[mrtg] Re: Newbie question

[piero at news.fb.se]

Answers from a 2 month user:

1. Yes, MRTG uses snmp to monitor a device. It has to be on or 
supported. Its configuration varies from type of device.

2. MRTG works great by its own. If you want to get more advanced graphs 
RRDTOOL is for you. Start your monitoring like me, im currently using 
mrtg only, planning to try rrdtool when i have more time..

:D

Right?
