_Routers.log echo
(RouterName) has been started. sleep 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Each device is offset by 7 seconds to help spread everything out.  My
problem is that with 100 wperl.exe processes running they eat up all the
available memory.  Is there a better way to start MRTG than this or am I
just going to have to live with it?

Thanks!
Eric
