[mrtg] Re: Can I rename config files and not lose history?

[David Ziemba]

I do this sometimes.  I'll stop the cron job for about 1 cycle giving me
~9 muinutes, and rename the target name in [ ], and quickly rename the rrd
file (or .log file) to the new target name.  I use routers2.cgi, as well
as static HTML pages, and I've never run into problems.

	Filenames of the configs can be changed to whatever you want.

	what cannot change is the tags  [server_cpu]  etc... within the
config,
	these are what the filename is based on when the graphs are
generated.
