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

[Alegria, Luis]

Eric:

I use mrtg on a win2k with about fifty devices, rrdtool, and routers2.cgi. I
separated all the devices into 4 .bat files groups. Then I use MRTG Daemon
(http://www.geocities.com/mrtg_daemon). Within those cfgs files, I have ping
and packet loss running for each interface, and an updown.cgi script. And
all this is pulling on a 1 minute intervals. The system has 15 second to
spare between cycles. 

Give it a try....

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

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
