[mrtg] Re: MRTG on Solaris 8

[Derek Winkler]

I run MRTG on multiple Solaris 8 systems.

I tend to use Sunfreeware packages for tools which puts gcc in /usr/local.

Here, MRTG has it's own home directory, which is where the binaries, configs
and HTML are kept. This makes it easy in an environment where the home
directories are shared out.

You can pretty much keep anything anywhere you want.

Last time I built an MRTG binary I used gcc from Sunfreeware and just
installed the dependencies in my home directory and made sure they were
statically linked in MRTG so I didn't need to worry about installing the
libraries on every server.

For cross-platform stuff, (I display CPU/Swap usage for AIX and HPUX servers
from the Solaris system) I just have those systems create the MRTG data in a
file on the system. The MRTG "master" server has a config which just does an
ssh and cats those files using an external monitoring script target. Easier
than maintaing binaries for every different platform, here anyways.

Good luck.
